Welcome to my site about my obssesion, my truck "The Darkness" Shes a 1988
Toyota Hilux SSR 2.4d dual cab.When i first had her she was in a sorry state and wore dirty white paintwork. Only a few days after buying her it had began, and the modding cheque book was in for a shagging! She now wears a clean panther black paintjob, 32inch tyre and a modest 2inch lift....for now!!! READ ON.....
PLEASE RATE MY RIDE SO SHE CAN GET NOTICED!!!
Here she is folks, my pick-up on the first day i bought her, what a babe!
This pic shows the front end, its wicked pulling up behind cars and seeing kids faces light up in the back seat.MOM, MOM!! you see them shout, a Monster truck!! Its funny as hell!
Shes in a bit of a state, shes 16 years old and looks it, but ive got huge plans for her so wait till shes sprayed up and pimped out!any ideas are very welcome so sign the guest book dudes!
As you can see theres a bit of rust so it needs some attention.
Due to being basically abused all her life, the pick up is in need of an over haul, "BIG STYLE" so ive booked her in for a full bare metal respray at a local body shop, they look really profesional. The owner had some dudes supra in bits the other day but Niel assured that his magic will be applied with a little help from a full vielside kit (good to know)
AAAhhhh!!! This mess is acctually a Toyota Supra! I nearlly cried when i seen it parked outside the body shop, but as i walked through the paint shop i seen a huge box containing a full vielside bodykit all primed up and ready to go,cant wait till this bitch is finished, awesome.
The truck has had a lift put on but its a baby one and with 32inch wheels, shes only an inch bigger than standard. Being from the U.K. theres not much of this kind of thing going on as a pose to america, many guys just buy little cars and slam them to the floor and stick huge sound systems in, so i hope to really turn some heads on the cruise scene with the mods ive planed for my truck, with huge wheels and colosal suspension, this is definately one to watch.
I seen this and just had to get it! not only does it offer amazing sound quality and looks, but its exactly the paint job i planned for the exterior, Wicked!!
Messing around after dark!
I had a bit of trouble with the radiator after i bought the truck, the top water pipe connector had rotted and was leaking bad. so i stripped it down totally and flushed her out. with the help of a local radiator rapair shop the rad was soldered and sprayed up like new. I then refitted the rad replacing all the water pipes and chrome pipe clamps. she now drives like a dream and doesnt overheat or leak. Sorted!
These are photos of the interior. Its got shitty wood trimmings and eighty style grey plastic everywhere, YUCK! Ive got black leather seats on the way so ill trim the dash and door cards with balck carpet and leather trim to match. My Mrs is a keen drawer and shes sketching like mad with ideas for the interior. I think she wants flames everywhere so im bracing myself!!
I found these pics on tuning and styling sites, they look awesome! The U.K. has gone mad over euro style lights this last year so these are a must. Im thinking of a black colour scheme with crome and euro lights everywhere, What ya think???
