hey kunar what was the deal with the red one? i know you were having issues with it.
 
Those trucks do look good. A clean gen1 is a beautiful thing.

they arent quite as clean as the pics make them look. they both have their fair share of issues. thanks though

hey kunar what was the deal with the red one? i know you were having issues with it.

it was in the valve timing. the 'key' on the cam sprocket had sheared off. i think it had slowly started to move and let the cam fall out of time a little at a time until it eventually came all the way off. with it being as cold as it was, and me having another truck, i wasnt too motivated to work on it over the winter.
 
That is one nice red gen 1!

Not too many of those around, is the Red one getting the 4.0? I think some 33's would compliment it nicely.

no, the blue one is getting the 4.0, but probably not till after i get rid of the red one and get a car. the blue one already has 4.10's so 31's or 32's shouldnt be an issue. it's also got an m5od and a mild lift.
 
heres a couple more. my g/f just got this zx2, we just spent most of yesterday washing it, buffing out countless paint scrapes and scratches, waxing it, sweeping out the interior, etc etc. it still needs some touch up paint to cover some of the bigger chips but it turned out really nice.
