New Color, Flat Black!

I painted my frame black, and repainted the truck with flat black with A gallon of farm implement enamell, Used half a gallon that cost me about 25$ WAY better then the rattle can I used the first time. I'm gonna herculine my bed sometime in the next month, get my windows tinted, and put my stereo amp in.. I'm planning on getting some balljoint spacers, longer shackles, and 35X12.5X15 BFG M/T's.. The 33's aren't satisfying enough, but before I do ANY of that I'm gonna regear, it ain't too bad with the 33's but, I have a feeling with 35's its gonna be a nightmare around town. I really hope I don't detonate my front diff with those tires though









Heres a little poser IFS flex for you guys... I need a SFA..



Whatcha think?

looks nice, but you need to get you some black wheels to match the rest

I think the white wagon wheels give it an old school look, Everyones got black wagon wheels, or the D-Window Cragars around here. I wouldn't reccomend spray painting a vehicle.. IF you have access to any air comressor or a spray gun do it that way FTW.. I rattle canned it, and it looked okay, just kinda blotchy, but I bet if you got 15 cans of that walmart flat black it would be the same as my paintjob, just not as durable, cause for ten bucks more you could get a gallon of industrial enamel and that stuff is tough shiat.

35's without gears do SUCK trust me I did it for 3 weeks before re gearing and I would highly recommend re gearing and then pinch weld trimming for the 35's.

Pinch weld has already been "Caressed" I had the truck on 35's a couple weeks ago for fun and it only rubbed at full compression and full lock. With my tires right now I have absolutely NO rubbing under any circumstances anywhere. The key is 3.75" BS and 15x8" rims.

35s on stock gearing? could it go up a hill in any gear but 1-2?

I couldent imagine how sheety that would be especially for a 22re. I guess you would actually have to use the clutch.............

Truck looks nice! im a fan of flat black. however where you gonna fit speakers? one of my biggest pain in the asses was putting some twelves behind the seats everyday I wanna take these dumb things out then I think wow it would suck to have no loud music.

I made boxes to fit behind the seat with very little room left over. Lets face it toyotas are the best trucks around not because of there roomy interiors.

I have some Alpine 4" Rounds in my dash, a 55X4 Sony Xplod Head Unit, 150 Watt Sparkomatic Amp, & two generic 6x9 boxes with Sony Xplod's in those, it hits pretty hard, but I would like to replace all my speakers with new alpines, the ones in my dash are freakin old.

I see no meats on your lifted runner! JK Yeah whoever said IFS can flex, is.. Well I won't say it here.. Its still wheelable, but it a SFA would make picking lines oh so much easier.
