Pretty porshe! I've always favoured them over other high performance cars. I've been changing my perspective lately though and I'm not sure why. Lately I've been eyeing a lot of muscle cars. I'm not sure if it's because of the production of the modern muscle cars or not...humm.

On a side note, my truck is a continuing evolving project. Lately I'm added the rear CBI Offroad bumper, made a Satoshi grill and installed an air compressor under the hood.

Anthony your truck is friggin sweet! Nice photos too

[vintage AE]

Thanks man! Not too much left to do to it, rock sliders and a snorkel. I can't wait to buy a 4x4 specifically for the trail. This one is a great work truck and is trail capable, but there are no lockers and the wheel base is way too long.

Yeah, I've got the same truck, albiet stock 2WD, a TRD Sport Long Bed 4-door. I wanted the longbed cause I used to ride motocross bikes, but now wish I had the short box Off Road package. The truck is just too long for my taste, its a bitch to park, I have no idea where the back of it ends

Lol, try having all that junk in your trunk. Mine has a reverse camera that was in the tailgate, so I extended the wires and relocated it to the center of the spare tire. Because it's so high, I still second guess if I'm going to hit something. I chose the long box because it's a work truck and I haul a lot of gear to the well sites. Otherwise it would have been access cab short box for me.

Most likely not, Still have work to do to get her legal, safe and running right. hopefully towards end of summer. Ill take her out alot, since it will be my only vehicle besides the bike, so it will go to the tracks with me also.

Well Adam and I finally got the engine and trans, drive shaft and headers put into the track/auto-x car. We also finished running the brake lines and bleed them out, about 5 full days of work to get it ready to start up.

Brought home a 2014 Camaro SS this weekend! I finally have a real muscle car! This will be a garage queen and driven mostly for weekend outings and fast food runs. Can't wait to start on some mods! Hopefully I'll be able to drag myself away from it for a while and finish off some of my RC car projects.



It has the 6.2L 426 horse V8 with a six speed manual and limited slip rear. Also has Brembo disc brakes and quad exhaust outlets.
