thanks, I appreciate it. No updates. The truck has been exiled out to my parent's house for a few weeks while I work on some home improvement stuff

OK CHef-here are some daylight pics for you.
one thing that I really like about this thing is the amount of room in the rear seat, rear doors open a full 90 degrees..easy access:

i think I am gonna pull the lights up front and sell them dirt cheap. I have an extra set of HID's I was going to put on the Trekker but I think they will find their way onto the front of this thing...

Do you have a link to the add? I would like to forward it to TrekkerPaul. He has been kind of developing a history of the Trekker, TrailBlazers and the other toyota conversions.
Sorry you missed out on it..

Been looking through your thread. How is the krylon paint job holding up with the truck staying outside? I'm thinking of rattle canning mine soon just not digging the white.
