Hey All, Finally got the truck in.. My mom arrived at around 2:35 and I had to drive an hour to get to work by 4, So I drove around the block a couple times and had to jump in my dads truck and head to work. Anyway, Truck is a 99 Tacoma, 3RZ, 5speed, 4x4. Manual hubs, mani windows and an aftermarket alarm. other then that and the radio the bad boy is stock. Heres the couple shots I got earlier,I had taken the rims and tires off my 91 before it went to the yard, and painted them white for a nice retro look, got home tonight made quick work to get those on and what do ya know................I made it about 4 inches before I realized the rims werent clearing the brakes due to backspacing... :chair: I said screw it and came inside....Here It is first shot with the sienna I've been driving since I wrecked the 91. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a168/Sycosurfer150/Truck/SDC10028.jpg for some reason it sits higher in the back, even with all that junk in the back..http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a168/Sycosurfer150/Truck/SDC10029.jpg...In All seriousness, that was really my face...http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a168/Sycosurfer150/Truck/SDC10030.jpg...Anyway, Ill be around ...And Ill have some better shots tomorrow....:bling:

Looks good! I'll say you got a pretty good upgrade from your old 91 :)
Make sure not to crash this one on your first trip out! :flipoff:

That's awesome man congrats. Now just run outside real quick and key your door (there needs to be one from you) so you don't need to be paranoid when we head out. :flipoff: No really that's a good looking truck. I have to ask... Did you vow not to cut your hair until you got a new truck?

Haha, Thanks guys, Im stoked, Scott, No ! Im growin it out man !! Yes, Manual hubs are the shiznittle, The white wheels were scrapped, They wouldnt clear the front brakes, Idk why I didnt say that earlier...The BFG's are sittin on the factory wheels as of 10 this morn. J Money, Id be down dood, Just need to figure out when..Gary thank you, Lets sand drag at pismo ?!? Lol, Chris, I'd really rather not...lolz. Cant wait to get this thing there !! :bling: EDIT, The rear shocks are shot, I forgot the PO told me that, I believe thats why it sits how it does, No blocks, And I havent had a chance to inspect for an AAL, But I can deff tell the shocks are gone....
