Poor College Boy's 92 Truck

RESmith711 · 02-04-2008, 05:04 PM

Hello, this is my thread for my truck. It is a black extracab 1992 pickup with lund camper shell. It is a 3.0 5 speed V6. I have installed a 3" performance acc. body lift. I have 15x10 Dick Cepek wheels wrapped around a set of 33x12.5 definity dakotas. I have northwest offroad high flow headers, cat, and muffler. I have also installed a K&N filtercharger system and a heavy duty clutch. I bought this truck from my dad a couple of years ago. He installed all the "motor" mods himself and I have have done all the lifts, tires, etc.

I would love to make this thing way bigger with a def SAS, but i am in college and making this truck any larger would be completely impractical. It is my daily driver. BUT when its all said and done and college is over and i have a real job lol this thing will be a beast.

I am planning on doing a few more minor things to my ride, like a heavy duty bumper and a roof rack. If anyone has any info on roof racks on a camper shell, please feel free to post. Any posts or comments are completely welcome! Enjoy!

welcome to yotatech. thats a clean lookin 92. what kind of wheeling do you primarily do.

gte718p · 02-04-2008, 09:14 PM

I see a huge problem with it. Needs to be fixed immediately. It has a Georgia plate on the front.

nix4x4 · 02-04-2008, 09:23 PM

From one black 92 to another, that rig looks awesome

AxleIke · 02-04-2008, 09:24 PM

hey guys, thanks for all the comments on my truck. to 88wildrunner i am a mild offroader, just enough to have fun without completely tearing up my stuff. it is my daily driver so i dont give it too much abuse lol. mostly hunting trails, ruts, and some mud. (but not the deep stuff lol) before this truck i had 91 on 33's that i ran off in a mudhole WAY deeper than i thought and it was up to the doors. but i made it out with no troubles.

That '92 is BEAUTIFUL!

Greg_Canada · 02-05-2008, 07:05 AM

Sweet truck dude.
I would throw on marlincrawler F+R bumpers and sliders.

nate V · 02-05-2008, 11:33 AM

sweet rig like it alot

Elton · 02-05-2008, 11:36 AM

looks good but that trailer hitch needs to come up atleast 2 feet

flatland4runner · 02-05-2008, 11:52 AM

I've always loved the look of the 15x10 rims with just a bit of lift...just a great stance to the vehicle. Makes me want to sandblast and paint my 15x10 steelies instead of selling em. Great lookin truck man

b.miller123 · 02-05-2008, 11:53 AM

Nice truck, sometimes I wish mine was black, sometimes I'm glad it isn't,

What's with the front corner lights? did you just paint the reflectors with tint or something? It looks like you used the spray tint on the tails, but I can't tell up front?

yotasavg · 02-05-2008, 11:58 AM

where'd you get that hood?

**aviator** · 02-05-2008, 11:58 AM

very nice looking truck there... how is your fuel mileage with the 15x10s?
cool dad too to sell it to you...

eightnine · 02-05-2008, 12:45 PM

Nice truck man.. i know how you feel being a poor college kid lol

what school do you go to in GA, assuming you live in GA?

94Runner4x4 · 02-05-2008, 03:45 PM

o and btw, nice rig, i love that style!

bobs01sr5 · 02-05-2008, 03:51 PM

Very nice truck indeed !
Here in NH or MA you cannot (or not suppose to) have your tires stick out beyond your fenders...you know why ?
Because it's too cool !!!
Again nice truck very sharp!

RESmith711 · 02-05-2008, 07:04 PM

the tail lights and front corner markers were done with spray paint, i just painted the front corner lights WAY to thick lol (i plan on redoing it sometime). it can be easily done...just make sure to get paint that sprays a flat line and not a circle. just do a few coats and you will still be able the see the actual lights fine. oh yeah and lightly sand them before you paint.

i purchased the hood scoop from summitracing.com, when i get some extra cash im going to get it molded to the hood and repainted.

as far as the mpg? im not sure? i get about 220 miles on a full tank of gas, but i will find out the actual number and post it.

...and im actually born and raised and attend school in Alabama. when i was in about 4th grade i bought a georgia bulldogs poster at the bookfair cause i thought it looked cool, and ive been a dog fan ever since lol.

THANKS for ALL the comments guys
