Well I am having a hard time in trying to decide where I wanna go with my truck. Right now I am torn between just doing a lift, some 35's, and just having a cool, not to outlandish truck; or do I wanna do the whole prerunner kit? I have been looking at some pics of a few trucks that were done and i have to say they are pretty sick. I want something that will stand out and if I wanted to take it to a show, would stop people and force them to take a closer look. Around here where I live, I prolly will have the only lifted one and the only prerunner for sure. I just dont know which way I wanna go yet. Some feedback would be nice. THANKS GUYS!

How do you use your Expy? Is it a daily driver or weekend toy? If you want to put it in shows then do the lift and wheels first since those are the biggest things that draw attention.

Yea its a daily right now, but nothing I have is remotely stock. Lol, I just cannot leave it alone. The pre runner look wouldn be pretty sweet and yea I saw the links. The biggest thing that draws me is the fact that I know I would be the only one anywhere close. The body kit is like $800 for the front and idk how much the back is. But, then you have to factor in paint, making a skid plate, and figuring out how to mount everything. On the other hand, I have air shocks right now, and that is gonna be going away whenever UPS arrives this week. So, I will be changing all that out this weekend. So, Im pretty much on my way and I have 3" coil spring spacers and a 3" body lift coming. But Idk, I just wanna do something different. I pulled off all the body cladding and moulding pieces (if anybody wants them they can have for free, just pay shipping), all the pin striping and I think I'ma paint all the gold fender trim pieces black along with the bumper pieces and maybe the grill.

yeah, i painted all my gold crap and pulled the body molding off too. i am not big in to pre-runner anything. just dont like the way it looks, looks like suspension is broken! but if you are looking for something different, go for it. i dont think it would be very offroad worthy in your neck of the woods though. usually those are built for sand and dunes, at least i think i am correct....

ok, well yall are making alot of sense so im leaning more towards just doing a lift and some goodies like that now. But after I get her all done, I aint gonna wanna take it off road cause I hate cleaning it, and my local car wash didnt enjoy it too much either, but damn did that girl look hot all covered in mud. LMAO!!!
