damn that thing is all done up how long did it take you to get all that stuff on there and damn when i grow up i wanna be like that truck lol do you mind if i add you onto my myspace account

[FATTshack]

Not at all! please do 

I bought the truck back in 2000 for 500 bucks, I was completely new to Toyotas back then. the same day I bought it I pulled and installed a new long block! before that I never seen a 22RE

after 7 years of trail and error and upgrading....replacing, doing it wrong, I finally got close to what I wanted Bluey to be 

[NorCalToy]

truck looks real clean. i saw the same post on trail gear's forum. do you have a trail gear lift or a Marlin crawler lift?

[Wermz84]

Thank you sir! 

[Plekto]

Nice.   I'm amazed, though, that you're not using some bars to protect it more.

[FATTshack]

Its smoooooother than a babies arse! did some grinding and smoothing out on the exterior of the plenum, and tomorrow I will be shooting them Black....with some blue pearl (cause I can) ...LOL then clearing them with PPG's new ceramic clear...WERD!
the "EFI" logo on the plenum will be buffed to a mirror shine....
