I'm in the same boat as you are. I Hate the chrome on these toyotas, they make it look tacky and a little cheap. Thats just my opinion though.
I've been thinking about painting the chrome areas myself. Did you just paint over the chrome? or did you have to take it off somehow. Spray paint or some kind of automotive body paint?

BTW your truck looks pretty sweet. Im not digging the 9.50" though. 10.5" would have made it a little more aggressive, but its your rig..not mine.

 

Its just T-bars in the front and a 1.5" lift shackle in the rear. Here's a pic or 2 of how it looked like a year or so ago with 32's. I'll post some more updated ones too if you'd like, just gotta upload them.

 

I took it all off and sanded it and then just painted it with cheap .96 walmart paint and its held up for a couple months so its doin good

 

that is a great looking truck...and updated pics would be nice Im curious to see how its changed

 

Sounds good, I'll get them up for you maybe tomorrow.

 

ok sounds good I cant wait to see

 

hey 4x4yota what happened to your 82? got pickies?

 

your the first to ever ask that

well she got hit really bad in the front end and totaled and I rebuilt her and she got stolen

 

By request from original poster (4x4Yota) some updated shots. Basically the same minus some stuff and more stock looking: Next up, herculine the rockers, remove tailgate lettering, try to pop out a few dents, and reinstall the rear bumper until I get the loot for a Marlin Crawler one. Maybe get some sliders too. Oh, and I have a new set of Hella 500 fogs I'll get around to installing sometime this week.







I'd like to see some better shots of your truck too, like maybe the whole thing from a few angles like I did, I'm still trying to grasp how incredibly tall and narrow those tires are.

 

thanks BAZ that is a great looking truck

 

very purty!

 

cool truck wierd sized tires but they look fine

 

Thanks yo. Now lets see some better shots of yours.

 

ok sounds good Ill go take some pics now and upload them Ill have them up as soon as posible

 

if you want to do it right mite think of just adding a small spacer suspension lift which only run about $400 hundred or less for your truck 2-3 hour install for a ameture no exessive body flex and less work less noise and better ground clearence

 

As in what, Ball Joint spacers? Coil spacers are not an option for this truck since its T-bars up front and Leafs in the rear. Not sure if thats what you were referring to or maybe a body lift. I'm assuming you're not talking about a body lift since you said "small spacer suspension lift".

 

here you go



added a tool box and my highlift

 

Nice dude, now get to work and start murdering it out, rattle can style. I'm not sure how good it would look on my truck so I'll let you be the guinea pig.

 

Rattle can "murder" paint jobs can be done!
Check my sig line.

Flat black is pretty much idiot proof, I love it!

 

Your truck looks awesome with the pizza cutters. I've heard rumor that BFG is going to discontinue that size AT, which is a real shame. I'd be real happy with a set of those.
