    So I'll start with how I got the truck. Long story short me and my dad have been selling this little truck back and forth for a bit then I got it back after I sold my honda. Had been sitting for a year or so and needed a bad cleaning. Then I painted the front grill bumper and valance black cause they were rusting a little and looked like cap lol.

    Then I cranked down the torshen bars and put in 2 inch blocks. And got some 14x6 trailer rims I believe and cheap tires for a little better look. After that I chopped off the old rusted out muffler and put on a flowmaster 50 series 2 1/4 which actually sounds really good to me. No rasp.

    last weekend I 20160821_122124.jpeg ended up snagging some great little work benches from my great grandpa
    Honestly not to sure I wanna make it handle way better but it's my daily so I'll keep to just bolt on stuff for now. But I'd love to make it look kinda pro touring with a fat wide tire stance.

    Ya that would look pretty sick! I'd recommend getting a upgraded sway bar, you can take turns like no other and not have as much body roll. It's amazing

    Ya that's what I wanna get after I get some new wheels and if the motor doesn't go lol. If I had to guess I'd say it has easy 350000 on it cause the odometer stopped 8 years ago lol.

    oh snap! ya thats alot of mileage, but the 22re can defiantly take the beating and can go on even longer! Just make sure you do your regular maint. and your good. Also if you need to rebuild the motor then the 22re are pretty easy to work as well.

    K I will let you know how they are. Was only 90 bucks for the kit so wasn't badly priced.
