    hey just wanted to show you guys some pics of my truck. i dont really have pics of how it first started but i have a few current ones.

    i originally had a 91 xcab hardbody lol until i swapped it for the 88. the 88 was really not in good shape. the body was all rusted out. motor needed work, clutch fork gave out so the previous owner was slamming the gears.
    we pulled the motor to overhaul, trans was seized and we had to crack the bell housing to remove it.

    changed the main and rod bearings. removed and cleaned the valves and put them on a new/used head.
    installed a 280 comp cam, and all the other stuff found their way on to the truck through out the years. cant remember the order.

    heres what i currently have:
    22r
    MSD 6al
    Accel super coil
    Accel 8mm wires
    Doug Thorley headers
    Flowmaster 40 series (straight pipe, cat delete)
    280 Comp Cam
    4 inch drop front (cranked torsions)
    3 inch block rear
    off-set weld draglites,
    15x7 front
    15x8 rear
    autogage 5" tach

    future mods:
    32/36 weber progressive carb
    5 speed celica trans
    posse 4.38 rear gears
    valve train upgrade
    could use some body work
    weld pro stars
    electric fan
    bottom end

    aww that sucks....

    oh well, hope you grab a new tire sometime!

    lol how fast do you drive to scrape the pipe or rip off the valance


    anyway, what you need is the 89-95 2WD valance and attach via zipties.


    and if it does rip off and gets flattened by your truck's tire, just hammer that bitch out. ask me how i know :D

    anyway, i'm valance-less right now too!

    well for the pipe i usually scrap it on speed bumps, inclines and such.
    valance, i cant run one. i will chow it immediately. roads here suck. but i do want to put on a 84-88 4x4 or 4runner bumper on. the one with black ends
