looks good man, is that nightshade? you should also do your parking light, 3rd brale light, and turn signals. it should look as good as the tails

 

yep its night shade and i might do all that but im thinkin of making the corners clear along with the bumpers

 

oh i gotcha man. hows the exhaust coming along?

 

the exhaust is coming very soon, i made this mesh grille today

 

Not bad kid. Just remember to take your time & research b4 u make costly mistakes. Keep up the good work everyong starts modding sooner or later.

 

i always look up things before i try them lol, i love this site

 

the only bad thing about this site, it tends to make you want to do things that aren't in your original plans. I started with a head gasket replace, and now i'm looking for a 3.4L to swap out. Dang Yotatech.

 

i know the feeling...went on one wheeling run in my Tacoma, the following week I had bought a dedicated wheeling truck

 

any updates man

 

sorry about the long wait everyone my moms been in the hospital and i havent been able to order the muffler, one of my friends , my best friend since we were infants, ordered it for me today and so im gonna pick it up from him after school one day. The muffler i chose was....... CHERRY BOMB EXTREME! costing only 55 smackaroons lol and free shipping it should be here sometime towards the end of this coming week In the meantime i still need to buy the adapters and an exhaust tip, which will be a slanted tip

 

LMBO hahahaha

 

good choice of muffler man!!! your gonna love it. post sound clips if you can.

 

this I can do, yesterday i cleaned the valve cover and painted the letters on the intake manifold i'll post some pictures later

 

Welcome to the life of constantly modding the toyoter u own... its amazing how satisfying it is isnt it.. and yes damn Yota Tech started out with a nicer 85 4runner slightly modded out, and bam six months later 14 in bob and dovetail, and and 86 rear and soon to be marlin suspension and dual cased, on 37 or 38s... damn yotatech hahahaha lol

 

Hey steeze, remember that pretty much all of us started out doing little stuff like you are now, don't sell your self short on what you can accomplish, i'm doing an engine swap with about $300 worth of tools. It's not going to be long before you get that itch to really modify something serious. A young man such as your self has the ability to do alot once you get alittle know how from a few thousand of your closest yotatech buddies. and we are just like any other fella you know, we will talk you into things that you didn't think you could or wanted to do. and yes, you will spend more money than you want to, and probably have, but you will have the nicest yota in your neck of the woods. It does my heart good to see a guy like your self learning the old fashion way. by getting your hands dirty. not enough of the younger generation doing things themselves. Keep up the great work and if you need any advice that I can help with please feel free to hit me up, I'll help you and any way I can.

 

Good luck kid...Lookin good so far!!!

 

thanks yotafella, i love workin on the truck and if i need any help i'll ask. I FINALLY GOT THE CHERRY BOMB AND PUT HER ON lol, it sounds okay for now but still needs to be broken in and i need to do some other exhaust mods to get it sounding the way i want. i also painted the valve cover and i'll post some pics later of it all

 

hey man, glad to hear about the exhaust. i think if you put a magnaflow high flow cat on it you will love the sound. you should also look into getting the same size pipe welded through out the whole system. lol what inlet/outlet cherry bomb you get

 

i got a center 2.5 id inlet and center 2.5 id outlet

 

oh ya get the magnaflow cat man,its a world of difference. also give the muffler bout a month to break in. mine sounded great at first but now it sounds amazing imo. lol
