    Since my latest license plate is "SLW N LOW", I guess I won't need the decals :D

    Just my opinion, but "TRD" stands for "Toyota Racing Development" and so it's kind of contradictory to put "TRD" and "Low and Slow" on the same decal, no? :eek:

    I personally avoid the TRD logo as I see it as Toyota's version of the Honda "Type-R" logo that was all the rage in the 90's (and maybe still is). It was basically a badge that everyone slapped on their Honda, regardless of it was fast or not.

    [​IMG]

    If Toyota wants me to advertise their racing division, they had better give me free parts or pay me to put their logo on my truck. :cool:

    I've done custom vinyl work in the past and have been trying to think of something for my truck as well, but so far I haven't come-up with anything I like. So in the mean time, my truck will just stay clean.

    Right now 5/6 on suspension
    Shit I'd love to be 6/7 but then I lose the daily driver part of the truck so yeah I'm happy at this height for now the smaller tires lowered me a tiny bit more as well and gave me wheel gap

    That is an option but that too much to make it a daily and I'll have to cut a lot of things anyways to go any lower than I am now not to mention more money in parts and all that fun stuff

    If I were to bag anything it be an older Chevy pickup or something that won't be a daily

    Now I think bout it I'm pretty happy with the trucks outcome

    Yah I cranked the qa1's to like 5 today just to see. Not so bad on the bumps and really pulls right through tight turns. 5 speed would be way more fun except for traffic. Wish I could magically switch it from either at different times lol. I'm still bangin the turns he he. I'm not that low das why!!

    Now that's what I like to see... a good lookin' low Taco that is still usable as a truck :D I'm assuming it's all your QA1's keeping your truck from sagging?

    Are you in the process of moving your brake lines and sensor wires? They appear to be dangling.

    Your exhaust looks like one of the lowest points on the truck like mine. Do you ever hear "clanking" as the axle hits the exhaust?

    Naw im probably gonna zip tie em at least but other then that let em dangle. at least they are out of the way of the frame and bed crashing down on them. nothing will pop up from the road and catch em either. nope never hit the exhaust you can see where it rubbed a little but that was from loading the bike. ill probably chop mine anyway and put one of those down pipes from the store on it. We have what a 2-1/2 or 3 inch pipe coming out of the muffler?
