Year One
Full of piddly little aesthetic mods and such.
I purchased it on 3/12/11 from Yokem Toyota in Shreveport, LA. Awesome group of guys over there. The next week I broke her in on a trip to Orange Beach
Orange Beach, AL 3/29/11
Added a Aries Brush Guard and 2 Hella 500's
And I installed a Curt Receiver Hitch to add my Yakima Bike rack
Installed and later removed a Cobra CB with a 26" Mag mount I got from Wal-Mart
Getting in the Christmas spirit with some roof rack Christmas lights!
Blacked out Sport rims
LED Dash conversion, thanks Scott (eagle5521)!
Plasti-Dipped Grille

Got the hitch installed today, sorta. It was sturdy enough to hook up the bike rack but not to tow. The drivers side was a breeze but the muffler only allowed me to put 2 of the 4 bolts on the passenger side. Anybody have any ideas on how to remedy this?? Will post pics tomorrow

Yak Rack and hitch installed.
Sorta
Couldn't get all the bolts on due to the muffler on the passenger side. Anybody have an idea of how to get to those bolts?

Lower the muffler by removing one of the muffler supports and or use a ratchet wrench for the tight space

Hellas are here!!!
Only have them mounted for now. Don't have the time to get down to the actual wiring today. Just wanted to see how they looked.

I used a crow's foot with my torque wrench to get those, but didn't need to do anything with the muffler/resonator.

Thanks. I need to get around to fixing this. Been too busy looking for new mods I haven't been able to finish the ones I've already started

You can also remove the rubber hanger near the resonator and gently push the tailpipe outward to allow enough room for a socket extension to get up to the bolts... start threading them in by hand of course. Good luck! Runner's lookin' good!
