Hi everyone,

I bought my truck in 2001 and have been working on it ever since. The truck was purchased from a soccer mom that my brother worked with. When I purchased it the truck had 58k miles on it, it had just gotten its 60k miles service at the local Toyota dealer. She included everything with the truck including the original window sticker and all the service records from the local dealer. Needless to say the truck was very well maintained. The truck has 128k miles on it now and it still runs like it was new.

Finally a shot of the OEM JDM side moldings waiting to get installed. They are very high quality. I am just waiting for the final piece to arrive before I install all eight pieces. My parts person told me it should be here this week from Japan.

[ajohnson]

Very Nice!

[LX_TREME]

Nmostofi, What type of bulb you using with those clear tailight? Polarg, LED bulbs?I hope you dont use that bulb came with the clear tailight first when you bought it.Also do you ever got problem with local authority with those crystal clear tailight?or your cruiser is not DD.(Daily Drive)Overall nice rig, except the carbon fiber dash.Well that personal preference. My .02

The drawers system is awesome. Did you fabricate it?

One quick question, and it might just be me being stupid, if the side mouldings are JDM (which as I understand it is Japan Domestic Market) why do they have english lettering? You'd think it would say "four wheel drive" in Japanese (hiragana, katakana or kanji).

[Biff]

Wow!!! have you ever taken that thing wheelin. Looks like it just came out of the showroom.

Also I think you mean Hanna not Henna or is that another kind of slider?

[JerryLX450]

I like your TRD front seats cover, wondering where you get it from?Or can you give us links.. or reference..

[neowulf]

Hello

nice rig there

one of the best i've ever seen.

do you have a link or e-mail adress to where you bought this items:

Custom rear drawer system
Wet Okole seat covers
Carbon fiber dash kit
JDM side moldings

i just realised i need it

[davegonz]

Awesome...that's what I want my Green 93 to look like...except the Carbon Fiber (just my preference). I really like the drawer system you got there.

[MaddBaggins]

Man, super clean rig. I really like that drawer set-up. Got any deatails on that?

[dclee]

Hey Navid, nice truck!

I'll echo others and say where did you get the cool seat covers?

Oh, still waiting for Luke to call on my rear bumper. Starting to get antsy, 80Con is only two months away!

See ya,

[cc93cruiser]

The carbon fiber dash kit looks much better up close! My father, Navid and I all work on our cruisers together. And those moldings are going to to stand out big time! Once Navid gets the last part, we will install them and he should take some more pics of the cruiser ..Oh yeah, What no pics of Romeo, He is also a fellow cruiser head too!

[reffug]

nmostifi,

Nice write up.

Nice rig.

Very impressive.

93 is by far the finest year.

[NorCalDoug]

Navid's a cool guy with a cooler rig

I like the carbon fiber dash kit. I will say that it looks better in person than in the pics -- it's more subdued in real-life.

The wet okole seat covers can be ordered from www.wetokole.com -- they're neoprene and waterproof.

[nmostofi]

Thanks everyone for the kind words about the truck. LX_TREME I am using DOT approved LED's for the taillights, they are clear and burn red. The backup light is stock and the signal light is a stealth bulb that is chrome and burns amber. No problems with the cops yet and the truck is a daily driver. The carbon fiber dash kit is a hit or miss, some like it others hate it I purchased it from dash masters (www.dashmasters.com). It is real carbon fiber; the fake ones look really bad! It was one of the first mods I did when I got the truck. I was just tired of seeing the worn out fake wood kit that came with the truck. Like Robert had mentioned it looks better up close. The seat covers are WetOkole (www.WetOkole.com) I had them put the TRD off-road badge put on when I ordered the covers, I've been very happy with them since they don't get hot in the sun and are warm in the winter. Biff I wheel the truck all the time, made it to CruiseMoab in 04 and have gone wheeling with it countless times to Hollister and all around N.Cali. The drawer system was made by fellow Cruiserhead Jasper Jackson using Pismojim’s design, I had him make it for me when he was making one for himself, it turned out real nice, with the back seats folded down it is almost a flat space, with a couple of Thermo-rests it is perfect for sleeping in the truck. The JDM side moldings can be purchased at your local dealer, although I would get them from CDan. The model year for these ones is the 93-94. A few trucks came with them from the dealer but I have not seen any. Let me just say that it is sooo cool to have Cruiserheads in the neighborhood. Robert (cc93cruiser) and his dad Roberto live about 5 minutes away from me so we hang out all the time, at one point we were wheeling every weekend. They have helped me with numerous projects and they are truly cool people and real cruiserheads. And yes Robert how can I forget Romeo (my dog) he has been to almost every wheeling trip that I have gone. Here is another pic of Romeo during wheeling

Got proof too

Which one is Romeo, The guy with the water bottle ...Can't forget 'bout Mando Man....

[nmostofi]

Hi Doug, those pics are from Moab I believe, did you go this year? I wish I could have made it but it was smack in the middle of my finals and since I was graduating this year their was no way I could take the time off Derek get on Lukes ass about the bumper Can't wait for the 80's on the con

[PKP80]

Navid,

Navid,
Your truck looks awesome! I too love your drawer system and luke's rear bumper. To everyone the pictures don't do the truck justice. It looks great in person! Can't wait to get back up north and do some wheeling w/ you and robert and the other nor cal guys.

Talk to you later!

Steve

[Brentbba]

I remember Romeo from Pismo. He was headed to China most often from what I remember. Dog loved to dig! hehehe. Oh yea....remember the truck as well - very nice, especially the rear bumber with ladder to roof rack!

[QUOTE=nmostofi]Finally a shot of the OEM JDM side moldings waiting to get installed. They are very high quality. I am just waiting for the final piece to arrive before I install all eight pieces. My parts person told me it should be here this week from Japan.[/

Do you have to drill holes to mount the side mouldings

[nmostofi]

PKP80 thank you, yes the hella's are 55W, I’m not really into lights, I don't do a lot of night wheeling but the Hella's definitely do the job. They are high quality and are made in Germany unlike some Hella products that are made in China. In hindsight I should have probably spent a little bit more and gone with some Lightface or IPF's. Here are a couple of pics with the stone shields off.

Doug I was thinking about you guys during CruiseMoab week. Robert, his father and offroadkid (Josh) and I went to Hollister that weekend just to get the wheeling out of our system, it didn't work would have liked to be in Moab, oh well for sure next year. You can always count on Mando for a good pic.

YngTLCOwner it was wonderful to meet you and your girlfriend. It was cool caravanning in all our cruisers to go get lunch in Palo Alto with Drexx and the crew. Defiantly call me when you come to N.Cali.

is this a 2.5" lift on you 93' ?

[CreeperSleeper]

What size tire are you running?

[nmostofi]

Brentbba yes that was Romeo digging to China at Pismo. He just seems to go off when ever we go to Pismo, luckily he doesn’t do that in the backyard. My first year at Pismo he dug a hole so deep behind my rear tire that when we were leaving I got stuck in it had to lock it up to get out thanks for the compliment about the truck.

Acolella the side moldings can be had at your local Toyota dealer. I highly recommend that you give CruiserDan a call regarding the moldings you can find his contact info in the vendor section. He will give you the Ih8mud discount, which should keep you from having a hart attack
The ones pictured are for the 93-93 models the later ones 95-97 are like the ones on the 40th anniversary edition, they are a different shade of gray and don't say four wheel drive on the driver and passenger sidepieces. I should be getting the last piece this week if so I will post pics.
