I decided to paint my fender and valance today:

Sanded and primed:

Painted and clearcoated:

Installed

the paint is pretty much the same as the toyota factory paint (light blue) so it dosnt match my current paint,but I am VERY tempted to paint my whole truck with this colour, I think it looks great.

I figure I could spray paint the whole thing in 2 days or so!

*update July 18th*

We started the install today of my 3" body lift.
No pictures yet but it is only half done.
Party due to it raining all day.

We undid everything needed and lifted the cab up, the front drivers side "cusion" was seized onto the bolt so we had to torch it all off, ordered a new mount from toyota.

So right now all the cab mounts are in but the front left, that is sitting on a 2x3.5 peice of wood.

Tomorrow morning we will pick up the mount and finish everything.
If we have time we will install:

all 4 procomp shocks
new e-brake cable
NGK o2 sensor

*july 19th*

we finished lifting the truck and re-assembly but unfotunatly I could'nt get anyone to cut and weld my shifters till tomorrow morning.

I will get pictures when I get the truck done.

Also installed
The shocks and e-brake cable. The o2 sensor bolts are completly messed up, gonna have to heat them up and take them off with a vise grip.

*update july 20th*

Here is a quick pictures.
I still have to play with my shifter as its binding on the boots in reverse and a little in 2nd and 4th gear.
And I have to cut off the tip of my tailpipe since it looks a little silly now :D

Painted my bed today, gotta keep it rust free untill I get the line-x done.

Got the new tires and rims installed today.

Milage for records * 213,000km *

33x12.50" BFGoodrich mud terrains mounted on my black steelies.

They rubbed on the lower valance so I took it off, have to trim about a 1/4" from the end and they will clear.

mocked up the roll bar, looks really good!

Trimmed the valance and I beat the shit out of the inner fender pinch weld. No more rubbing! :D

Update*

Painted my roll bar today, tremclad gloss black.

Picked this little guy up, 25 bucks. Gave it a good coat of tremclad enamel and she looks good.

We put on my cheapo 55w reverse lights (not installed..) to see what it will look like.

Going to buy 1 set (2) of Hella 500 fog lights (6")
and 1 set (2) of hella 500 driving lights (6")

Bar installed, truck washed.

I ordered my lights and balljoint spacers today. Also ordered a stocker air filter, mine is pretty old.

Update aug 24th

I bought a used idler arm today, was only used for 3 months then the guy did a sas.

payed 30 bucks, got it home, sanded it down and gave it a good coat of tremclad enamel.

*update aug 26th*
Looky what showed up this morning! My 1.5" bj spacers from SDORI, Talked with Frank about these off and on for a few months, he answered all my questions/concerns about them. Great guy.

*update sep 4th *

Collecting parts to do the ISR mod, so far I have everything but the silicone couplers to connect the throttle body and airbox to the pipe.

using ABS plasic pipe 3" inner diameter, should improve the throttle response some.

Also extended my rear diff breather today, when I pulled the stock breather off I saw that it was 100% plugged with gunk/oil.
Took me 10 mins to clean it out with a screwdriver, I guess thats what caused my diff oil to push past the housing seal. Hopfally the leak will slow down now till I can get some 4.88 3rds to replace my current ones.

Added a picture of how I ended the breather, used a peice of pantyhose to seal of the end and prevent bugs and dirt from getting in.
Also wrapped the hose around so no water could get into the diff.

After driving 50kms its safe to say my diff leak has stopped!

Did some mild flexing, wanted to see how much rubbing I have.

Turns out all 4 tires rub, the rears I can fix with longer shackles, the fronts im just hoping after I do my 1.5" bj spacers and mild t-bar crank ( suspension has sagged almost an 1" front and 1.5" rear) that it will stop.

Here are some pictures.

Dont mind the photochop of the exhaust pipe on that last photo, the bend is buggin the hell outa me, I gotta cut off the end and buy a chrome tip.

Update Sept 29th

Went and bought some new 4" Infinity speakers from future shop.

put them in at home in 15 mins. They sound AWSUME! No more popping sounds from the bass :D
