    I have a green 93 pickup and I do not know what to do with it next. I just want this truck to look clean and good. I have no clue as to what to do next. So far I have lowered the rear 3", 5% tint on the windows, and I just installed a train horn. There are some dents all around and a decent sized one on the bed now. The paint is fading on the hood and there are the usual scratches everywhere.

    Here are some pics. Let me know what you think I should do. I really dont know a whole lot about mini trucks and so on so I dont know what would help it out the best.

    What do you like that you've seen? You've got to figure that out first. Check minitruckin's site and scroll through the tech articles and pics. You've got to be yourself and put that into it.
    Everybody and their brother has a different way of doing the same thing. Just look around and decide which way is yours.

    I love the 4wd front end conversion. This and any other body mods would have to be done before paint.

    Your wheels are perfect. I'm over the whole chrome wheels on mini's.

    you should do some corner mount sr5 mirrors, especially since you don't have a passenger mirror..... or shave the other one. a 4runner front end will get rid of those damn sealed beam headlights and clean it up a lot... clear corners and LED or smoked taillights look cool. if you are going to paint it use it as a excuse for a rollpan in the back and maybe a smooth tailgate

    I do have a few nasty dents that I want to remove.

    Right now I am trying to save for a bike, but I still don't know. If I do finsih the yota, I will most likely get the suspension done(2" Spindles and replace the blocks with springs), get my dent and paint issue taken care of, low profile bed cover, and a rollpan and tailgate skin.

    Can anyone paint for cheap!? LOL

    Heck no it wouldn't be overkill. I was going to paint mine flat black. I think it looks sick! But alas, being part of a car club that hosts shows on a regular basis, I decided that the flat black wouldn't really fit in around a bunch of tuners. It just looked too unfinished. If I wasn't involved up to my neck with the club, I wouldn't have caved.

    I was actually looking at yours and wanting to do the same thing. Looks like you have wheels meant for a car on yours as well.

    Yes, they are tuner wheels. But honestly, I'm over the whole minis' chrome thing (wheels). Chrome is ok, but it's been done. These are however, made for a rear wheel drive and are the proper dimensions for the pickups...... and hey, they only weigh 18+/- pounds each.
