The best thing I have ever done to my Toyota was rescue it from that car lot.

It has been great to me ever since

My 3 main mods so far have been great--

1. install Downey HD springs in back with new shocks
2. Detroit Soft Locker in rear-end
3. Rock sliders (just added)

Bought an '01 brand new and put an MP3 player deck in (JVC-KDSH99) within 2 months and have never looked back. It has been the focal point of the truck to everyone who gets in. There is something about playing 200+ songs per cd while displaying the song/artist. Plus its silver like the truck.
I have just (in like the last 2 weeks) stumbled upon modding runners. I have since then gotten clear corners and bumpers and am awaiting super whites for my regular lights. I also just ordered the interior bike rack that I have always been looking for and found thanks to this board. I have been modding pc's for quite sometime now and now I am stepping up to a much bigger toy (no pun intended) to play with. Thanks all.

De-ricing it from the stickers it had.
It had this really gay design on the side. Looked like a freakin cowboy hill-billy truck.

edit: And the TRD/chinese ones I put on.

You must have really liked it to post it twice...

You can delete your post with the button in the upper right of the "edit/delete" post page.
