Been meaning to up load some pictures for a while, I don't have any build photos because I haven't done all that much to it, and probably wont be doing much more either, always was going to be a few subtle mods and a freshen up,
so as it stands its a 2.5d geared for carrying a ton of sand so its horribly slow to drive, if I plan on keeping for a few years (which I never do) a new motor would definitely be on the cards.
So i've lowered the front approx 7.5" and the back has a set of 3" blocks and one leaf pulled, but its not low enough, so i'm going to pull another leaf, (there are a 5 leaves plus 2 overloads) and then reprofile the springs flatter, with a set of air adjustable shocks.
I've chucked some GMC yukon rims on, which weren't to difficult just spacers and specific nuts.
re carpeted the inside, retrimmed the dash, doorcards, headliner, center console, everything, in black and white hounds tooth and black
smoothed the cargo rails off, replaced and tinted the rear window, and chopped off the "farmer bar" smoothed various bits off the back, and fitted a set of warrior rear lights.
And then painted it. Plan is to paint below the swage line a deep purple. lower the back, repaint the bed, and sort out my wrinkly tailgate. new wing mirrors, some clear indicators, don't know whether to try fitting a hilux surf front bumper, seen it done on the older shape, looked mint, don't know if it would suit this,
anyway, here it was moving my other ride.
I like it anyway, people always asking me if its an import, (which was kinda the idea)
