this is gunna be the buildup of my 1995 toyota hilux. i ahve some pictuers of when i first got it with tis fugly body lift and mis matched exterior then when it reached a point in its life were it was sexy then a big mistaked happened cahnging everything then where it sits today.
how it was when i got it.


kinda Fugly i know but then i started on body work;



this is when i thought i was done




more pictures to come of the big surprise.

 

here are teh pictures of the big surprise...4days after the paint was fully cured and everything was back on there.....you can imagine how bumed out i was after this happened.






....man those are some sad pictures...makes me sick but you live and learn! it sat like that for a month..i was too scared to drive and i was kinda sad about my truck but even though my parents tried to sale it i told them i wouldnt want any car besides my truck. so me and pops one day just strapped it to a tree and pulled the crap out of the inner fender and welded upa a new core support i got a new grill but havnt installed it. im waiting to get a new hood so i can paint that and the new fender and repaint the passenger door.
and here it is as it sits right now with the new wheels i ahve aquired. i only have rears on at teh moment becasue my front spacer isnt here yet. i plan to dro it 2/3 and leave it there until i can get anotehr truck.




i think the truck looks good with these 350z wheels just the color...i dunno it doesnt seem to go with it. i was thinking of getting them powder coated dark bronze or something along those lines. not sure waht do you guys think would look good on my green truck?

 

already lookin good. jus gotta get rid of that camper lol

 

i dunno man a lot of people tell me to take it off but i think it looks "diffrent" with it. i will see when i do the drop. plus it comes in handy...it makes a nice tent when me and the misses are out camping! hehehe

 

yea well my truck is my baby, im 18 so i go for wuts flashy, ive seen some yotas that w/ it and they look clean but im personally not for it but everyone has their own opinion and their trucks express that lol

 

dont worry dude im only 19 and i want a spiffy car as well! especially when the friends have mustangs,raced out hatches and g35's...sucks but im old school! i might get a tonnue (sp?) later on thoguh so i might get rid of it. and your truck is looking good man! you should put up bigger pics of it. like the theme you are going with. i have a big punisher skull on my truck on the back window! SKULLS ROCK!

 

I'm only 16, i'm rocking a stock pickup with steelies and I just got home. I roll around with a 1991 GTi, 3 Subaru's, and 3 RSX's tonight! Also include a gold 350Z sittin on wide Gram Lights!

 

i think its spelled teaneau or somethin like that but yea my boy has a chromed out 08 magnum, hes in a car club so im like damn. i jus got the 4runner front end but idk how to cut the core support so the headlights fit so im waiting to get it on before i get my updated pics up. as for my skulls, im gonna paint my truck dark red n on the pillars im gonna have skulls airbrushed and on the dash and future fiberglassed door panels lol

 

dam the truck is gunna look sick genral626! i need a new das as well. i broke mine in the accident.
CinNAMmon i can see where your coming from. when we go to parties they are like WTF is that truck doing with those nice cars?!?! but theres a lot of people that love minis! some times i steal the show away from the "other" cars.lol. also nice pics dude! i love that Z you roll with its clean reminds me of my cuzins Z. clean and classy.

 

Nam, u had to show me up huh? im still learning bout cars n trucks as i go. i kno more about dirtbikes. but TRD im jus doin as much as my fund allow me to do, eventually shell b done. eventually lol

 

Welcome first off. Hey guys take it from me, i was in the same boat as u when i was that old, im only 23 now but it wasnt to long ago. I hated when people talked sh!t about my truck, but i kept driving it becuase i like being different. It takes time to get ur truck the way u want it. Just plan out everything and take it one step at a time. If u got a question just hope on here and im sure someone has the answer. Keep up the good work guys!

 

yeah i hate when people talk about my truck...but for its age its cleaner than most ricer cars i have seen and with 85xxx mile on it originally its a great car.

 

looking good & keep the shell...has the old school look with it on!!

 

Hey bro. Sorry about what happened to the truck. Bad Kharma. Just when you think everything is going your way, bam, something else hits you... or sometimes you hit it (that reference was me two years ago). The 350 rims go great with that, so I wouldn't change them, the shell, I personally am not to fond of them, but whatever makes you happy is what you should do. That's what I'm going to do with my truck, so the same rules apply to us all.

And I agree, body lifts are disgusting!

 

damn.... bunch of young guys on here! i'm 23 as well, got my 66 mustang when i was 15, 64 impala at 17, 04 mustang at 18, 95 s-10 at 20, 86 yota at 21, 79 yota at 22, 88 yota at 23. notice a trend going on? if the right yota came along the 66 stang would be gone in a heart beat. its cool, but ever since it was broken into it doesn't have the feel it used to.

 

Yeah, you young whipper snappers! I fell old next you guys, & I'm only 32. Think how TRUCK ACTION feels.

 

man i wish my grandpas would roll in a mini. they both drive dually dodges with cummins diesels.

 

burnzya.. please tell me u still have that 64! lol even tho im 18, i feel younger cuz ive barely been messin with vehicles for a year... if even that. its a passion for me now tho.

nvrenuf, dont worry old guys r cool, if u lived down in so cal id b around all the time and b askin for ur help lol.

truck action andpatriot pop both gotta feel old lol

 

yeah i still have it. i've tried several times to get rid of it but the wife won't allow it. she loves the car.

 

if i had the money i wuld buy it off of u in a heartbeat! thats one of my dream cars! lol
