2002 Thundercloud Sport Edition

August 2013

I got my 3rd gen in 2013 after many months of searching for the right one. Then a great deal popped up at a local dealer ship and it was to great of a deal to pass up. I got it with 74,000 miles on the odometer. Here is two pictures of the first day I bought it.

October 2014

Fast forward alittle over a year and I was ready to install my first mod. I found a used pair of Toytec Eibach coils on Bilstein 5100s with OME 891s. I went ahead and bought some Bilstein 5100s from Toytec along with a diff drop.

This picture is just with the rear of the lift installed...

Then this was my first trip into the woods with my lift fully installed...

After that I didnt do much for the next few months because it was ski season.


April 2015

Earlier in the year I bough a used set of BFG All-Terrians from [MENTION=79380]redbull9944[/MENTION] for $100 dollars. They had about 50% tread and were 275/70/17s so I had to buy 17 inch wheels to fit them. I got 4 4th gen sr5 wheels from [MENTION=7105]Scramble[/MENTION]. These needed some work so I sanded them down and painted them with Rustoleum Gloss and mounted up the tires. I really like these tires so far.





Also sometime within the year and a half i have owned this 3rd gen i have gotten the front 2 windows tinted at 20% by [MENTION=101827]zRus13[/MENTION] and installed a pioneer headunit.

I plan to do some modding this summer and I have some projects coming up within the next week. Finally decided to start a thread so lets see how this goes!

Good thing I have a laptop, I can rotate it easily to view your sideways pictures! Good color choice ;)

Yeah my bad on that one. I didnt have a newer picture that I liked, that was the only one. Ill have better on rotating them before I upload them.

Thanks though, it was between this one or red but I liked Thundercloud way to much! Im looking forward to following your build!
 
Still wrapping my head around how you got a 74K mile Sport for $9K. I'm filled with envy.

Honestly I still can't figure it out. After I searched for a few months and finding 3rd gens with upwards of 150,000 on them, which I planned on buying I just couldn't find the right one , I was shocked to see this pop up right down the street. I wasn't going to let this one go.
