New members: please introduce yourself here.

Well as a college student on a budget/outdoor enthusiast, I have to balance modding the TB and paying rent, food, and "soda" costs. This build thread will be slow, but noticeable...

I guess since no comments are allowed on these threads please private message me or comment in my profile, I can use all the advice, tips etc

Future Plans:
H.I.D Headlights
Leveling kit ---- Really just can't afford a lift at the moment, I figure this is an affordable option and still adds some height
"Blacking out the Blacks" - Just gonna spray over some of the faded black plastics
Possibly spray the rims
Roof rack
Fishing pole holders
Bedding for the back for sleeping during camping trips - Still need to figure out it its big enough for my frame


Day 1:

keep an eye on the classifieds here and on trailvoy.com. If you keep an eye out and are patient you can get a deal on a lift kit or hit up MarkMC. I think his are about $250 or so for the 2.5 inch lift kit.

I was going to ask you to amend your first post and follow the first post guidelines in the build thread section, but then I realized this was really just an intro thread... so I moved it for you. Glad to have you.
