We built the flatbed to be easily removable. 2 bolts on each side in the back mount to the frame(a 3/8 inch thick piece of steel plate welded to the rear bumper bolts to the frame).

94 4runner seats are so comfortable. $75 for the pair. I only had to drill a few holes and use some washers as shims on the passenger side to mount them.

I have the same seats. They are suprisingly awesome for factory buckets.

I know, they are amazingly comfortable. I love having a truck from 1980 that is this comfortable to sit in

Decided to paint the rims gloss black. I like the look of my truck way more like this. I also installed Longfield Lifetime Wiper Seals. Dem balls be  :bling:  Now I can rock a Longfield sticker too! "Yeah, it's got Longfields.....(cough)..wiper seals."

I painted my rims with the same paint my Dad used. He only put 2 coats on and none his have chipped in 4 years. You have to use Rustoleum Gloss Protective Enamel(you can buy it at Wal-mart). I tried Krylon first and it chipped instantly! go with the Rustoleum

I plan on improving the suspension this winter(without spending copious amounts of $$). Right now the truck rides rougher than heck with the stock suspension and new Rough Country POS shocks. I'm gonna start with f150 or 63 inch chevies in the rear and bilstein shocks. I assume the rear will be way cheaper to upgrade at this point, and i can still drive the truck with the front left stock.

Decided to go with something different than everyone else....DUALLY Conversion!! :shocking:Sorry I have no project pics for this, just the end result :bowdown: Amazingly, it was quite an easy modification IMO. I'm only worried about needing more power now to turn that extra 150 or so pounds of rotating mass, but it's BEEF! Workin that 22R :driving: :flamer:
