I bought something because I'm dumb. I've been looking for a winter beater, and I found this '88 4Runner 5 speed on Craigslist a couple days ago. Looked at the thing, and was impressed with how solid the frame is (as well as the floors), and the interior is absolutely immaculate for a...

For those of you that don't know, a couple weeks ago I flew down to Georgia and drove back a 2001 Z71 regular cab short bed with 190,000 miles and most importantly, no rust. The truck wasn't quite as clean as I was hoping for, but whatever. It looks decent from 10 feet, and I can fix everything...

Looking for a RUST FREE 1999-2006 GMC or Chevy RCSB 4x4. Prefer '00-'02, but any GMT800 will do. V6 or V8, Automatic. Under 200,000 miles, preferably under 150,000. Looking to spend $5000 or less, but may be willing to spend more for the right truck. Willing and ready to travel...

Shot Gregg's other truck this weekend, it's fWONking awesome, obviously. Gregg's Dually by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Gregg's Dually by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Gregg's Dually by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Gregg's Dually by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Gregg's Dually by Dan Valanzola, on...

No, not the truck. That'd be stupid. Last summer I drank a lot of beer and made this, just got around to taking a picture of it today. Ok, this is stupid too. Bagged Scooter by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr :fingertime:

So last weekend I decided that the hardtop for the Miata was less fun than a motorcycle would be. So I sold the top and bought a bike for $125 less than I sold the hardtop for. 1980 Honda CB650 Custom, 19,000 miles, bone stock except for the hideous crash bars which will be removed as soon as...

After having a very poorly "colormatched" grille for the last two years, I finally nutted up and bought the right paint. The original plan was to sand smooth the textured black part of the original grille and paint it all green, but when I pulled my old chrome Tahoe grille out of the basement a...

In a week or so I'll be painting my grille the PROPER shade of green, and I'll also be painting my door handles and mirror caps. I'm not sure how I want to do the grille, so I figure I'll ask you assholes. All green: Chrome bar: What say you?

So last Tuesday I drove up to Gregg's after work, and took some photos. I've wanted to shoot this truck since I first met Gregg about 5 years ago, and everything finally worked out logistically. This thing is stupid clean, I love it. Gregg's Suburban by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr...

About two years ago I decided it was time to upgrade to some light 17s, and some good sticky tires. Shortly after this decision was made, I was given a 17" aluminum spare tire from an '07 Silverado as partial payment for helping a friend with his car. It was a good looking wheel, and when...

Shot my buddy's '04 STi at the end of winter break, here are the photos. Nick's 2004 STI by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Nick's 2004 STI by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Nick's 2004 STI by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Nick's 2004 STI by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Nick's 2004 STI by Dan...

So after almost 2 years I finally got an idle clip of my truck. For those of you that don't know, it's a 6.0 with a 216/224 .561/.563 114 LSA cam, longtubes, magnaflow cats, into a single 3" Borla XR1 (the 16" long oval case muffler). Excuse my ghetto exhaust hanger. The small amount of lope...

Well, I decided to give the truck some attention again. Over the last two days I've washed, clayed, and waxed, lowered the front another 1/2", and sprayed the front and rear bumpers and mirror caps with Plasti-Dip (basically just rubber, which can be peeled off if one so desires). I'm...

Well, I've finally come to my senses, and realized that my truck isn't going to be around a whole hell of a lot longer. I found out this winter that the two cross members that run over the gas tank have holes rotted in them. The rocker panel under the driver's door is completely gone, only...

Ok, I need some input from you guys. My friend just had her 2000 Tiburon overheat on the highway, and the engine is toast according to the shop it's sitting at (I haven't seen the car, I still want to take a look at it and see what's up). She's going to buy a new car this summer anyway...

Well, not so much of a build, but just a place to keep track of the progress. No major plans in the immediate future, but I can't just leave anything alone. This is how the car looked when I bought it: New Miata! by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Notice the many years of baked on bugs, and the...

Well after an approximately 275 mile drive home from Virgina back to NJ, there is finally an NA-body Miata in my garage. It's a white '92, 140,000 miles, NO rust whatsoever, I believe it's the B package (power windows, headrest speakers...), and a hardtop. The car definitely needs a good...

Threw the black steelies back on since I didn't feel like dealing with the noise of the MTZs on the 3-hour-each-way trip to go skiing on Saturday, and grabbed a couple of shots. Drove 3 hours up to the Catskills to go skiing, but the mountain closed down after our third run due to 70+ mph...

Hung out at my buddy's shop today, and snagged a few shots of his truck. Bitch is clean. Click for bigger. Bryan's '03 Sierra by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Bryan's '03 Sierra by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Bryan's '03 Sierra by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr Bryan's '03 Sierra by...

Well, because I like lowered trucks, and I like playing in this stuff too. :D2 Truck did awesome in about 8" of powder, just got a little bit accumulated underneath in places it didn't before. :lol:

My buddy got hit by a woman in his Lightning back in October, and it's up on ebay now. Doesn't look TOO bad, but the frame is bent, which totaled the truck. :(...

In Upstate NY on a ski trip, and snagged this shot of the truck. The internet will probably cut out about 7 times by the time this actually posts, so here it is. Untitled by Dan Valanzola, on Flickr

What a bitch that was. Wayyyy too much grinding for 2 days. Only thing to do now is find some shorter bumpstops, and possibly de-crank the front a bit. Before: After WAY too much work for only a 2" drop: And with a full tank of gas, and the spare back in the bed:
