Sweeeet. Oh, and the 90's called, they want their random wavvy stripe things back.

Dat rust, Can you remove the Miami Viceesque decals?

Seems nice as a winter beater though.

I seriously love that thing. And with a lil work it could sound so beastly. This is my Miata. Gets drifted through Wisconsin winters and loves it. Rust is becoming an issue though :/

What do you mean? Cause manual?

Nibbles > TheD0k_2many toys 2little time 08/30/2014 at 15:54

V8, manual, 4x4, relatively light for a truck

Just watch out for those spark plugs!

TheD0k_2many toys 2little time > Nibbles 08/30/2014 at 15:58

Yea im changing them today. What is the big issue with the plugs? I haven't researched it too much yet

Nibbles > TheD0k_2many toys 2little time 08/30/2014 at 16:16

They like to blow out of the heads. The weak, thin aluminum casting on the heads likes to give way. You'll first hear a tick, almost like a small exhaust leak. Then the spark plug will remove itself from the head. taking the thread with it.

If someone would paint that on there for free i would let them do it

Nibbles > TheD0k_2many toys 2little time 08/31/2014 at 00:25

Just keep a good ear on the ticks and you should be fine. If it does happen, it's a fairly easy fix. Plenty of places offer rethread kits that work quite well. Just google "triton blow out"

Thats what i figured. Fixing threads isnt too hard
