    so far I have not really done to much but I have done some things like


    [​IMG]
    install new tilt steering column and momo wheel

    -installed new gauge cluster from a sr5 sorry no pic as of yet or the new update of the interior will get one soon

    - installed new deck and speakers


    swapped shoes form my car to my truck since my car will be going to 18's soon


    befor

    had to add some 1 inch spacers so tire would not rub frame. I am pretty sure a 285 is about as wide as you can go in the back and boy does it look good

    [​IMG]



    well that is it for now and i got some other stuff that will be swap and built for this truck


    the idea it to make it handle really well and mabye a ct26 60 trim that i have sitting on my shelf may makes it way onto the truck so how heheh

    well i bet if you cut the lip and shave the frame reinforment bar tab down ya could mangle a 315 i know I had to space out my wheel 1 inc to have flush look and clear the frame tab thing


    kinda choked right now I bought a 8 inc supra lsd and spring upgrade kit for the new found diff i bought and well found out that the 2wd use's the 7.5 doh

    it's for sale if any one wants ot buy i all sell it cheep


    but then I remember i had a spare diff form my old mk2 supra rally car so i will be buying new kit to replace the clutch's and spring's and be installing rather shortly

    I have a V6 2WD 8" axle in my truck.

    Nice work on the door panels.Are you going to repair the bed or get a new one.Kind of a tough spot there on the top.I also like that pipe work on the 4runners roll cage there in the back.Straight axle too.nice
