Replaced the headlights as one of my first mods done by myself

 

Nice truck! I actually got my red double cab prerunner from my dad as well when I was 16 haha our scenarios are very similar. If your gonna do suspension start with bilstein shocks! It will ride so much better, until you decide your ready to put new springs haha. Then it'll ride like mine.

 

Update:
Ordered a new black grill assembly the old one was chipped where it holds the side marker lights and updated the lower fog lights.

 

I went and dropped the truck off at a mechanic shop to get my valve cover gasket replaced yesterday. got a call this morning saying one of the ears that hold it together was cracked. just add that to the list of things I need to get done.

 

Got the Truck back this week, $550 later, and no more oil leaks. The next steps are improving the crappy ride quality and a few cosmetic items. But for now, here are some photo updates.
