The official name is "Chuckwagon III". My mom named my dad's '86 Civic "The Chuckwagon" and his '89 4Runner "Chuckwagon II", so I have the new chuckwagon lol
Lug nuts came! They look great with the black wheels
I'm getting my tires tomorrow! We have sold the Michelins for $300- not bad for 7 year old tires
Rear sway bar end links are making really bad noises and new ones have been ordered.
The rear springs sit low compared to the front, so a 1.5" spacer kit may be coming soon...
Before we put the grill and new headlight on:
After:
I put in the new ignition cylinder today, so I won't have to jiggle and flip the key around anymore.
I painted the middle skid plate and will paint the front one after I clean it some more.
That's all I have for now, but I'm sure I forgot something

The '99 coils have ten coils; the '98 coils have nine coils (on the front springs) and are both color coded blue and yellow on the passenger side. |
Nice! Do you have any more pics of the 2nd gen mudflaps installed? I would love a set of those on my truck!

They don't fit perfectly with the bottom center bolt hole molded into the mudflap, so there is a gap on the side. You could lessen the gap by drilling a hole farther over in the bottom of the bumper or making a bracket. I used the existing holes in the bumper and cut holes in the flaps for the bolts to go through with a knife. In the 4th picture, it shows where I will be drilling a hole in the body to secure the other side of the mudflaps. That will pull the mudflaps straight so they aren't slightly angled.
The pair I got came off a rustbucket and took off a chunk of the bumper when I twisted one of the bolts lol. There is metal inside them and I tore it all out leaving just the rubber.

Pictures of the middle skidplate. Purple is on the bottom and red is on the top. The skid plate and brake drums are all painted with the same cans of paint my dad used on his '89 10+ years ago
I will be getting the following parts next weekend: Ashtray, passenger door weatherstripping, spare tire tools, and base model rear mudflaps.

What a transformation!

Thanks!
TBH, I just like the plain look better- they were also faded, loose, and some were damaged. I am glad I took them off though, because I found some rust behind them and they were in the process of wearing the paint off in the non rusty places.

We put on some new sway bar end links for the rear. The old ones were loose and made an awful noise. The new ones are AcDelco and are MASSIVE. They were $20 a piece on amazon with free shipping. The ride is so much better and the truck looks level now.
They needed a little encouragement ;)
Old vs. New
Installed
Added a gauge 4 ground wire- Duplicolor Perfect Match isn't very perfect but looks better than rust lol
Poser pics
I attached the mudflaps with a bolt through the body so they are straight now

Saturday, I got base model mud flaps, weather stripping, the spare tire tool, a coil pack, and a intake tube from a guy named Jason (thanks if you are reading this) all for $30. I dropped the spare and it is the original- lots of deep cracks on the sidewall. I aired it up and the valve stem is leaking so it is pretty much useless. Probably won't put on the mud flaps for a while because the 4WD ones look so sweet. The coil pack is for a spare if one goes bad. I will be doing the ISR mod when we do the valve cover gaskets so I have a spare tube if I mess up.
All for now,
Chuckles

Today, I adjusted the clutch pedal and added a spring to it. It goes into gear much better and the pedal comes all the way up now. I also added a spring to the brake pedal to help it come up faster too.
I scraped most of the paint protection sticker things from where the flares were- now there are just grooves in the paint.
The spare tire is on the roof because I wanted to clean the under-body behind the axle. Probably putting it back under the truck tomorrow. I will be getting a used 235/85/16 tire soon for the spare.
It's coming together nicely!
