Hit me up mabe you might get inspired the way your truck inspired mw.
what kit did you get those fender flares from or were they custom made. I have a 97 single cab taco and ive been looking for a way to make the truck look a little wider.
I'm about to pick up a Hilux and stumbled upon you channel. I love the content, but a gimble would make the videos much easier to watch. I'm getting to be an old man and the shakiness hurts my head lol.
Paint your damn truck bro if you looking for more points! That 'satin black' or whatever color stuff makes your ride look cheaper than what it really is, I mean I get it, some folks like to do that color to make it look 'mean' or whatever but it ain't gonna win ya any points if you are entering competitions. You've got a nice build, give it a nice real pearl paintjob to go with it!
no point in a really nice paint job if i still have to engine swap ya know? I’d hate to damage it with the fab work happening on and around the truck. This coating is peelable. When the time comes it’s getting easily a 8-10k paint job.
