trapperjake's 02 sr5 build

The day I bought her
2002 4wd sr5. 60,000 miles


Since the day I bought it everything has been little pieces at a time. The first thing I did was painted the rims.
Yes I did clean the rims well before I painted. Just didnt waste the time cleaning the outside of the tire.


I then had to clean my headlights, being a trapper I need then to be bright for the morning checks, I used a magic sponge to clean them up which worked well. Since then they have gotten bad so I will be ordereing new ones unless I find out a neew way.

Painting the rims gave me an idea. I painted them with truck bed liner and it held up really well. I wanted to paint my front and rear bumper but was scared that the bed liner wouldnt go well with chrome. I did a light sanding on the chrome and used the bed liner and it has worked very well and has held up since I did it which has been a year.

Over time the worst spot on the truck that had rust was the front bumper which was minimal. Wanted to put some steel up front anyway so it came off..


This is how she sits as of today. Looking at putting a lift on it for the newyear and have some other projects for it in mind.
