Well back in December of 2001 Tony would fork out $2600 for a 1993 Toyota pick to use as a build up for his shop to prove just that. With things well on their way, Tony managed to put another $5500 in parts into his project along with much blood and sweat to finish it off. All in all it took a little over one year to complete and just goes went to show that there wasn't any project he couldn't handle.

Having watched many of times people around him perform body drops, Tony would go to prove all those around him that even though a first for him, it would also mean perfection. Tony would start tearing into the cab, frame and bed in order to complete his 4-inch body drop. He would monster notch and section the rear frame, weld in the bag brackets, notch the cross members and drop the core support. The steering box, battery and gas tank would also be raised and or relocated into the necessary locations.  Next Tony would install a reverse triangulated 4-link in the rear and Bell Tech spindles up front to help bring things down proper. With parts provided by WEC Air Systems, Tony would then install the Firestone air bags to give the toy some much needed lift. The bed would be equipped with a 10-inch drop with relocated bed mounts. With the bed raised, Lasaco wheel tubs would be installed to make room for the wheels. Helping to give the Toy a smooth ride would be the use of Doetch Tech shocks at every corner.
