I figured I would finnally make a build thread, I wanted to wait a bit longer, but realized I am always updating what is going on with the truck and making alot of threads. Would be nice to consolidate it!
Just to give some props for inspiration; The following members are big inspirations on my build, and as such, I want to recognize them!

Here is a spreadsheet of future stuff, and whats done now.

The is the first picture of the new truck I have, Bought it March 15th-ish
Only a couple of days after getting it, I discovered XRU, amazing site, family, and awesome resource! I immediately jumped into the evo mod and got my addiction started! It all started with that can of plasti-dip. Dealer tags still on the truck, and I was painting it...new realm for me
This is my first vehicle to really mod out, all the others I left stock for funds reasons. But now I have the cashflow, and the drive
I dont like doing what everyone and their mother is doing on the trucks, I like adding my own flare and my own touches. I was playing in photoshop and posted up a concept!

Not too long after that I pulled some strings at a local print company in Tulsa Oklahoma and was able to get the work done!
Around the same time, STICKIVIAN Made a post on how cool it would be to have a push start system in the trucks, with me being an electrical guy, I did some research and everyone knows what came of that

While developing the kit, I ordered some goodies from XRU members, notably URD!!! Go gadget!
I actually traded the TCAI for a AFE, because I didnt like having that huge space under my hood empty. Its in the mail right now. And I sold the MAF Cali because I was hurting for money at one point, I plan on picking a MAF Cali up again in the near future;
Now, being in florida, was time to get some other fun stuff done! Meet some new people, and just have a blast overall! Daniel, AKA Braves, made himself known Representing XRU!
Next, was those wheels! I was really hesitant to do my wheels, because I just didn't see Plastidip holding up on the wheels!
After the first coat, Which this alone looked pretty cool
A couple of days later, and a long drive to see Red_Hot for a car show; The one I rushed on started peeling, lesson learned, take your time.
Took this picture outside of wendys around Mobile, AL, coincidentally another XRU member started talking with me about his old X, he now owns an Evo.
To my surprise, they have held up AMAZINGLY since then! I love the look! Gilly gave me an idea to paint the Toyota emblem red, which is now on my list Thanks XRGilly!
The latest blast of items and goodies came from Sproulexrunner and Spec-D Tuning! The headlights, and the seatbelt pads are really the pentacle of the latest mods. I just REALLY like the seatbelt pads...roflmao. Ill post an interior picture later! (I want to get it cleaned the new headunit I ordered installed in it before then!)
And the headlights with the new HIDS
Long Long Post......But really needed to consolodate everything! I am probably missing some stuff! But I will edit as I got and get the updates rolling!
The aesthetics on the outside are damn near done! ABout to begin the inside, already ordered a new stereo system last night, should be here this coming week. Planning on weathertechs, custom leathers from redlinecustoms; custom sub box is already in the works. Maybe some more Kode: MB inventions; ( I have some ideas ) Gauge cluster face and custom lights; Seat covers or new seats all together;
Then, I am about to start dropping some major money on performance and what not, (I can do ALOT of little things all day long, no matter what.....but when I start spending 500-600 dollars for a single mod, It starts getting real.....aka, ypipe, drops, qa1's, headers, traction bar, sway bars, engine work...boost, T56.....roflmao...gets expensive)
