Driver seat is crooked, seat and airbag light is on (dealership said 1k to replace the module in the steering wheel. Mild cracked dash. I can invest more to it and make it into a prerunner wannabe. Look looking for the right headers. I keep saying I got it for 700, but then it's close to 5k already.

Any opinions to this? Lol

 

Air raid throttle spacer - $100


That was a waste of 100 bucks. Does nothing whatsoever on these trucks, no matter what the manufacturer says....

Aside from that, not bad. Got a recent pic??

 

 

Spectre air intake - $170

A K&N drop in filter probably would work as good or better......... But I run a Spectre 14x3 so I can't talk a whole lot.

Nice truck. I love the rims.

 

Yeah, that's sharp. Is the hood black for any particular reason?? Did you have to replace that at some point, or did you paint it that color on purpose?

 

Looks good!

 

Ha. I spray painted over the paint or wax that was coming off the hood. I want that custom hood that i saw here and wide fenders off from fiberwerks. Know what im talking abt??

i got the k&n filter too, i jus like the sprectre look. Looking for sum nice set of headers and thinking to go w led lights on the bar or those classics offroading lights

 

Just out of curiosity, how do you like your head lights?
I've been wanting something brighter than my cheap Xtravisions, but couldn't justify the price.

 

If you get the prerunner fenders make sure you get some wheel spacers to bring the wheels out or it will look really wierd, and i would go with a led bar.

 

+1... The money should have gone to fixing/eliminating the plenum issue.
