Very nice!! Lookin' clean and shiny.

Why is your front valence off?

Love the no Running boards w/ the real SR5 trim mud flaps. looks great. The OME's give it a nice stance. What's your next mod?

Love the color Birdman! It looks really nice with the subtle hint of the green
I think kford hits it best - the front valence is the first thing you notice (or the absence of it). Any plans on replacing the bumper or is that pretty much the way you plan on keeping it?

I've always liked the green 3rd gens! That looks real good!

Looking nice!! I always said, if I ever sell mine and try to get another one, it will probably be that green color; I love it as much as my black, and that's hard for me to say.

I took off the valance after a little incident with the side of the garage. It's kind of embarassing but it was my fault. In the picture just behind my truck is an area where I used to park. It's on a sliight incline. One day I went to roll it back down in front of the garage to do some work. I hopped in sorta halfway, let off the E brake, and when I hit the brake, it went to the floor. To the left of the picture and directly in front of me was a 6ft drop off. WEll, it was the 6ft drop off or the side of the garage so I choose the garage and steered the $Runner into the side of it. A later test showed the braked to be working just fine. I believe what happened was....since I was sitting in the $Runner kinda sideways, I actually hit the clutch instead of the brake!!

Cue laughter...

Oh yeah, the TJM T-15 has already been ordered but has yet to show.......

*psssssssst, Birdman!*

What you really meant to say was that you damaged it by running your rig into an out of control ricer that was headed towards a school yard of kids, right?
Or maybe it's a practical mod to increase your angle of approach?

Yeah, it must be one of those two

Keep your head up kford. I didn't think I would even get a lift, and look at my truck now... All in good time my friend, all in good time. This forum makes things happen that you'd never expect. I would not have half the things for my truck if it wasn't for Yotatech. Keep an eye on the classifieds and wait for good deals. Don't tell anyone but... I actually had lowering springs in my garage til I found this place. :pat:



back on topic, Your truck is looking good man! I kinda like the vallance, though you can't really tell from that angle. You were just planning ahead on what the tjm is going to look like... yeah... thats it.
