    I joined the forum because I love to mod ever vehicle I get my hands on. This truck is going to be fun. I plan on doing a lot of things to it and hopefully very unique. I am calling her Ayano. Which means "my design" in Japanese. I will be getting it in February and I cannot wait to work on it. I believe this vehicle will get me into welding for sure. I have always been into lowered vehicles and cannot wait to finally own one. If anyone is from Las Vegas let me know because I would love to swap ideas and some know hows. I am into car audio and this truck is going to be tough to work on since I am used to trunks. LOL. This is my first truck and I always wanted a small truck. I love Toyota and I am pleased to finally get my hands on one. I will be posting pics of everything so watch out for some very unique things happening to my truck. Thank you in advanced for all the knowledge and support. :waytogo:

    So I successfully did a Ball joint flip. I did the lower with 3 washers and the top with no washers. So now the front is lowered 1.25". Love the free drop. Now a little torsion and then on to the back. What should I do? I was thinking take out the middle leaf and do 3"blocks or should I just do 4" blocks? I kind of like a little bounce to the ride I don't mind unless I will catch air on the freeway. lol

    So the truck won't start. It will turn over but it doesn't want to stay running. It's in a shop so I will pay to get it running and pass smog.
