First off a little history before the X. Originally I wanted an EVO or and Subaru STI but my parents wanted me to pick something safer and better for winter/hockey. They brought me some truck brochures. I was flipping through them and I saw the X runner in the Tacoma brochure and it was love at first site. Red is my favourite colour so the obvious choice was the RR X. I was sold on the looks and how it was a manual.

haha. It was pretty much a build thread but really informal and no real timeline so I made a new thread. Not as impressive as your build thread or Cliffords 4 link but its a start:rockon:

About time lil baller! :top:
Keep modding!

Haha. I'm not baller compared to this guy in TX with a snail in his silver taco :laugh:

You haven't found the u brackets to install your gauges?

I talked to DS and he used electrical tape to get a snug fit. I used hockey sock tape and it works awesome. I just bought white gauges and they are all still in the mail. I haven't got them all in yet. :thumbdown:

Thanks for all the encouragement XRU!

Nothing to see. I run stockers in the summer and in the winter I run some ugly ass 20" rims that my dad put on it.... that are so embarrassing I'm not even going to post a picture of them. Also stock height too. Nothing different... yet. :top:

No but my dad likes chrome:thumbdown::stupid: and he bought the rims/grille before I had complete control over the X.

I like matte black and red.
