So I always post random things on here about my truck or what Ive done to it. So I figured I might as well start a sort of build thread. Maybe it should just be a tinker thread ha ha.

Anyways, guess Ill give ya'll some history about Lil Red...... Here's when I first got it.

Completely stock. Except the stupid rice burner muffler that was welded on the back that stuck out like an Elephant boner. Thank god I cut that stupid thing off and put a glass pack in its place. I soon learned after the fact it too was just as stupid. I just delt with it for a couple of years.

Then the rims came....

After beating the sh!t out it in high school, I finally came to my senses and took care of my truck like I should. Holy crap I hate typing. Soon after I discovered clear corner lights, bumper lights, and tail lights.

Then Toyota Minis came into my life and opened a new door to mini truckin for me. I put in a new cat back exhaust, Magnaflow cat with a Super 40 muffler. Also put in a new intake. Threw in some HIDs and LED tails. Then I fell in love with my stockies again after giving them a fresh paint job.





I lowered my truck as well with a full ball joint flip and 3'' blocks. Ive got more pics just got to find them but for now this is what Ive got. More to come....

 

Aww dunno why the pics are not showing?

 

Truck looks good bro. How well do the HID's work for you?

 

Thanks man. The HID'S are ok. They are in reflector housings so they don't do any good really. I need to do the Retrofit change over so that the light is dispersed and has good cut off. My opinion is save yur pennies and buy the Retrofit kit for our headlights.

 

I run e code lights they work ok way way better then stock

 

E code lights? Never heard of them. Got a pic?

 

If i remember right E code is also called eauropean beam.. it's just a type of beam cutoff, just Google it.. I run them on my truck

 

Nice truck bro

 

Thanks man. How's your trucks coming a long?

 

I know you keep saying you like your steelies but I dig your old rims.

 

Thanks. I rock them in the summertime. Winter kills them here. Road salt is my worst enemy. I love the way they make my truck handle. They need to be refinished though. Lots of pitting.

 

Some dude hit me with his tow hitch. Backed into me. Broke the grill dented the bumper. Pushed the condensor into the radiator, dinged the hood and driver side fender. Pushed in the core support a bit. And i need a few new fuel injectors. Been lagging it on the truck lately

 

So my favorite delivery truck came today and dropped this guy off..........

Now to find a way to mount it in the cab. Got a few ideas, just need to put them in motion.

 

Finally I think my sound system is complete. As you'll see in the pics my two speakers sitting in the back were the only speakers that the truck came with. Then in high school I put in the tweeters you see on the pillars. I put in a sub and it was killer! Then I took it out cuz I was really squished and wanted comfort. Then a couple of months back I got the 4 runner seats.

I put in new 4" Lanzar speakers in the dash that were never there. And just a couple of weeks ago I put in the 6.5" speakers and tweeters from Lanzar in the doors. My Christmas came and I just put in a 10" powered sub. My system sounds awesome and I still have comfort while cruising around.

I'm going for functionality nothing special.

 

Looking good! I bet that sounds great.

The side shot of your truck looks super clean!

 

Thanks man. Yeah only Spring, Summer, and Fall it looks that good. Winter time kills it for me. I have to keep it waxed quite often to keep it looking that good. The paint is faded pretty bad on the cab and the bed.

 

It's been a really warm winter here for some reason. I'm sure spring it's going to dump rain like crazy. Any who, I got the itch to hand wax my truck. I used to do it in the past and now I remember why I stopped, cuz it sucks! But the outcome was good.

 

Lol, o yeah the old "why the hell did i start this!?" lol...looks like it came out great! Whats your wax of choice?
