poppyseed's stock to slammed :)

So i figured I would post a few pics before and after all the work ive been putting into it. First are a few from when i got it.

 

Next stop was some painted steelies


Then it was time for a home made intake (which is also seen above but i had no other pics lol)

 

finally it was time for some wax/hids/and yellow fogs

 

Welcome to the forum..... Nice truck! I think the mini's look better lowered!

Is that the same truck that's in your signature picture? Or is this a new (to you) truck?

 

holly crap what kind of wax did you use....it looks like it just rolled off the showroom

 

you went from that first pic to nice paint with only wax. nice work.

 

Almost there just a few more posts i think

Alright so after the wax i had to drop it and get some wheels.

Drop was courtesy of beefedtaco at first with a b/j flip and blocks.




And a new engine makeover

 

Mequiars scratch x, found out afterwards meguiars ultimate compound is much easier and works just as well

 

Wash your motor OP! Otherwise looks good

 

Damn nice work man.

 

Alright so now to bring this truck up to date, within the past year i have done the qa1 coilovers up front and an s runner rear sway bar (no pics yet of the sway bar). Last week i also did a 5 speed swap so here you go




Rear shocks -Monroe Load Adjusting shocks-

 

Hey, what's the best way to do that? When I was young and stupid I used to go in there with a pressure washer

Now I know that drives water past the seals, into the fusebox, into the distributor, into the ecu, etc... So I never take a pressure washer to it.

But, it still gets dirty in there.

So, what's the solution??

 

5 speed swap---



Ill have some finished pics of the swap and the sway bar up soon

 

i think i'm just weird, but i liked it most before the drop and with the black steelies!

looks GREAT though man, very nice truck!

 

Same truck as sig pic...my grandfather bought it in 95 after seeing the first tacoma commercial he ordered one (#1141 off the line mind you). My dad inherited it in 2001, and gave it to me because my mustang got 6 mpg if i promised to sell it and concentrate on college. Oh and im the III so its been in the same name since day 1

 

Keep going and keep us posted.

 

WOW! Well done.

 

95 4wd front end swap and different fog lights, soon to come paint matching the lower valance and a full set of slicks and racing wheels will be here tomorrow
