Heck, I don't blame him for wanting the '89! Sounds like a solid truck for him though. So your son is working on his eagle project? Me and my dad are Eagle Scouts (I got mine February 2014 and his was 1980 or 81).

Congrats. I noticed you are OOA too. So is he. I'm really proud of him. Will be more proud when he finishes...

Thanks! One word of advice is to not let him work on his truck until he finishes. If I had gotten Illzoni's first gen 4Runner, I probably would have never made Eagle. For example, Black Friday 2012 I ordered some computer parts and my dad hid them until I finished a part of my project book that I had been putting off for weeks/ months. Let's just say I finished it in an hour. All the bugging of my parents was really annoying at the time, but as I look back, if they didn't do it, I wouldn't have finished.

LBJs/ TRE Boots
Finished up the cotter pins this morning. She's all ready to go!
The old ones. They are really loose and have a lot of up and down movement. As far as I know, they have 250,xxx miles on them. (I cut off the boot on this one to see what they are like)
The worst of the bolts. My dad's parts guy only got us 4 bolts, so I put 2 new ones on each side and reused the other two.
Pitman Arm Puller for LBJs and Tire Rod Puller for TREs
New!

I like the sound of the exhaust, what is the part number on that muffler. I looked backed through the thread but did not see a part number.

I drove it today with the front sway bar off and I couldn't tell a difference at all! That just shows how shot the factory shocks were at 248,xxx miles!
I'm probably going to put it back on to help make the new shocks last as long as possible.

Lights!/ Seat Brackets
All Lights on
No Headlights
I switched the seat brackets from my old seats to the new ones. The 1996-98 brackets fold down farther than the 99+ ones. A side note- the brackets for the seat backs are diffrent too. 1999+ seat backs are not even close to being able to work with 1996-98 mounting points. (sorry if this doesn't make sense lol)
(closest to the camera has the old brackets. there is at least an inch diffrence)
