Nuthin but blue that i see(56k No)

So after all season long of me not pampering me truck i finally got decided to buffing my truck and clean her all up again. She had alot of swirl marks from the bad rains storms and the car wash at my work. And i decide to take some more pictures to see how well it came out. I was really suprise on how shiney and sparkling it looks in the sun! Take a look n tell what you guys think????????

Your truck looks nice.

My goal is to get some shine out of my truck's original paint job after I wash off this winter's worth of salt and get rid of the adhesive remnants (side graphics and "_oyo_a" on the tailgate).

I despise lowered trucks of any kind but yours is definitely a clean ride & nothing to be ashamed of if you're into that type of thing

I like 2wd lowered trucks and 4wd lifted trucks! So yours is tops!

Very very clean and great wheel & tire combo.

I didn't realize the 2wd truck was offered with 3vze. Interesting.

That makes me miss my 89 pick up. Mine wasnt nearly as nice looking, but i loved it. I do love my 4runner, but its not the same. Nice truck, very clean. I like the chrome valance, I've never seen one before.

alright,

I'll clean mine up already and take some pics.

Then I'll do a video for you too

Dang Shoes, You're making this too hard on me.

But like I've said before, You've got an awesome looking truck there.

I think the truck looks great. The only things I would change if it were my truck are the tail lights (not my personal style) and I would definately go with some 4WD fenders, I think it really makes 2WD trucks look a lot better. Maybe some wheels with some more dish to them but man, that thing is clean. My brother just picked up a '92 2WD standard cab in not nearly as good shape as yours but plans to go with more of a prerunner style.

Nice. Now I'll have to work on a Yotatech decal for the 2 wheelers. Maybe base it on your pics.

you should try out the 4wd front fenders and some wheel spacers, that would look damn good. (its a re-accuring mod now-a-days on nissan hard bodys but have not seen it on a yota yet) i think you should hit up LC also. maybe a SC 22re!!!!! I love it. And of coarse a YOTATECH decal.

shoes, I always liked your truck. If I were to do a 2wd, it would be damn similar to yours.

and I've heard from more than one person that the 3VZE in a 2wd configuration is actually pretty fast...

Yea i would do that if i had a 22re, but i think i would go with the approch targetnut is going....... Yea i just want to keep my truck still lookin original and different at the same time.

Bigtruckwheels- Yea shes not the fastest but still pretty fast for the supposely 3.slow. Weight makes a big difference with the 3vze. but i cant wait to start modifyin the motor!

Yeah, Shoes and Targetnut own up this forum with them pretty pickups. Now you make my want to wax mine and take pics. My paint is really shiney, but my white is "off-white" so whenever I park next to a nice clean white car, mine doesn't look soo good anymore haha...

Nice looking truck!!!

Looks like Folsom is filling up too.(that is folsom lake in the background, right?)

I waxed my 4Runner a few weeks ago, and dressed the tires, and WOW, what a difference. Except, now the wax is starting to get white where the paint is not so great.

Also, just a little tip for everyone, when you wash your rig, spray out the fenders(which is always good to do), and scrub it with a scrub brush. Then wait for it to dry, and spray some tire dressing in there. It makes your frame, and suspension components look new, and the slick look.
