had to do a little filing to make it work.

 

Recently got new EBC brake pads, Billstein 4600 in the rear and Fox 2.0 coilovers in the front. Got a little lift and it rides awesome!

 

Passenger side CV, wheel paint, POR 15 and rust removal in the wheel well area, lower shock bushing replacement.

 

I attempted to do my front differential oil. Got the skids pulled ok. Had the M10 for the fill and found on my 97 the drain is a m12 hex I did not have. Next weekend I guess. Got one ordered.

Gear lube seemed fairly clean anyway but was over 1/2 a quart low. I topped it up and will use four wheel drive some to stir it up before I do get it changed.

 

Very nice. When I get under there for the suspension overhaul, it would be smart of me to do some preventative cleaning and por-15. Especially while most of the truck will be out of the way.

 

Front end is getting a face lift. Bumper is on the way. I figured this would be a good time to kill the chrome.

White or black for the grille? What say you? The Toyota emblem will be white either way.

 

Color match

 

Is the chrome bezel around the corner light removable?

 

That's the plan. Just wondering if it's removable to be painted, and I'm 50 miles from the truck at the moment so I can't look. Ha ha.

 

No its not removable

I myself like black. Colormatch is a little too much going on IMO


1st page of my build has a pic of my white pee-runner with the black grill. Check it out

 

That actually looks really good. Not making my decision any easier.

 

Whatever you do, the emblem in white idea sounds killer, in my mind at least.

 

Lol..sorry....i had the same done to my silver truck. Then one day i decided to do the emblem silver. It actually looks killer.

 

Pics of this in a build thread? Wanna see it.

 

I know it's not the same grille(grill?), but
And now that I've uploaded these I realize this isn't what you meant but anyway. The black outside would probably look better on the 01-04s but




I think this looks better.

 

That straight on shot is bad ass homie. What's been modded or changed on that second pic from the original? Or is the first pic the original?

 

Sedona is a great spot to 4x4, enjoy it and have a few local beers

 

I put leds where the blinkers were, changed the grill(e) color, painted the skid and lifted a little.
