love these old school toyota trucks.

stance that shit and paint it!!

So updates huh? I guess I'll put out..

Here's the ghetto breaker bar I made to get my wheel off, it didn't work, but it was cool
[IMG][/IMG]

This is my bent wheel after I had already been hammering on it for 20 minutes, I don't know if it's repairable, I can't afford to have it professionally done
[IMG][/IMG]

Painted my hood the color I'm going to paint the truck, rattlecans FTW!
[IMG][/IMG]

So I rocked the hoodless look for a day
[IMG][/IMG]

After I took my bumpstops out(which are trimmed and back in now)
Crossmember VS. 2 X 4
[IMG][/IMG]

ALSO I put one of my rear wheels up front to see how the wider wheels would look, I've got perfect credit card fitment, but I scrub cause they're so wide, so I'm seeing skinnier wheels with spacers in my future.

Thanks for looking! I may or may not decide to update ever....

[milano_red]

Just flare the fenders. Wider is always better!

Very true ^


So right after I said I should get spacers I look on CL and see a set of universal five lug "adapters"

It doesn't say how big they are, good idea?

[milano_red]

I would just do spacers, your already 5 lug

Hey guy quick update, I spent eight hours yesterday mono-leafing my truck.
I apologize for the quality of the pics, my hands were shaking really badly, but you can make out what I'm doing.

Disconnecting my leaf springs
[IMG][/IMG]

Here they are after unbolting them from the axle, and I've already pulled the middle leaf in this picture
[IMG][/IMG]

Before(actually about an inch higher cause it was still on the jack)
[IMG][/IMG]

After
[IMG][/IMG]


It didn't give me NEARLY enough drop but it'll do for now, thanks for looking!

Update, of minor proportions.

Painted my frame

Green

My friend's Dakota, making my truck look tiny
[IMG][/IMG]

And at last! A whole truck!
[IMG][/IMG]


I think it's kinda ugly.. I liked it better without the bed, but I refuse to take it off again.
Also forgot how my tail lights were wired so spent two hours sorting that out, but they work!

As always, thanks for looking!

It looks awesome man. I need to take my bed off, and mono leaf it!

Thanks man, and yeah you do! It didn't give me much lows at first, but with the extra 200something pounds of the bed it's way lower.

Picked up some old racing steelies with a buddy of mine, super angry because they're 5x120 and my truck is 5x114.
Who wants to give adapters to the broke kid?

[IMG][/IMG]

[milano_red]

Try looking for wheels that are 5x114, you can find wide/low offset wheels all day long for cheap

[Nick475]

What he said^^ huge variety out there for 5x114.3

[Rinku-Bitch]

Well fax me hard and send me a memo, it's an update!
And a biggun at that, here goes!

This is me, wishing my wheels fit
[IMG][/IMG]

My taillight cover before sanding(I already took some primer off before this pic)
[IMG][/IMG]

And after!
[IMG][/IMG]

I went for the matte look, can you tell? Cause I can't..
[IMG][/IMG]

TRUK
[IMG][/IMG]

So my dad and I went to get some tires mounted, and across the street I found this, with like 15 others that weren't slammed
[IMG][/IMG]

Dayumm
[IMG][/IMG]

Floor, cleaned and painted
[IMG][/IMG]

And the other side
[IMG][/IMG]

Fucking rust
[IMG][/IMG]

Mother fucking bitch ass rust
[IMG][/IMG]

Best way to solve a problem, pretend it's gone....
[IMG][/IMG]

I can do this allll day rust
[IMG][/IMG]

Looky there! Almost invisible. Much better
[IMG][/IMG]

This was pretty shitty looking too, but I sanded it down and it looks like this
[IMG][/IMG]

And that concludes the update!
It took awhile to compile this much stuff, but I'm broke as hell so I can't buy parts.. So.. Yeah....

Thanks for looking!

Use some street signs to cover it up for now.
