So last year i picked up a v8 135k mile light blue, when i went to replace the gas straps holy cow rust city. So luckily i was able to sell that one and a week later found this one i currently am fixing up to my likings.
Got it with a leak, which ended up being the timing cover. So went ahead and replaced water pump, timing components, oil pump, and did a valve job. also replaced Knock sensors, oil pressure sensor, and crankshaft sensor while i was in there.
Now my plans are to throw the TRD wheels on it, ASAP, as i love the look of it.
Things i wanna change.
The ride height, i like the stock height but came with cheapo auto parts shocks and ride is unlevel. i plan on keeping this bad boy for a while and not really into putting 30's on it, just bigger a/t tires, after i wear out the cheapo a/t it has now.
My back window is just clicking, cant get to roll down.
is there a replacement available for the carbon fiber looking window trim??my drivers side is missing.
definitely want to change the running boards as you see mine are cracked in the corners, N Fab style nerf bars. Seeing them for around $400
would love an ARB bumper but at $1200-1400, have to wait a little bit to get one.
