No more gasbrakes.... Took 3.5" out of my gas pedal, ended up with better ergonomics to boot.

I like the way that center one transitions to the hood. Dude posted this one on the facebooks the other day and love it. The orange and the off white look really good.

Finished off the hatch and passenger side last night... Thinking of doing a part of the hood now.

Did you make the stripe templates yourself?

Thanks! No real templates man, just an initial measurement and then tape lines. And beer, beer was really the main stripes ingredient..

Added a little toyota script dealie to the stripe... Taped over an apron emblem then used a pencil to shade over it to get the font and size transferred. Stuck the tape to some sticker backing I had lying around and cut out the letters with an exacto knife. Painted the orange on first then the blue stripe going through it. Not perfect by any means but I like the way it turned out.

Messed with the front end a little yesterday.
I've been wanting to move my lower coil buckets back a bit on the radius arms for a while now since they put the coils a little too close to the trac bar mounts on both sides. Filled then redrilled the mount holes a bit less than 1/2" further forward and now theres tons of room.
Im waiting for psc hydro assist cylinder parts and a set of radflo hydro bumps so this was a good time to bring it down to full bump and see where things might fit. Looks like I'll have room for the assist cylinder between my tie rod and trac bar so thats cool. The bump stops are gonna be a little more tricky. I can either mount them to the upper coil bucket where I have the poly bumps now or I can stick them to the side of the frame behind the shock and make a pad on the radius arm. Have to wait till they get here then throw the big tires on to check for clearance..
Planning to move my lower shock mounts up a little while I'm in there to get a bit more down travel.
Also, I wish I had a lift and a garage that could fit a lift in it. Rolling around on the ground is getting old.

I always look forward to seeing how this rig is evolving. I've got the same motor as you. did you mount a code reader plug . if you did where did you put it and go about wiring it? thanks for any input, i know its kind of an open ended question.
