    I previously had a 04 xtra cab (link to that build) and i just wanted a bit more space, yet i still love the 1st gens. I found a DC on here that was just what i wanted minus the TRD part, but that's ok ill just get an air locker. I flew down to San Diego and drove it home that day.

    With my bike in the back to see how she handled a little weight and to cry over the lack of bed space
    ** note its a woods bike so shes got extra protection, but its only a 200 so shes pretty light

    Had a Transgo shift kit installed. Its absolutely amazing. shifts are harder and more abrupt and it will hold 1st when in low which is perfect for offroading.
    I also had a miss fire and leaky cam plugs. And got a nice Christmas present... some sweet new taillights

    The cause of my misfire, replaced the plugs and will keep an eye on this cylinder. Previous owner replaced that coil pack so im thinking they had issues with it.

    I just used a 100 grit sand paper and foam sanding blocks. I found the blocks worked really well. Got a 6 pack at lowes for 12 bucks. Then I just used some rustoleum spray paint and primer on them. It's what I use on all my stuff.
