Poor College Boy's 92 Truck - Page 3

mrtejman · 02-27-2008, 01:21 PM

Nice truck, I had a 1990 with the same lightbar as the '91 but I sold it for an '04 Tacoma.
I miss my old truck they are unstoppable.

cool, thanks for the info, a couple more questions:

How was the erg crap (on pass header) done? does it connect like stock? or do you have to cut it like with the downey and others? I am pretty sure that the NWOR site says that "they hook right up" but again I guess I am skeptic,

BTW, I think you should just black out everything on your truck, the front bumper, step bars, windshield trim, everything even the wheels, would look sick, I plan to do the same to mine, I think black and grey looks almost as good as all black

hooks right up man, no additional modification is necessary. i did everything that NWOR said exactly. and yeah i have thought about blacking everything out but im not sure. i think the little bit of chrome on there sets it off. but i have thought about it.

looks good man! you ever think about losing the camper top?

RESmith711 · 04-30-2008, 11:36 AM

yeah man i have thought about it. im keeping it though because i have all my hunting and fishing equipment in it. i am also about to get load bars and a roof rack to mount on the shell. i love my camper shell!

joshuapc · 04-30-2008, 12:34 PM

haha i blacked out my side lights like that!

Jchase1988 · 04-30-2008, 05:11 PM

I have to say i like both of the trucks the 91 std cab and 92 xtra cab , although i have to say im not a fan of the camper things.

Heres some pics of my truck before i hit a tree out in the sand dunes which i have yet to fix the body work and in the process of getting another rear bumper. I got 33x12.5 bfg mudders on in this pic. How do you like your headers? i got a sec of aftermarket ones but the guy didnt know what they were when i bought the truck from him. Or the brand of Lift kit used. ;p
Anyway heres some pics , more will come in a few months after i do some major upgrades.

94Runner4x4 · 04-30-2008, 05:20 PM

wow! jcahse nice lookin truck! I really like that yellow! and the chrome down the sides!

RESmith711 · 07-18-2008, 08:10 AM

Ultramag · 07-18-2008, 08:27 AM

You should submit some of these to our calendar contest... that one peeking out from the wood pile looks very nice I like the effects you added... B&W always rocks

RESmith711 · 04-14-2009, 08:32 AM

Here is my new Marlin Crawler rear bumper. I had my friend cut and weld the brackets to become straight to compensate for the 3 inch body lift. I think it turned out well.

89whitetoyota · 04-14-2009, 09:56 AM

Are you sure you are a "poor" college boy? By the mods on that truck and the house it sits in front of you look like you's hustlin'. Nice camper and roof rack I want to do the same thing.

Well when I started this thread (about a year and a half ago) i was poor lol. I was making min wage at the local car wash. Now I work at Lowes and make a lot more than I did at the car wash. I can afford these mods because I have no bills (I live with my parents, which is their house in the background). They pay for my college but I have paid for all the truck mods with my hard work and savings.

I make 45k with two kids and a huge mortage and i still cant get my truck to look as good as that. I think like I have a 4 bedroom house on a half acre but I still wish my rig was boss dog, oh well. Thats what you get in this economy. Good job broski, its a great looking piece. I just got an axle from this cat in KY for 30 bucks, so hopefully if i can keep the kids sick for a couple weeks i can dedicate that "daycare" money to building this SAS.

xzyragon · 04-14-2009, 08:55 PM

thank god you got a new rear bumper... i was definitely not a fan of the first one

do you get any wind noise with that rack on the interstate? my brother had a similar rack on his land rover and it sounded like you were in a helicopter.

Silas · 04-16-2009, 09:28 PM
