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.
 
thats a clean looking runner, nice colors. do you know what all you plan to do on this one or are you robbing parts off the other or anything??
 
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! :banana:
 
Welcome to the 3rd Gen Club! Looks like you got a nice and clean one! Look forward to seeing what you do with it!
 
:wink2:

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 !:wink2: :wink2:
 
Haha success today! New twelve in Jl audio subs 1600 watt Jl amp and kenwood head unit in today. Got remote start and locks working. Coming along great. I'll be Posting pics tommorow morning!
 
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?

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.
 
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!
 
yea the emblem will be redone, it was messed up when i got hasty and didnt let it dry long enough. you cant see it but some of the plasti dip got pulled off.
 
Well seeing as i love looking at everyone elses build thread, i thought id do a small little update to my own

i painted my front and rear bumpers black to match my grill and emblems and it turned out good.

i decided to truck bed coat the silver trim of my truck, most are against it, and i wasnt sure at first, but i have to look at my truck everyday so i made it what i thought i wanted, and it turned out great. im happy i did it.

as well i got some offroad lights to rig to the back of my truck for reverse, not sure how im going to mount them or wire them. probobly of a single switch so i can use them when people are following me to close.

ALSO! i got a free roof rack with extension from a guy down the street, he didnt want it, so ill post a few picks of it. (its from curt manufacturing, but i like it!)
