    i'm plainning on fixing up a couple things but wanna keep it somewhat original.
    planning on getting speakers,radio, new bumper, projectors, clear lens, LEDS, new interior and dash, crager soft 8 rims, thinking about doing the BJ flip i see alot of ppl doing but don't know if i capable lol

    Looks really nice. Id suggest doing a retrofit if you want projectors.

    looks like a good starting point

    lotsa potential. b/j flip was the first thing i did. I was 15. that's how easy it was lol.
    And i'd drop those "4 lug" hubcaps.

    get a set of projectors from another car that came with them from the factory. and modify a aftermarket housing(in this case) to fit the projector

    The ebay projector 7x6 have no scatter shield, therefore no cutoff, crappy lighting and not a projector of any kind

    took my whole dash apart today after last night my car totally died on me. got it towed home and fixed the problem. glad it wasn't the alternator or starter phewwww!!!. turned out i had a old alarm system on that the anti theft got triggered some how and shut everything off in my car. so i took that out n re wired some stuff. also installed some red LEDS for my cluster and climate control...gotta save up now since the tow trucked costed me 200 bills! ugh.

    Got my new rims and tires today and also a new CD player and speakers.
    Rims were Black Rock Type D 942 series with tire size 215/65/15
    i'm a lil disappointed in the rims the lip isn't as big as i wanted, forgot the 4.5 backspacing is going to make the lip smaller than the one pictured on the site i bough them from but oh well . as for clearance everything is good tires don't stick out so i'm happy with that. loving the fatter tires and wider stance. only one problem!! the right side of my bumper is pushed in like 2-3 inches and that rubbed the heck out of my tire when i turn.(bought the truck like that) but yea after a lil muscle and yanking the bumper out i got the clearance i needed.
    so next project probably a new bumper bracket or bumper depending on what is what i need. then b/j flip? ahhhh lets see how that goes.
    (3rd and 4th pic is of the bumper and tire problem)
