Those TRD rims look pretty slick! Did you resolve the issue not being able to fit them over the front hubs?

 

[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]@ToyoToler I haven't had a few minutes to update the thread but I did get the TRD rims to fit. I just had to trim down the lip were the TRD center cap hooks on. By no means would I recommend taking material off of a rim to make it fit but this had zero structural reinforcement. The rims fit absolutely perfect now, I do have to do a bit of trimming in the spots that the tire rubs. Here are some pictures

 

Awesome! Looks like it's really starting to come together!

 

Ok so it's a rainy day down here in SoCal so I figured I'd update the thread. I have pretty much got everything dialed on the 4R and have been driving it around town and enjoying it. I still need to do a few things here and there like trim the fenders a bit more and some other odd ball stuff before I take her out for a shake down run. Here are some pictures of how she sits currently.

 

Looks way better!! Nice job.. now all you need is a new hood

 

Looks Great Man!,

I may have seen this one over at Bolsa? Did you get the parts from LKQ or one of the mini truck yards? I don't recall seeing a 1st gen at either LKQ and I've been many times

I'm putting my 2nd gen up for sale here shortly, Just did a full 3.0 rebuild last year and new heads and cams a few months ago, I have some 3.0 spares laying around (gasket sets, distributor, starter, etc) I'll shoot you a pm once i get her sold and see if you want any parts donations
