Well here's how it looked when we bought the Rig. 160K miles good shape but the interior was pretty beat up and it needed some maintenance.
I replaced the carpet with a carpet kit online, but shame on me if I was expecting that to be easy. The thing came in one big square that was "formed" or "molded to the car... HA! That was a total pain in the ass, one I'm glad was only a one time thing.
I also replaced the front seats with some perforated leather ones out of an 02, I think this specific leather was a dealer option as they were also mechanical seats not power.
The routine maintenance was performed as well oils, fluids, and grease's as all over the place. As well as new joints and a re-balanced driveshaft. And some much needed new nitto rubber. Then a few weeks later the starter went out on me after a football game.

Also somewhere in there I upgraded the old 231mm Tundra calipers for some red power stop ones that I purchased off rock auto. They were an upgrade over the napa re-mans for sure.
I also picked up a '99 4cyl auto from a friend for cheap since it needed a new head, exhaust manifold, and seals everywhere. So that was my learning project and to make a little extra cash.
Next up I had to replace my rear axle seal. Was surprisingly easy but I went to like 3 auto parts store's to find the dang seal.
And then I was mind boggled when one of my headlights went out, I replaced the light and still had nothing, so I checked the old bulb and it wasn't blown... I started checking voltages and was completely lost. Well after a couple of hours of this crap I went to the fuse box and discovered that there are individual headlight fuses, I had no clue so I pulled them out and the passenger was popped, new one in and lights were good to go again.

Yeahhhhhhh..... But it still looks pretty cool and I don't trust that rain wont get in and I've got nothing on the roof to and it has a slightly lower profile backwards. Looks kinda goofy forward, attracts to much attention I think.
