Looks good. I wish my dad had helped me build a rig as my first vehicle.

What sort of lights are you thinking about getting?

[montanatoy [OP]]

If you mean offroad lights i already have some piaa 520s for the front bumper and gona put all stock lights back on side markers etc. 

Thanks my Dad is pretty cool!

Nice truck. I was wondering what kind of liner did you put in the interior? Did you roll it on or spray it on? I need to get around to do it to my 82. Looking good by the way.

[montanatoy [OP]]

its a roll on liner its the herculiner i bought it from orielys for $80 it seems to be working pretty good

[montanatoy [OP]]

with the  rear bumper do the mounts need to be moved since i have a 2in BL??

[GJToyotabug]

you could call and see if they can make it 2" higher but i im just guessing

[montanatoy [OP]]

the truck is finally in primer got it primered on tuesday nite now its time to start wet sanding

[montanatoy [OP]]

gjtoyotabug i ordered the rear bumper on monday along with 5in shackels n ext ss brakelines my order might be shipped out already prob will have to do some cutting and  if it doesnt fit rite with the BL

[THK Matt]

the only reason i havent bought any AP or MC bumpers is due to the fact i have a 3in BL.



glad to see the truck in primer.

[montanatoy [OP]]

i have a 2in BL n hopefully it will fit or else well be cutting and  the brackets so it fits

im glad its in primer to the wet sanding isnt going to be to fun but oh well finally getting somewhere on my truck

[THK Matt]
