Looks like a pretty clean truck but I don't know what a 18 y/o HI truck should look like. If it were me I'd take the body lift of or go with a 1" and ditch the what look to be 10" wide rims and go with a 35 or 36 on 15x8's and 5.29 gears. But don't quote me on the 5.29s

Haha definately a Hawaii truck, rediculous lift...There have been a bunch of "bro" yotas posted on this site from Hawaii, it looks like it'd be a nice truck but definatey don't need the body lift!!

truck looks okay...will look even better with that body lift outta there. just go test drive it real good, and go from there...and by the way, those are Pro Comp XTerrians, not Baja Claws...2 totally different companies there....

Missing the lower toe kicks
No carpet
Horn button missing
That rear drive shaft looks like someone put it in backwards
Engine compartment painted black
Wrong front clip (wrecked?)
The welds on the front cross member look weak
Body lift

While some of these are not big issues, it can say a lot if it?s a personal daily driver as this truck is not really a purpose built trial rig given the crappy selection of parts.
