A quick time lapse, the 2nd to last photo being today.
March 2008
You can see that it was not equipped with much. There was no roof rack, tow hitch, air deflector, or any fender trim. Also notice the faded/damaged bumpers, broken antenna, cracked license plate molding, base black mirrors and door handles, and 15" wheels.
February 2009
In these photos, you can most notably see the new roof rack, air deflector, retracted new antenna, wheels and tires, SR5 badge, and treated bumpers. I restored the plastics with Meguiar's Back to Black/Hyper Dressing. A nice coat of dirt and mud always helps, too.
June 2009
Notice the new wheels, 2002 model grille with billet, clear corner and bumper lenses, rear bumper, exhaust tip, LED tail lights, rear license plate molding, tow package (since removed), green mirrors and door handles. There are also more little things here and there. Interior is also refreshed with sport seats, miscellaneous bolt covers, buttons, OEM cargo mat, OEM floor mats, newer Pioneer head unit, 2 Alpine subs, OEM tweeters, and mirror pods. I ditched the front plate, too.
January 2010
The major difference in the vehicle this time around would definitely be the new wheels and tires. The wheels are 17" Gunmental Tundra rims, and the tires are 265/70/17 BF Goodrich All Terrains. Mostly I've been doing maintenance and haven't been on top of the modding. New sway bar bushings and 30% tint are recent as well.
March 2010
Big change here. The last set of pics shows all the paint chips really well. This photo, there are none. New sport hood, new fender, and repaint of a large portion of the vehicle. The tires got flipped to blackwall since I never wanted white letters in the first place. I busted the bottom valance on the front bumper, though. Pictured here next to brian2sun.
