yellow fogs were first then went with these Anzo headlights and bug deflector. ran both for a little while until i realized they were ugly as hell

 

[devan08]

saved up for this....

Installed the URD TCAI. big thanks to the VA Beach crew

 

[devan08]

Xii Street Drop 1.7" Springs and 2" Blocks. never had a lowered vehicle, i couldn't stand the ride so i installed QA1s within a month

 

[devan08]

came across a good deal on a set of stock wheels then sent them off to powder coat. cracked open my OEMs did the BHLM just in time to mount these.

 

[devan08]

plasti-dipped them white at first to see then got my original set plus the spare powder coated, luckily this white is close to the factory 040. also got my first taste of retrofitted headlights

 

[devan08]

got these on a groupbuy Xii Performance 2" composite drop leafs. i wish i had these from the start!

 

[devan08]

another Xii groupbuy front and rear sway bars. also installed Doug Thorley long tube headers and URD Stainless 3" Mark3 exhaust

didn't take any good pics while doing the front end conversion. i was doing little by little when i was able to find time. once i was done i copied someone and got the TRDPRO insert then gave retrofitting a shot and have been building since....

 

[devan08]

never painted before so i took the X apart and did it in pieces....

Nice BSP! What color is it going to be when you're done painting?

 

[hypertaco]

where did you get the TRD stamped s/c from?

thanks! It’s already painted OEM Super White I’m just creating the build thread now lol

I got the kit before it was discontinued.

 

[devan08]

never painted before so a few friends helped me out, gave guidance and tips on pre-work, paint products and how to paint. pretty much broke the X down as far as i could to paint, parts were all over the house.... during the process i ended up installing a solid back glass, painted the door jambs. only thing left in BSP is engine bay and interior under the carpet or behind panels. also, years later i finally got around to painting my center caps, painted the emblem in Barcelona Red. installed the Strictly Street Race Spoiler, vinyl badges instead of the OEM ones, 4-Runner mirrors, mattgecko underhood lighting and redline hood struts.

 

[devan08]

went with Varrstoen ES9s 20x9/20/10.5 wrapped in Nitto NT-555s. ordered them straight from Varrstoen and was able to get them powder coated before they shipped.

later, installed the stoptech BBK painted white then added 1" tire stickers and rally armor mud flaps. i lost track of how many times i did my headlights, different color combos and kits.............

 

[devan08]

wanted wider wheels so i got these Ferrada FR3s front in 275 and 315 in the rear. this time around i took my time with the tire letters i went with 1.5"

did a few small things over time. last few mods: LED light bar, semi-truck air horn mounted under the bed facing the rear and 3 pairs of Hella Horns. a while back i misplaced the low tone OEM horn.... i had a pair of horns left from my WRX which were lost in storage so i ordered a set from Amazon and 1 pair worked and looked alright. later i found that lost pair and installed them. i ended up with 3 pairs because that gap was killing me!! fyi, 6 fit tight between the mounts of the crash bar.
