Vantage's into and build thread!

[Vantage85]

Hey everyone,

Today is a great day, I bought a 2004 SR5 V8 T4R.

72,000miles.

dealer had it listed at $24,900. I walked out for 18,500. It was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but the truck is in MINT condition.

I will post pics tomorrow as It is already dark outside.



Future plans include Scion HU and possible a powered sub.
daystar2.5/1.5
255/75/17 GYSA's.

I have been a member here for a while, and can't wait to make this runner stand out.

I absolutely love the truck, best vehicle I have ever owned. The V8 is a beast, great power at any speed and rev.


Here they are:

I'm located in Vancouver BC Canada. I think I paid a fair price,
the other truck I was looking at was a 2003 v8 limited with 110,00miles for 16000

Congrats on your car.

No problems with getting it dirty.

My last truck was a built Tacoma.

Sadly, This truck wont be getting a nice suspension package just yet. It has low KM's and the springs arent shot, so until then it will just get a spacer lift and 32's.

Maybe after the springs sag I will upgrade to OME or Toytec ultimate.

I kinda went that way too. I waited for the shocks to go before buying sus. Started off with 32's, which rubbed the UCA's so I did spacers after that. I was considering the same 2 setups and went with an OME medium setup about a month ago. Took 198,000 kms for the damned x-reas shocks to leak.
