Good look 1st gen you got there!!! You got anymore pics of it?

 

Looks good! Post some more pics! oh and Hail State ^^^

 

I just threw this together real quick and that's one of my most recent pics with the new wheels and tires. I'll try to get some new pics soon.

 

nice truck what kind of rims?

Do you know the actual kit you used for your lights?

 

65k on the odo man for 65k that rust worked fast

 

possibly, thanks for the pic updates

 

I don't know much about it. I bought it off a friend and it's only low beams. This is what it is http://www.ebay.com/itm/xentec-hid-...04-9005-9006-9007-9145-H9-6000K-/140762353166

 

yeah real quick. I had never looked at it closely myself. I sent it in to get some work done to it at the nissan dealership I got it at and they told me not to get in it again. They sent it straight to the toyota dealership down the street where it sat for a month. It did come back to me with the lift kit though haha

 

Dang must have been pretty bad for them to say that but it looks like you won haha

 

Yeah haha I only saw pictures of it and there was a hole big enough to fit your arm in.

 

wow that's ridiculous! is there any body rust at all?

 

Only a tiny spot where the paint chipped on the tailgate. Rear bumper has rusted pretty bad and the front is beginning to. Looking at getting the rear replaced as we speak.

 

Are you going to replace it with another stock bumper or are you putting on armor?

 

I'm planning on stock for now. Don't know if I want to go with chrome or black. Armor is a little out of my budget right now. Relentless offroad makes the only rear and front bumper combo that I like for the 1st gens but its too much right now.

 

If you put your bumper black you will probably want to paint your grille too, get the black and silver theme going

 

Love it glad you got the frame fixed, bet that truck'll last a long time now. My '96 was in the frame recall timeline, but its to old now. However my frame is perfect with just a little surface rust. Oh by the way you remember that '95 I had, I traded it for a '08 Taco. Got more than what I payed for it. The LOL part is right after I sold it, a friend at the dealership told me the starter fried and the whole EGR system tanked. Gotta love lady luck. Also black and sliver would look bada$$.

 

You dodged a bullet there. What was your reason for getting rid of it? I ended up going with chrome because it was only like $10 more. I can get stuff at body shop discount prices haha. Also bought a chrome grille so now I can start on my satoshi, just don't have the time to do it while I'm at school.
