Found the forum through a Google search relating to my A/C and figured I would join. I just got this 2006 from my uncle. It was wrecked and has a damaged door and the drivers fender is all jacked but I found a new fender and plan on ordering it soon as I can.

Truck is stock but I'm planning on a small 2" lift soon and slightly bigger tired but a/t instead of the highway ones he had.

Thanks. The bumper was jacked when I got it and had to bend it back. It was bent in and rubbed the left tire when turning sharply.

I hammered the fender out so its not as bad, but I will order the brand new one soon. I haven't touched the door yet but it's fixable and won't actually need replacing, just a lot of bodywork.

I've already decided on my replacement headlight lens set and will also order it soon

Along with the lift and tires, I'm going to bed line the silver portion at the bottom of the truck and once I get the funds I'll eventually pay a shop to paint it a different color. I've already got a less restrictive muffler but have to order some pipe before I can swap it out.

I could go on for a while but I'll just say that I have a lot planned but it will take a little to get everything and find time to install it (This isn't my first vehicle I've dove into btw. I've built a lifted '93 s10 and a bagged '91 s10. I still own the '91 and i have another 1st gen s10 that I'm planning to drop a v8/5 speed into)


P.S. Sorry for the photo and info overload [emoji28]
