hey chris, did you like the pics i emailed you?

Still trying to get pics to put on here... i think i need to post them on photobucket or something.

I like the power of the 3rz when compared to the 22re... The 22re screams and struggles to do 70 mph, and the 3rz just hums along up to 85! Also, i have a bit over a quarter of a tank left and ive gone 280 miles! In my '90 22re truck, i got about 15-17 mpg with stock tires. I LOVE IT!

I thought they were pics of a truck that looked just like it and not the real truck.
Oh well hold on.

Well, before I do anything to a vehicle, I like to run it by Chris. He is the man (with a badass '85), you know.

Yep, I want to de-chrome the fenders, and I think I will take out the plastic bedliner. I hate the thing. Very ugly. Plus, a good wash/wax wouldn't hurt her either. She's looking a bit dull.

I also want to purchase and install a 2" BL from 4Crawler. And I think it has AALs in the rear, because between the axle and the big leaf, there is this short, thick (about 1"), upside-down spring, looking like it serves no purpose. Hmmm...
