Looks good, I used to have a 94 that looked just like that, only a splash(right now I have an extended cab 94 splash). You definately have a great start going on and I am looking forward to see what you have planned for it in the future.

looks really good.

I like that roll bar. did you make it?

 

[lil'_big_truck]

thx. I made the roll bar from a full size truck bar. I cut out a center section then welded it back together with a contsruction pin in the bars. yeah, I'm not too sure what I'm gonna do next.

Looking great! What size tires are those? Any suspension mods?

 

[feellnfroggy]

Absolutely clean truck man. Did you add the lights to the moon visor or put a whole new one on?

I think the tires are 31" and i personally haven't done any suspension mods but my truck does have a set of leveling blocks. and i think some coil spacers in the front.

That visor is a whole new visor i got from a friend.


Well guys, I have ordered a new exhaust for my truck and its shipping as I type. Its a Heartthrob dual exhaust. I'm so excited for it to come in. I'll post pics of the installation when I install it. and a video if I remember to make one.
