Hey Noah, what's up. You should shoot a pic in so we can see your current ride. Suggestions, opinions will start to roll in then most likely.

 

How fat is your wallet?.

Color change maybe?. From dingy scratched white to something else?.

To me, the Toyota white always looked dusty even new. A semi-semi gloss white paint with thick clear coat. I don't know what that color code is.

Fresh color, new rims of some flavor, maybe true beadlocks?.

 

I can't find out how to put a pic on here lol ??

Thanks man

 

What's your budget? Fiberwerx sells a $800 one-piece fiberglass front clip that accepts 2005-2011 grille and headlights. Instantly makes your truck look like a 2nd gen. With a white truck, no painting is required.

Nice wheels are tires make a huge difference!

 

My budget isn't the best in the world I have to save like the next guy . But that is pretty sweet looking .

 

Yes tires and wheels is going to be next I think .

 

eh i like the look of my 1st gen front end.
I would definitely not spend my moneys on something that would downgrade the look of my truck! lol. jk

Besides you need to have LT to make something like that look decent.

IMO id say is get a bumper/sliders/armor.
But it all depends on what you use the truck for.

 

No one has asked this question yet: What do you want your truck to do? Do you:
1. want to mud it?
2. want to run trails and rocks?
3. make it look good on the road?
4. all of the above?

If you can answer these questions, the direction of your build will follow.

 

I have a white 98 as well. When I got it in 2011 I had to buff the entire thing with Turtle Wax rubbing compound to bring the color back. I re-painted the black trim (mirrors, flares, etc.) that was fading. Then last year I painted all of the chrome trim black (wheels, bumpers, etc) and I also bedlined the rocker panels. Looks so much better now. I don't offroad so that's as far as I'm going exterior-wise... For now.

 

Also new headlights, as well as clear corners and turn signals

 

New headlight vs. old

 

I am not a trail guy . I baby my truck I want my truck when someone looks at it . They are like " dang" you know what I mean .
