my truck and my buddies 01 long bed cummins. its gotta 5 inch lift and a whole buncha other stuff done to it..but my firestones make the 33" bfg all terrains look weakk!

 

Thanks, Chris, Your ride is looking good, btw....

It's been a great truck(FOR 8 YEARS and 160k MILES!), as all 4 of the other Yota's I've had have been. Thankfully, I'm at a spot in life(as they say, hahaha) where I can just work on one and keep it. Sold one of them to pay for college in 97, another was stolen in 95 and I couldn't afford to build back all the things that were raped from it, lol.... Another was totaled in a wreck that almost took my life 3 times in the ER and ICU(never got it back, as they wanted hundreds of dollars for the time it was in the yard while I was in a coma! haha). And, yet another, well, sold just to be able to pay for rent for a few months, while out of work.

When you FINALLY get the gremlins out(PLEASE LORD, LET THEM MOSTLY BE GONE??? HAHAHA), they're really, INCREDIBLY reliable and fun to drive. They do, literally, GROW ON YA!(I've heard this about building and driving VW Classics, haha). Same thing with all the Hot Rods I've built, restored and then sold.....Except...they, mostly, got around 8MPG, MAX! hahaha.

Thanks to Yotatech, man, seriously.... I would never have known about the 261 CAM, LCE headers, 22r-head work, some of the suspension stuff I'm learning, Zuk Coils, nor most importantly, HOW TO FIX HALF OF THIS STUFF! LOL. It's become a GREAT hobby(and necessary skill to SAVE LOTS OF MONEY, DOING IT MYSELF!LOL). But; Taking the trips, and even daily stints out to the Angeles Crest Forest for some quick trail cruising and creek splashing with my kids or my grandson...hitting the coast for the surf and turf with the top off, etc.,......THAT'S what it's all about, eh?

 

Here's a pic of me and my baby

 

 

Yay new basket and brush guard!

 

man your right those look way bigger lol like almost a 35" looking i think im going to buy those for my 4runner then when i do 3" sas they wont look too small

Do you know the back spacing and width or your rims? thanks dude and post more pics if you want lmao

 

hey swimmer nice finds i would just say take the light cover parts off and just leave the middle part like a cop push bar

 

Thanks! I was thinking about it...

 

yeah like keep it if you like it but i just think they look so much better without the guards
the 4runner im buying has one with it and i think im going to just use it as a starting point for a full bumper

 

yeah i think i may actually take it off if its not too hard. Which i think its only like 2 bolts.

 

yeah just unbolt it and see if you like it better lol

 

Ask and ye shall receive!


Looks WAYYY better!



Just call me officer!

 

hahaha told yah lol now just get some lights and air horns and your set

 

I have lights look! lol but i need some for my new rack on top!

 

haha yeah but you need more lol i have some sick 80's lights like what you have only they are orange haha im going to put them on the 4runner front bumper

 

Check out napa if you want some CHEAP lights. The one by my house was selling the one that look like traiggear rock lights for like 10-15 bucks.

 

Let me see a pic of those!

Hmm i'll have to check them out. I need to look up the Triaggear Rock lights to see what they look like lol.
