The pic of him driving through the water is DANGEROUS for that tall ass truck. One little pot hole that he doesn't see and he is toast.

He can raise and lower it. Most of the pics show it at its highest because he thinks it's cool, but look at the last pic on page two. Personally, that's how I'd keep it most of the time.

Um, yeah...

Gotta love the lavender, white, and chrome theme goin' on. There's a truck stuck in the '80s for sure. I mean it would be one thing if he kept the look clean and simple to preserve it's old school originality, but with the graphics, color scheme, and excessively overdone modifications, it just brings on nausea. Know when to say "enough already"... Sorry.

Funny how you know he is got to be so proud of that truck, and pretty much everyone else, all of us, anyway, the toyota boys, know that its just....not good...at all.

"He concludes, 'I only have $17,000 invested in it. It's cheap if you build them yourself and don't pay someone for labor."

WOW! Only $17K!!! The things I could do to my 4runner w/ 17 grand!
I bet I could put like 30 chrome shocks on it.

I wonder if he has taken it over any sweet jumps>?
