Looking good, i like your rims much better now. Did you ever get to that giant car meet in Pleasanton?
kinda,, it got broken up n ppl scattered so i ended up in another spot it was okay
Can we get some more detail? Rim size? What drop you have? How you dropped it?
wheels: 16x8 -12 205/55
front: drop spindles, lowering springs, shocks, cut bump stops
rear: lowering leaf springs, 4in drop block, shocks, cut bump stops
hammered-in channel
Damn I need some drop spindles...lol
Looking good bro, keep up the good work

That looks awesome!
thats a pretty damn wicked truck right there
Thats looks totally awesome:clap:
Havent done much to the truck in a while just like new tires, wheel color, new exhaust, took off all my tint, looking for different front lip though
My old lip fell off lol ideas are welcome for cool looking front lips
This thread date is is a few days old, but I did a simple update on my truck and I really like it. Looks sporty in a NASCAR sort of way. It's very affordable too.
Go to Lowes hardware and in the flooring department they have this edging that goes between the floor and wall right where they meet. I grabbed 2 pieces of the black and doubled them up for strength. Drilled holes in them in measured spots for eveness and again strength when mounted. Lined it up to truck where I wanted it located and drilled (gulp!) the lower vance of the truck. Be sure to kinda stretch as you drill and place a screw so it stays firm in all weather. Use stainles steel screws and I used lock nuts for the back, use washers also if you like. It looked like it belong there after I was finished and I couldn't believe I only paid about 20 bucks, lol. Another plus. it won't fall off. I lost a front lip on freeway once and it made a nasty loud noise as it bounced under the car. The next day going to work I seen parts of it on the side of the freeway. Looked worse then when an animal strays mistakenly onto the freeway. lol

Who said hammer in channel? Lost me on this quote..
Sorry Noahwins, I get emails on subscriptions and it looked like you were asking me something. My Mistake!
I slip away a little more everyday, just ignore me as I babble in the corner by myself, lol
I was quoting AOrolfo.
I used a 1st gen s10 plastic lower valance. Seemed to look fine. What wheels are those? Brand, or car they came off of. Ive seen your truck on stance works, love it. ALways wanted a similar look for mine, but never finished it.

btw, i have a magnaflow dual im thinkin of putting on my truck. 2.5 inlet. i've heard it on a diff. 4 banger and it sounded pretty damn good. idk, i'll see
i have straight pipe to dual tip no muffler, it sounds great, i love it
16x8 with a -12 offset? Is that correct? Summit steel wheels with a 6 bolt pattern or you have adapters?

SO, i sold my truck the other day to a kid in Sanoma, I am leaving the car scene for a little, to pursue other ventures, but i will be back soon with something fresh... haha
Whats up lol im that kid in sonoma. I recently just installed my Grip Royal wheel in the mightymax and got new speakers and a radio deck. I plan on drifting this mighty max.
Sweet, looking forward to updates and drift pics.
Does anyone know where I can get a 4g63t swap in the Bay Area and how much?

No I don't
If he does the swap he can even tell you how to get around the SMOG problem..
What wheels and tires are you running on this truck? I am digging the stance on this pickup as well. Is it pretty much just springs and tires to get it lookin like that?Quote:

Sweet as! Thanks for the info.Quote:
