    Hi All,

    Fairly new to the forum, but I always wanted to tinker with my truck. I have a hand-me-down '91 XCab which was bought brand new by my dad back in the day. Currently 200k+ miles and still runs like a champ with little maintenance. It has been neglected for some time, but I plan to address the whole car as I want to do a mild resto-mod with a build thread...

    I've already learned tons by just searching and lurking. Looking forward to finding more useful info on here. Anyways, here's my starting canvas. TIA! 20160826_185141.jpg

    Thanks for the warm welcome. Yep, I'm leaning towards the full Belltech lowering kit w/ Shocks, 2" spindles, 3" blocks to close the wheel gap, nothing crazy.

    As for final goals, I want to find a happy medium between function + form. I like the clean look, Sorta like this guy... IMG_7973.JPG

    If you do the build start a thread! I was looking at doing the same but have no money to spend on luxuries at the moment.. Would be cool to see your process.

    I started a build thread not too long ago, but my progress will be slow... Also, not planning on doing anything extreme with the build. http://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/91-xcab-resto-mod.22691/
