    Hey all I'm new here. I have a '98 2WD extended cab with a 2RZ. It came with a camper shell which is a major bonus for me since I'm a vinyl record buyer and it keeps them out of the elements. I bought the truck last July with 167k on it and now it has 190k and running great without issues. I've slowly been doing upgrades on a budget, very first thing I did was debadge it right away. Found '01 tail lights at a salvage yard for $20, picked up a aftermarket 4WD front for $135 and Mustang 16's for $125 which I hand polished myself. Other small tidbits I've done is a double din JVC CD player with Bluetooth and IPhone capability also did tint.

    Thanks here's some before and after shots. The first three are right when I got it, I put a lot of work in polishing it up and waxing it, the previous owner never cleaned it and the paint was a chalky white.

    Thanks guys. I have minor plans left for the truck, like wider front fenders so the tires will tuck when I lower it a couple inches. Probably have a friend do his magic with his painless dent repair skills. I am currently unemployed and when I get a job to support myself better I'll be throwing my money back at my big car project, my rare '93 Celica All-Trac Turbo, which I'm doing a full blown rebuild on it.
