That could be an option, the final details on the interior design haven't been set in stone.

I put the painted mirror covers and the painted front plate on then washed the iQ. The body kit and wheels should be on this week.

One step closer...picked up the tires today from the TOYO distribution center in Ontario. Proxes 4, 215/40/18.

Joe "TOYOJO" who has worked for Toyo for 28 years helped me out. What a great guy. It's an 800,000 square foot warehouse, just incredible.

I installed the wheels, tires and body kit today with the help of my buddy Rodney. Many thanks to FIVE:AD, TOYO, AirRunner and 742 Marketing for getting this portion of the build completed.

LOL. Thanks. It's a 1982 with 40,000 original miles. My Grandfather was going to leave it to me in his will so I bought it from him. Now I get to enjoy the truck and him at the same time.

Thanks to O-NEX the iQ is now running 6K HID headlights and 3K HID fog lights along with a cool pair of daytime running lights. I installed all the lights today and I'm very happy with the results.
