Great looking truck and very nice pictures as well!

I miss the lowrider scene!! Haven't been involved since about 1992 when my baby was stolen. Here's 2 pics from shortly after I began work on her. Excuse the blurry subwoofer shot, it;s the only oicture I have left of it from 15 years ago!

I like the upgraded bumper on the truck, even though it is too big for it. The truck needs something around the body to get rid of all that open real estate under there. That was my only complaint about the older trucks. The body is short and thin and you have to fill the space.

You've done well keeping that clean.

Great shots.

Your truck would be very much at home down here. Although Toyota opened its first dealers in early 2002, Toyota trucks of all years have found their way across the border and I have seen some excellent well-kept examples, including some my uncle and I have had a pleasure to spruce up.

Not a fan of the tail lights, but overall the truck looks good!

I think that looks REALLY clean man. Good work! If my truck was even close to that condition i'd look at making it a lowrider, but for now, it's just a waste of time

Very nice! I had a 1985 Toyota pick up truck. I took her to 285,000 miles and I gave her back to my dad. My dad is about to sell it and get a new Tacoma. How many miles do you have on her?

Nice truck.

I've always been more of a truck guy than a car guy.

shes got about 215k on her, i'm the original owner. She been through the food chain such as my mom, dad, 2 brothers, n sister, And now down to me. She has never left my family abandoned.

i got an idea also of making like an Toyota pickup into a Lexus pickup, like having everything an LS430 has even the motor n the whole interior. im gonna call it the HI430. But that project is not til later. i gotta finish my black beauty first. im currently rebuild another 3vz-e motor n turbocharge that to 20psi, which will net me to about 400hp.:-)

Also thanks for the comments, ill be sticking around since i work at lexus of roseville.
