Some fresh pictures, while I'm here...

Nice moves as always Nick - subtle and effective. Bronze on black is hard to beat. Gives it some clean JDM flare with the yellow fogs too.

Thanks, Addison. I was going for a clean, unique look on this one and I think we got there. It turns a lot of heads when we're out and about.

That RickRunner, though! :thumb:

I wish Canada wasn't so far from NM, because those Colossal trips look like they could be a good time.

Truck looks great. Wondering if you still have your stock wheels, and if you wanted to sell? Just bought an 07 Limited, and looking to move from my 18" to 17".

Your GG build is better than my personal build...I need to step up my game :lol:

Thanks. We sold the stock wheels this spring. A guy in NY saw my CL ad and had a friend who was local pick them up and ship them to NY for him.

What has this rig got on yours, a fancy grille? I'd take your coilover/wheel/tire/brake setup over a fancy grille all day... not to mention the V8.

Why don't we just trade straight across?

Thanks for the kind words. Maybe just the V8. You started off with a much cleaner slate than mine was / is in though. I just like simple OEM plus builds though. I sometimes down play the work that I've done on my builds... hehe

NY, wow. Must be hard to find parts without corrosion. Now back to craigslist.

Well then, I'll be gracious and just say thanks for the compliment!

Yeah, no kidding. I couldn't believe he paid to have them shipped out there. I did save him some money and time on shipping materials though, as I provided the boxes and packing that came with the new wheels. Any way you slice it, though, that shipping was expensive.

Did you buy that salsa red limited that was on santa fe/taos CL a few weeks back? That was a nice one.

Nah, I picked it up at Rich Ford in Edgewood. They took it in on trade from someone here in Santa Fe. I'd been looking pretty hard for a while, and was about to expand my search parameters when it popped up. I think I paid a premium for it, but with only had 69k on it, and considering I keep my vehicles for a while, I think it was money well spent.

Just found this thread! Nice work on the 4th Gen Nick! I've been wanting one for a while... but the wife wanted something smaller and more fuel efficient... so we got a Civic.

One suggestion I have, (and this is just my opinion... so take it for what it's worth... lol), would be to black out the chrome grill, and black out the headlight housings.

As for the interior... are the gauges orange colored like my Taco was?? If so... you can de-solder and re-solder replacement LEDs into the circuit board, and refresh that too.

Mine turned out decent... I opted to put in some Carbon Fiber vinyl in the pods...



Keep up the good work and detailed posts... always liked that about you. Very organized, detailed, and thorough.
