Trucks looking real good & the new bedsides really bring out the look and stance of the truck. If you go with a different front end will it be a 1 piece fiber glass? If you run 35's on that 4cyl the outcome will be humerous. Plan on putting a bigger motor in later down the line?

Anyhow you keep it coming along to look better.
thanks man...yes a new motor is in the futur plans..either 4.0 or 5.0 we'll see. Once I put a wider and better set-up in the front I will probably do a glass conversion to a 08 front end.


any how, just got home from jumping the truck with the new springs and it handled allllooot better than I expected. I was verry surprised, feels like a totally different truck. took lots of pics ill put then up in a day or two.

Yum.

And you should go with the 5.0, they have more performance mods, correct?

If you own a Toyota Taco does that make it a Pre-Runner?

absolutely, just a more involved swap
More involved, but worth it in the long run. Do you know the weight difference between the two? You might wan't the lighter one. I don't know much about pre-runners though.

Actually I think that the weight difference isnt much but I would say go with the 4.0 so that when my trucks done I will be able to race against you in 1500.
