    I don't care for the graphics.
    But other than that it's a clean build.

    After relooking at the photos, I agree, darken those bad boys up.

    I like the retro graphics. My vote is to not black out the headlights. I personally don't like it but sticking to retro style, people didn't black out headlights back then lol

    This one almost has similar colors haha

    You asked for our opinions; my opinion is this.

    You took a sport and left it missing the one thing people buy ORs and Pros for.

    Rear Locker. Go throw an ARB back there and sell it for $50,000 even.

    wow looks great love the vinyl . nice to see that there is a suspension system instead of the normal spacers and wheels for same 5ok price tag. just a question probably going to get a lot of s'''t for is there a reason you didn't regear . it probably would need to be done im sure. it would be nice to have that completed and covered under warranty, I assume would be a big selling point as well just wondering . great job looks awesome

    I'd rock it.

    I think it's priced pretty well, should sell no problem.

    Scratches, dents, lots of squeaks.
    Looks great, would have skipped the diff drop.

    Yeah, it did get a little expensive. I had some other ideas for it as well, would like to have done the stealth light bar behind the front bumper for example. Just trying to make sure that price didn't start with a "5". Thanks so much for all the feedback!

    Only reason that we added it was because we are going to stand behind the warranty even if Toyota has a problem with the lift. I'm pretty sure it wasn't necessary but the parts were only $30 and we had the truck apart. Helped keep the angles on the front axles closer to stock. The upper control arms probably weren't 100% necessary either but we just wanted it to be a reliable lift. Thanks!

    Yeah, thought of that already, had a white OR with the FP package (moon roof and JBL) planned first when I started ordering parts. We sold it a day or two before everything came in. I had four black identical sports in-stock so I just used one and changed up my vinyl plans. Once I sell this one I'm going to do the OR that I had originally planned. Thinking something along the lines of this...

    Ignore the hood scoop, quick photoshop to see what the white/black/red color scheme would look like. Just idea #1.

    First off I dig the retro look but you priced the truck way to high. Your looking at roughly 7-8K of parts with out discounts and 1k of labor install. Then subtract around 1k for selling the suspension, wheels and skids. This is a ~42K truck all day for anyone that has ever modified any vehicle before.

    Honestly, the graphics look awesome. Not too much. It gives the retro feel without being over the top. Love it.

    I do think the wheels should be a little more retro or tamed, but they do look good.
