Congatulations, thats my second favorite color scheme. Is it 4WD or have the E-Locker. Suggestion would be to take care of anything need for it to be mechanically sound then modify.

Looks like a 4wd to me, just judging by the ride height, and if so it should have the E-locker given that it's a limited, but I'll let the OP answer that.
Congrats on the purchase man. That's a good price for what looks like a truck in great condition with lower miles. From the sounds of it, you've already ordered the lift/wheels, is that right? You're off to a running start for sure!
And you've already got your pic for the snow thread to boot!

Yea she's a 4wd and it does have the locker.
I havent ordered the lift yet, only because im not sure which one im putting on. i was thinking coil overs on the front and lc springs on rear. but at this point im still shopping around for the right lift.
i already ordered the wheels and tires though. black 17in rims with 32in nitto terra grapplers.
also has remote start and car alarm. it wasnt working when i bought it, i was foolin around with it before the storm hit, and voila! remote start up and runnning again.
Im taking the running boards off as well, i hate them with a passion. but there is a ton of snow outside so thatll have to wait.
and i will be buying a sport hood for it as well. so there is alot to look forward to in the next couple of days. alot of pics will be taken !

long time no see!
Hey guys havent been around much, but id thought id pop in and show you guys a few things that ive done.
i got my 33in nitto terra grapplers wrapped around my 17in black steele rims.
2.5 spacer lift (totally not happy with it but im saving my money for ome)
and i was working on the blacking out the badges and grill today, thank god for plasti dip.
i was thinking about rhino lining the silver trim around the truck but was wondering if anyone had input on it?
anyways here is some pics that ive taken in my absence around here.
downtown kansas city 4x4
here is a pic when i took some of my guns out to the range as well a look at the front grille before i blacked it out.
my parking jobs after a few to many drinks one night.
plasti dip fun!
finish product. i am very happy with it.
tell me what you guys think. any suggestions? im also looking for some lc coils.

I think this last weekend we were on the same mind frame. I did the exact same thing to my Salsa Red Limited (Black emblems and grill). I like it better, but eventually I'm going to get a 01-02 red grill. Nice work.

Looks good! IMO I would leave the silver trim silver, but that's just me.

Don't forget to take out the insides for the Toyota logo on the back.
IMO it looks better with the inside picked out.
Other then that looks good man!

IMO the grill looks out of place now unless you're doing the bumpers too or paint it body color.
