After I painted it with factory matched paint:

Back on the truck! Color matched too!:

May 10th Hollister Hills run with Ken (05SCtaco) and my roommate (pictures are ripped from Ken).

This is where we found ourselves after about half an hour of trekking up a few black diamond trails. The city you see off in the distance is Hollister!:

Some videos of me going down a very steep hill:

Dude, I like your truck. I'm not a fan of the Chinese (I'm guessing?) on the tailgate. But its still a great looking truck.

 

[blackhawke88]

Thanks. The Chinese means: Bei Jing Toyota. Back home (Beijing) all Toyota vehicles have GuangZhou Toyota on the back in Chinese. Since I'm from Beijing, I had Beijing Toyota vinyled on the tailgate. It's my own personal touch.

Thats cool. Definitely a way to keep your truck different from all the others out there. :thumbup:
