Default 97 2wd 3.0l

Got this truck from my grandfather when I was in high school about 4 years ago and just starting to add some stuff to it!

First of all this all started when I had a blown head gasket and my father and I decided to fix it ourselves. Also replaced the water pump, thermostat, and radiator!

While it was sitting in the garage decided to paint all the chrome on my truck since it was fading and cracked in places. So I did the front grille and bumper, rear bumper, rims besides the center caps, and side strips.

Next, the tail lights kinda stuck out and didn't go with the dark theme I had going so bought some VHT Nite Shade and hit them and the turn signals up front with 2 coats.

Also the other day I did the throttle cable mod to get rid of some slack in my throttle cable!

Here are the list of mods I have coming:
- spray the brake light on top of the bed with VHT
- spray the headlights with 1 coat of VHT
- leveling kit to get the truck sitting nice and leveled
- once it is leveled get bigger wheels and tires either 30x9.5 or 235/75R15
- tint the windows. either replace the glass with untinted glass then tint or tint over the factory and keep the mirrored kind of finish and tint the front 2 windows to match
