Monte,
Just wanted to say Hi.....I am an acquaintance of wreckdiver ....fellow low rider Nissan Frontier guy.
I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to write up / post pics of your builds and adventures.
It has been kind of slow here at work and over the last week or so I have read , Fires Tires Bears , SOS , Goose lake and your build threads.
Excellent story telling and awesome pics !!!!
I gotta say out of all these Tacoma mods the best mod is your dad's FRV sticker on the rear of his truck bed.

hey man thanks! I love hearing feed back like that about the write ups. It takes a lot of effort! And I like doing it but knowing people really enjoy it makes it much easier to continue to do them.

Im starting my latest one from this past August. And have one from Oct too in the pipes.

My dad is awesome haha I got those decals for him once the name The FRV stuck. He proceeded to fully embrace the title and get his WetOkales with the FRV logo hahahaha

He is a great guy.

Maybe Tom will drag you down with him next time. You guys seem alright for being low riding Nissan bros hahaha

He's got matching seat covers too.

Its such a good touch haha

FRV is a beast.

New wheels! Custom finish SCS RAY10s. They are the limited copper finish. Perfect color combo. I am so damn stoked on these. Will have better photos soon. Got them mounted and hit the road for work.

I replaced broken door handles on my 04. Tried the aftermarket and agree that you did the right thing going oem...

Yea that's what I read. They don't last. I have a friend that just replaces his ever 4-6 months because he won't shell out for an OEM. Lol even though he has now spent the same amount of money as an OEM one. And will end up spending a lot more.

Hot damn Monte! Those wheels looks killer on that color truck. I'm not usually one for aftermarket wheels but those look great. I also really like the RTT rack on there.

This build is great!

I like the height. They are just bed bars really. Low which i like. Easy to remove too. Wish it moved like Franks sometimes but it isn't bad for what i need.

This build is great!

Thanks!

Front Driver Wheel bearing is failing. Ordered all OEM parts to do both sides. Hoping to knock it out next week.

Can you hear it?

Just did OEM steering rack, tie rod ends and lower ball joints on my double cab. Steering rack was a pita!

 

[04dblcab]

Hmm, they're not bad..just remember to lock the steering wheel with the seatbelt.

Keep up the good work monte!!

Cheers buddy!

Doesn't matter for you now, but there is a gentleman on TW who puts together great wheel bearing kits.
