Sproulesxrunner's Build

First off a little history before the X. Originally I wanted an EVO or and Subaru STI but my parents wanted me to pick something safer and better for winter/hockey. They brought me some truck brochures. I was flipping through them and I saw the X runner in the Tacoma brochure and it was love at first site. Red is my favourite colour so the obvious choice was the RR X. I was sold on the looks and how it was a manual.

Next Mods

1. Install all the stuff sitting in my room lol
2. BBK

4. A nice set of Volks
5. Buy a Supra

Regrets:
Not getting a short shifter as soon.
Not spending the extra money to fully sound deaden my interior. I only did the doors but I should have done the whole cab and roof.

 

I can't believe this has been up for this long with no replies. Lookin good man

 

i can do your retro for you if you want but youll have to roll around with stock headlights for a bit. and hurry up and get that ucon in. i also dont get how awd cars arent great for winter? lots of people play hockey and drive those cars
