Hi, i'm Nick, 21, from Lancaster County, Pa. I've always been into minitrucks ever since I saw my first MiniTruckin and Street Trucks when I was little. I also met a few guys through model cars who are into the scene and they also influenced me. My one buddy was/is into the scene longer than I was born I'm a huge car/truck/motorsport/ enthusiast. I'm into everything from small british sports cars ( my dad had an Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite ever since I was born ) and japanese cars/drifting to Pro Touring and offroad. I've had fun with other cars. I had an 85 VW GTI, a rusty and in bad condition 80 Corolla for like 2 months, and sold my 93 Mazda MX3 GS for the truck I have now, which is my love. I wanted to get a truck for my first vehicle but I figured i'd have some fun with those others but i'm glad I finally settled down in a mini, it's about damn time haha I bought a bone stock 89 22R in the end of June. It didn't stay stock for long haha none of my vehicles do I knew about this site and always stalked around the build threads and pics but of course never joined so i'm glad to finally have joined! My buddy has a bagged 91 Toyota that i've helped build and he went to this site for years. I'll try to not sound like a total newb with things lol I'm looking forward to learning from you guys
thanks man! Front-Suspension Source's (pretty much Belltech's) spindles with the torsion bars torqued (almost fully) and in the rear 3 inch drop leafs from Andy's Auto Sport with 3inch blocks. I love it where it's at. It's lower in person but once I get my skidplate made, I want to go about an inch more in the front, I still got some torsion bar left ha and in the rear go about 2 inches more with a 4 inch block
yeah I lucked out HUGE on this one. I was looking for S10's, Sonoma's, Hardbodies, Mazda's and a few Toyota's that were either really nice and too much or shatty and cheap but shatty. A friend of mine at my work saw this one while he was walking by close to where he shoots hoops and for being close too 200K it has a SOLID frame and body with very little rust, no holes or rough spots. The owner really took care of it, I got it for 1500. I figured i'm sure as hell not gonna find another near me, at the time, in this good of condition for that price I've been looking at some JDM wheels, like some Panasport G7's and a few others but also thinking some aluminum slots or American Racing Daisy's
Welcome, Nick! Glad you finally decided to join up. It's a cool place to hang out. You are so like me about not keeping something stock. Out of the factory, our trucks have so much more potential than how Toyota dresses them up. Mods are always a good thing. American Racing Equipment (ARE) wheels would look cool on your truck. Check out my ARE's on my truck. It's in my photo album. Rick
Welcome to the site. Nice truck. I lived in Lancaster County for about a year graduated from Hempfield High in 05.
Trucks looks great man, really clean. I love the silver weith black accents. I think a chrome 5 star wheel with black inserts would look so sweet.
thanks guys yeah I reallly am not a fan of silver, to boring for me but I love it on this truck and yeah, the black accents give it the perfect contrast. Wheels are such a hard choice for me, i'm horrible at finding the right wheels hahab I may run the wheels my buddy had on his when it was static dropped for just for the fact the freaking trailer wheels that are on it are too damn skinny. I was also thinking a nice charcoal centered wheel with a chrome lip would be nice. I will definetly post up progress pics.
