Anyway,one day while visiting my parents my wife ended up buying the truck(after the wreck),I guess she wanted something cooler than her 05 Accord and saw potential in The Pre-Runner(Okay I convinced her  :shake: )wich surprises the hell out of me because she's allways had new cars and has allways been against buying used cars.Anyway the front suspension on this truck is pimp,it has Fox Coilovers and all the things the cool kids like nowadays  :greengrin: ,so here's some pics of how my wife got it:

There was quite a bit of damage done including the core support,radiator,the steering box was broken in half and the air bag was blown.So we took it to the body shop and had it fixed and painted,got new tires and after a little bit of work it's almost ready to roll,here's where it's at right now:

thats a good looking truck. i want to do something similar to my yota. is the front end widened at all, or is it just running coilovers with the stock front end?

The front end is pretty damn wide,it's kinda hard to see in the pic but if you look at where the front and rear tires sit on the cement crack you can kind of see it.It has some wide ass upper and lower control arms and Fox Reservoir Coilovers.I wasn't able to do much to it because I hurt my back so I took it easy all weekend.I DID get a little work done on it though,thanx for the compliment.
