Doesn't look challenging...looks kinda boring...prefer AZ Boys terrain.

I thought I read some comments from you recently that you prefer "whoosie wheeling"? LOL.

Looks like some cool rigs. Random question but how have you liked the different tire setups you’ve run over the years?

Hard to beat the Procomp MT2 tires. Cheap and they work incredibly well. As for wheels, no DIY beadlocks unless it’s trailer only. Steel wheels work well for Me. 8’s hold the bead better but 10’s give a nice wide footprint.
I’m extremely happy with My 35” MT2’s on steel 8” wheels. No plans to change anytime soon.

I need a drivers side wing window with the frame. They kind of come as a unit.
Anyone have a smashed door with a good wing window?  :crossed:
Figured I would try here first.
Thanks

Starting My console, twin stick, seal up the extra hole in the floor project.
Waiting on My twin sticks to show up from FROR.
Pulled out the fancy console I scored a few years ago. Guy I bought it from told Me it was custom made for Him at Marlin long ago.
Anyone know if this was something they used to do?
I need to clean it and paint it gray. Recommendations for interior paint color and brands to match the factory grey interior.

The grey doesn't have to match exactly.

The interior greys were all slightly different depending on the part (seat, carpet, vinyl, plastic).

So you only need to get close, and make it look good.

Found a local distributor of Lo’s brand of interior paint.
I need to take a piece of my original console in with Me to color match it.
I think next week I can find the time to source the paint.

Finally I have a set of twin sticks from FROR. I have wanted these for a very long time. Nice quality made part from what I can tell so far.
Now I just need to find a good piece of metal to use for the floor hole correction.
Anyone that has these I have a question. I received the rubber boot for the floor but it didn't come with the metal ring? Am I missing it or do You have to come up with something on Your own?

Do not see how either of those products would benifit you considering they're made for their shifters and they do not make Toyota stuff.

Sounds good, gives me a excuse to put the truck back together. Never been because that place was never worth the long drive to get there. Pics and videos of it know looks like a can be fun.
