Finally got an X!!!

[christhepike]

Hi everyone, after years of drooling over a friend's 05 red x-runner I have bought my own!!! So happy with this truck and on day two I was already modding! Happy to find such a helpful forum and looking forward to future meets/drives!

Thanks for the welcome guys! Yes I was cutting the brace for the bumper/hood latch support. Gonna do the recessed grille mod and didnt like seeing the brace in the middle of the grille. Have to weld in a stiffer peice of metal to support the hood latch cause now its a 2 man job to button the hood lol. Did the Fog Light patch also. Pulled my rear brake drums and wire brushed/repainted black. Also relocating the horn mounts to clean out the front. Debating stenciling TRD on the cooler. Opinions?

Did this stuff the second day I had the truck! HDlights, yella fogs, taillights, short throw, full exhaust and headers, stage II clutch, tailgate spoiler in the next few weeks. 19" Varrstoen wheels & Supercharger around christmas :rockon:


BTW, thanks for the props on the saftey glasses. haha

welcome to xru man

Thanks, it only has one tiny scratch on the right rear skirt but the rest is flawless and the interior looks showroom new! The previous owner definately took pride in owning this truck and kept her spotless. It only has 78k miles on it so that was a plus not to mention the additional 100k mile powertrain warranty the toyota dealership gave me! Im covered till odo reads 178,000 or 5 yrs!!!
