Before and After photos

Man the old owner had some KC Daylighters on there. That's pretty awesome. Takes me back to seeing them on those fake roll bars in the beds of trucks when trucks were really trucks hahaha

 

Yep I kinda wish I wouldn’t have sold them. Yes, o very much liked the real trucks from back then you bee these 4wd cars they call trucks now

 

Another since I have more recent photos

 

I’ll guess I’ll play along:

 

A few more changes.

 

Gosh, it's amazing how much better, classy, & more refined the light color wheels look. The dark & black just look cheap, sinister & lo class. ie. post # 106 same Taco with alum. & black. I just don't understand. Just my opinion.

 

I’ll play.

After kids grow up someday, i'll go back..

 

Ok so I'm going to cheat just a little but only cause it's a great before and after. First pic is the day I turned 16 and my parents so graciously got me a 1998 Tacoma 5spd. Loved it. Next pic is when i bought my first car all on my own (my current 2nd gen TRD OR). Just like those pics back to back cause I've had tacomas ever since I could drive. Next pic is my first taco once I modded it. And the pic after that is unfortunately only 1 week later after all my lifts and lights were installed... totalled. A lasy pulled out in front of me, head on collision, bent the frame. And the last two pics are first, day I picked it up on the lot (at a dodge Chrysler ram dealer no less) and then how it sits today with 2.5" HS coils, 3 leaf progressive AAL, Bilstein 5100s, 17" Icon Rebounds in Bronze, and 285/70r17 Nitto Terra Grappler G2. I know I have 1st gen in here but I ended up with a 2nd gen so give me a break!

 

The cool thing about our trucks is everyone gets to do it the way the like. The "lo" class part is funny though. Sinister, for sure, but "lo" class?

After:

 

Oh you wanted to see my truck. Twist my arm why don't ya.

I apologize, & really hate that I said "lo class", class has nothing to do with it. I can't think of a term for it, but what I meant, to me, the black wheels look like for those who couldn't afford nicer wheels, so just painted what they had black. I understand everyone does it the way they like, & proud they do. I also see most everyone like the black, I know it's just me, but just can't see it. Again, sorry for the lo class comment.

 

Brand new with 7 miles vs 65,000 miles
