    Okay, even though I've been here a little while, but I figured I might as well go ahead and do this. My name is Deron Pinchot, DJ to my friends, I've got a 1988 4x4 DX standard cab. I know how much you guys like pictures, so here are a few. (click them to enlarge)

    When we got my truck in 2005 please ignore me in it, this was Halloween.

    Rear Shot; please note that the eye sores (tool box and tow hitch) are no longer on it.

    Early last year. (had an accident in 07:cry:, no body color bumper and valances)

    D*** addicting.:lol: Yeah, I was planning a humorous title for whenever I did it. Had to transfer my old camera's pix from dad's computer to mine, that's why it took so long.

    I dont even know where I found the image, but I had a Hot Wheels that looked like it when I was a little guy. Gotta love the Baja class 7 Toyotas. Was wanting to get an extra cab too later and make a replica, but that would be kinda pointless. Nice paint!

    Maybe a little later... flat broke. I want to put 16" on it with bigger and wider tires, but I need to think before I screw around with something, especially knowing that I would have to re-gear the differentials (rear at least).

    I really want this bumper (yes, BTTF truck)

    and a light bar like this

    Just have to get a replacement job and I'll get to them. Whenever I do, I'll try to start a build up thread.

    Okay, it's very sad, in a little over a month, I made it to addict. This website is like my own personal brand of heroin. Riddiculous.:lol:

    Its 1,000 for toyotaholic! I was at about 1157 or so when Jeff made me a Mod, seems like a buttload of posts, but being here and participating with active and smart toyotaholics is the reward for me. Congrats for being so addicted to our site and hope to hear alote more from you and everyones else as the days roll on. FYI, I cant remember the list, seems like I jumped up so fast that every other month I had a new title. . .
