updated pics(guess i havnt updated for awhile)

first i got a new setup on wheels/tires. 17x10 aluminum wheels on 39x13.50 baja t/a trophy truck take off tires

not sure if anyone has heard of plastidip but i plastidipped the wheels(basically its like paint that you can peel off like a balloon for when i go to sell them)


also built myself a rear bumper



and now just finishing up my prerunner bumper/skid plate. no this is not done.my plasma cutter fuse blew so im awaiting another one to cut in my stock fogs into the plate off custom brackets i made for them.also will be dimple dying the skid plate at the top around where i mount the license plate.will be adding a few more bars and two small plates of the side to cover up the bars that are going to the frame and eventually add 4 6" lights or possible a 20" led light bar inside the plate(we'll see)


bar all painted up.waiting to finish plate before it gets painted as well


also finally got my brakes in. ebc ultimax slotted rotors(all 4 corners) with the yellowstuff racing/towing pads.all in all got them for 710 shipped to my door(and yes i need to clean and paint my suspension ive been slacking )

thanks bud.im still learning as always but i know the basics and have the tools so that helps. the plastidip is in a spray can.you can get it from home depot area.pm me your number and ill send you a few pics of it up close.basically you clean your wheels with wheel cleaner and water.let them dry.and spray it like you're painting it and it stays on.once you'd like it to be gone you take your finger nail and cut into it and peel it off like a balloon(and do not scuff your wheels or your wheels will be scuffed after you peel it).my buddy made one of his wheels run and i just let it dry and peeled it off.lol

Plasti dip is a glorious invention. Ive been thinkin of doin my wheels just to see what a black/ red theme would look like.

But anyways, Gr$$n$ i love the prerunner style! Looks so good. Very different for a 3/4ton truck.
And I had no clue your truck started off as a sema truck built for jesse james! Thats so awesome. That guy has been my idol ever since monster garage and motorcycle mania.

you should definately try it.its pretty cheap and if you dont like it pull it off! and thanks i never see any 3/4 ton prerunners around here so i figured i'd be a bit different.he used to be my idol too till i saw some of the hack stuff that him and his shop did to this poor truck.ever since then i have not liked him so much.haha
