I know, I named her. Sue me. It IS a great name though. :p

My uncle bought it in 2000 brand new, and got all of the bells and whistles he could find. It's a Limited 4x4 w/ Rear E-locker and almost every option available at the time. A few years ago, he owed my mom some money and paid with this car, and it was decided it would become mine. It was perfectly maintained by his mechanic, and then by my mom's mechanic, and now by me. ^^

I don't take pictures much when I should (then always regret it later), so I'll do the best I can with the pictures I have.

Here's the first picture I have of it after it's first (stock) offroading trip :D:

This is the best picture I have of how she stands currently (will have better ones soon):

On to the mods list (in chronological order for now):

Yakima Roof Rack
Magnaflow muffler
231mm Tundra brake upgrade
Tundra Bilstein 5100/TRD Tundra springs up front OME 890/Bilsein 5125 in back for around 3" of lift
Budbuilt front/belly skids (desperately need painting)
LED interior lights
Cobra 19DXIV CB w/ 4' Wilson Flex antenna

Upcoming mods (in no particular order):
Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs 285/75/16 (coming soon)
ARB front bumper (hopefully after Christmas/birthday ^^)
Addicted sliders
Bajarack
Many, many lights
Clear corners
Tail light guards

I wanted to go ahead and post this, so people could boost my ego (as people on this forum are wont to do :biggrin2:) and so I could track my modding progress, and I plan on writing up most of the mods I do, because as an idiot, I feel I am uniquely qualified to write idiot-proof guides that address all of the small things that I came up against in my installs.

Now for the rest of the pics I have:

Half way through lift rockin' that sick reverse rake:

Sorry, couldn't help myself with that nickname :D

Are those 265/70/16?

Definitely should have seen that coming. :redbrick:

Yeah, they're stock size road tires. And after a year with me driving it like a racecar and offroading it, they're almost gone. And soon they will be. :D
 
Got some work done today

Plasti-dipped emblems, need to be cleaned up and redone so complete pics will come later

And, the best upgrade of all, new head unit. My old one was complete garbage and this new one is a complete night-and-day difference. It's pretty incredible.

Off to a good start, can't wait to see this up and rolling. I can't wait to get my build thread up and going. Edit on a side note don't be ashamed of naming her, I named mine Lexi. lol

Welcome to T4R.org! Looks like you're off to a great start! Nice pictures...

I'm horribly creative, I named mine "The Rig" :D

See ya around and keep up the good work.

I really dig the mud pic. What are you thinking on replacement tires?

Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs 285/75/16 (coming soon)
