Curious.

1. What do you mean "inspection 9:44"?

2. By chance STIG is referring to Top Gear?

Scratch the no accidents, in december of 04 apperently it was in an accident. Still a great deal though, i finally ran a carfax. I have no idea what happened in the accident. I had my suspicions but this is the proof.

I think it was minor damage to the front right of the car, i think the side fender was replaced as was the bumper and headlight, and as of right now that headlight bracket is broken. Well i still love the car and wouldnt sell or think less of it.

Did you get this at an auction? That is ridiculous cheap for such a nice truck.

The Bumper Brackets are finally here, they were $50 shipped for the brackets to hold the center section of the bumper. I've had the bumper in my possesion for a few weeks now, The bumper will be installed over this next weekend, for the simple fact that i cannot do this without air-tools and grinders and a lift.

Why do you need a lift? I understand you need powertools since you've got a **** ton of rust...

I did it in my driveway twice...

Well the lift is with the power/air tools, and its a lot easier to work with air tools on a rusty undercarraige while standing, but just the shear amount of rust that falls while trying to do anything on the underside, so much just falls and it forces you to stop if you are laying down on your back.

New bumper installed.

MIDWAY and FINISHED (there is a 7ft piece of Blue stone in the back, that is why the hatch is roped down.) Its actually feels a little slower cause i dont have the racing holes in the new bumper .

LOL, racing holes?!?!

You will have to put some fuel injected lug nuts on that thing to make up for the loss of your "racing holes"

 

[FoneRunner]

Looks good dude...I know you're happy getting one more thing on the project list completed!

 

[LINY4Runner]

you need a VTEC decal to make up for the loss of the racing holes

hahaha
