    Are you a chrome lover? I would have done them in black but either way they look good!

    Mmm not really but in order to have the entire black them, I'd have to paint my wheels and i really dont wanna do all that work of taking them off and getting them powder coated or something. haha :D i wanted to do black but it wouldnt blend together with the chrome grille or wheels

    Oh and i added a pic of my friends project datsun 510 just to make the thread a little more interesting :)

    Im gonna get my 4.88s first, and then id be able to start saving for a new bumper. I'm gonna try and bang it out with a hammer tomorrow night, just to try and make it look a little better. I cant even aim my hella's high enough now because the back of the light is hitting the grille, which it wasnt before :(

    Pic? and if you are going to do gears i would just save up and do a locker at the same time. Saves all the money in labor.

    I wont be getting a locker for a loong while, and when i do i wont have to pay labor so its okay with me :) and eventually im gonna get a custom built front bumper so im not too worried about it. I fixed it a little by popping it back out most of the way :D and i thought you could run bfg's at like 12psi man??

    Anyways heres a little before/after:

    12 is way to little, side wall sags way to much. The side wall is fucked and buldged.

    Oh and my leaf springs are fucked, my bumper is fucked, and my tailgate is fucked...

    Looking out the window at my taco right now is depressing
