Fun friday first gen poll

If money, skills, and material werent of concern. What would you change about you truck?

apparently, i cant make polls, but

*body/wheels appearance
*interior
*exterior (for large tires)
*chassis
*drivetrain
*towing
*milage
*handling
*other (make a good thing better)

 

Drivetrain. This was my grandfather's truck and he bought the 4.0 v6 for gas mileage. I want the 4.7. I have suspension upgrades coming soon. Besides that I love this thing.

 

Mine would have a new rust proof aluminum alloy frame, an 800+ HP 6.5L Ferrari V12, 6-speed manual tranny with a gated shifter, independent rear suspension, leather bucket seats, panoramic sun roof and be able to tow 10k lbs, exceed 200 mph and have a submarine mode where I could bypass Boston traffic by cruising through the Harbor.

 

I voted exterior. I wish I had 4 full doors and white kind of sucks. I don't hate it, but it would look better if it was a different color. My friend was recently in town visiting and had not seen my truck since I've made all the improvements. He finished complementing it and ended with "but what do you think about the color".... he didn't mean it as an insult but it stung a bit and made me laugh.

Runner up would be interior. There are a few creature comforts I would like.

 

The great irony there is that I really don't think the V6 gets much better gas mileage. Your still pushing the same amount of weight. At least you have the 4.0 though. That's a good engine from what I hear.

 

Can I quote that in my signature line?

 

I knew you'd appreciate that. Don't expect me to admit this often!

 

I'd like a Toyboata

 

Really the only thing I would change is the drive train. I should have got a 4wd. I will make that happen when time allows.

The body I love except maybe for the belt molding. Would look better without that.

Interior is okay although I would love a pair of Mastercraft seats and a console rather than my bench. I don't need fancy shit but that would add comfort. Some day I will throw in a more up to date head unit with Bluetooth and Android or whatever, would be nice to have navigation in my dash rather than in my cup holder.

Everything else is fine for me.

 

I voted exterior, I love the blue mica steel color, but the hood is faded and some panels don't match up (from and accident before I bought it)

Since we're talking big dreams, supercharger, locking differentials and camper shell with decked system!

For the $750 sequoia, basically everything

 

I vote 'other', which in my case would mean just build it into a full blown Trophy Truck.

 

It doesn't at all. The sticker says 18 city 22 highway but I never get that. But it is a little more powerful than the 3.4 v6 and they still use the 4.0 in the new 4runners.

 

On a more realistic side, 4 wheel drive would make it tits, and tits make me happy, so yeah.

 

Other. I just want it to run right. And stop leaking. And quit peeling.

 

Performance

Full 6.2 swap out of a caddy CTS-V for me. 6-speed and all!

 

Manual instead of automatic transmission. :-/

 

Where would "I want more payload" fall?

 

Bonus points to who fixed this. Much thanks.

 

Would love to have 4wd but on second thought, probably keep from breaking a lot of parts solely because I dont offroad much lol

 

Exterior...I mean, suspension, bumpers/winch, sliders, skid plates, exhaust, and a better camping set up is all on the exterior, right?

 

Oh... If money were no option I'd add one of these. Vagabond Drifter

 

I would like to have better turning radius, and better MPG.

 

Only gripe with this truck is the god awful rounded interior… it didn’t age well.

 

Supercharge that bad boy!

 

Tacoma ECU, TRD supercharger and a TRD flash. You’d end up with more power than the 4.7 by a lot, and ultimately be cheaper

 

Performance! Either of these would be sweet

The only thing I can think of is getting rid of that open diff and installing a Truetrac limited slip differential.

 

I would do a complete paint job
Then 4wd conversion since money and skills aren’t a factor

 

Lol, nobody voted towing or handling.

i want a longbed, rear coils and discs from a sequoia, and engine swap of the day would be a big turbo 1kd.

still havent ordered parts, but next up is the front end and valve cover gaskets.
