    That guy hit me up on Instagram asking how the replacement fenders fit. Said he wanted to do a widebody. I was like why would you spend 600 dollars to modify them so drastically. Doesn't seem he's cut them up to bad. Lol

    I almost bought another 76 that had a 1uz swapped in but it wasn’t complete or running and if I had brought it home I’m sure my wife would have killed me.

    Your truck. I would probably do it for the joke. It would be hidden though. Reminds me of the time my friend went to a muffler shop for an exhaust. He supplied them a muffler but they straight piped him. They only installed the star tip they sold him. Lmao

    Could be fun. I’m a big fan of bosozoku builds and want a silly exhaust that won’t make it impossible to use the bed.

    Keep it tucked under the bed so you can only see it at the right angles. Tell people you got a new exhaust and get them to check it out. Act like you haven't looked yet. Make it seem like the shop played a prank on you.

    Starting painting the tailgate but the rain kept me from finishing. I still need to clean up the "TOY" but not bad for free handing it. 2s5rcwt225l61.jpg

    I used one-shot which they use for pinstripes. I’m able to get a pretty good line by cleaning it up with my thumb.

    Two of my wheels came in. If the other two arrive tomorrow I’ll try to get tires on this weekend. 44668346-B784-4370-967D-2756D1C88E6F.jpeg

    Should throw a spacer on when you get the flares on.

    That is nice looking. Is the rear going to get the same treatment?

    The blue tape looked better haha
