Haha! Good workout for you then lifting those pups up. Thank you also. Yea, the wheels look a lot like the Enkei Borgners he had, which were even nicer than these! :cheers: It seems to me like these mods never end... In the near future I am looking to refinish my chrome in black, and use a...

And of course some baja style mud runs... <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/zI-fp16T3UNmvloKnbWtj9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"><img...

More pictures of my first test off-road trip I just passed my boards and as a result decided to go up north and test this baby out! When I wasn't driving I was drunk for about 12 hours straight floating on the lake beer in hand...<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a...

Thanks! I was debating this. I have some retro stuff planned for the future that I am hoping will round things out. I want to do a recreation of the old school decals on the side of the truck, but I haven't figured out how to best integrate it. I also have to refinish the bumpers, add my clear...

And now some pictures of the suspension and wheels! I finally got a chance to snap some photos and get an alignment. I drove around in some mud, dirt, rocks, and trees and got a good feel for everything. The absolute most amazing part to me is that I still got almost 23 mpg highway, and I am...

Toytec suspension issue First test drive with the suspension revealed contact with the coil even when simply driving through some grass. I am unsure of what the problem is. <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a...

My experience with Andy's Autosport has been awful. It took me over two weeks to receive my replacement shift knob. When I did get it it was the wrong color, the wrong thread pitch, the finish was defective AND scratched, and the threads were all quite rusty. They are a drop ship company, it is...

At the shop having the lift installed. <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Avd3vYn0vr1BInYgSl9R99MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"><img...

I also decided to clean out my MAF, throttle body, etc. I seafoamed the hell out of the upper engine and everything was spotless. I made an enormous mess of smoke, I degreased and detailed the engine bay, and immediately after the seafoaming the car seemed quite crisp and smooth. I ruined my...

Satoshi Like many others I did my grill mod. I used a heavy duty racing mesh as my backing, which was so rigid that I only needed to cut, fold it over, and fasten it on using hardware and rubber washers. I of course coated and primed the metal with industrial enamel, as well as the inner grill...

skid plates Next I decided to refinish the skid plates since with the lift they would be more visible. I cleaned them, used an adhesion promoter, and applied a coating of POR15 first. Unfortunately POR15 has to be topcoated or the UV will break it down, so I went over the top with safety red...

Stock without side skirts. <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/hVydbMTw85aKEnrnfWOvstMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2yUlKem6ctI/UA13OUDsB8I/AAAAAAAACos/7nuFBBXRKDc/s144/IMG_2836.JPG"...

One of the first things I did was replace the headlights with nice (and cheap) new Depo ones from Amazon. This made an enormous difference. <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Bezc3uU2AH95oUhQivR4R9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"><img...

Mods continued I have a new set of wheels now. They are SEC, they were made in 1998 and never used, new in the box. All I had to do was have them re-clear coated and mounted! They are 17x8 with a 4.25" backspace I believe. I don't think I will use the centercaps. The bore is 108mm, so I picked...

I am starting a build thread for fun, to post up some pictures, and to catalog some of the mistakes I have made, lessons I have learned, etc. for the archives. Also, hopefully someone will think my truck is cool! Here are some photos as they were when I bought the truck. It is a 1997 SR5 with a...
