How is the power/driving loss with the 285s in your opinion?

Overall not too bad IMO. I have the Locking Rear Diff, so my gear ratio is 4.30 which does help. They definitely take a little more to move but I haven't noticed anything extreme.
 
I finally got my new grab handles on today!

Did part one of the big 3. The ground from the battery to the chassis was literally falling apart after 15 years. Replaced both the terminals with some marine terminals while I was at since the old ones were looking pretty beat. Finished right when it was getting dark.

Those aren't that bad! They look a touch lighter than OEM tan leather.

If they're synthetic and markedly less than the $700 USD for a set of fronts that US Seats wants I might be interested.

I got it around 400 dollar and they are synthetic. They are lighter than OEM tan but to me they look good. If you look at those last picture I had them steam so all the wrinkles came out and was to me perfect than my ugly seats before. PM if you are interested or know anyone want to group buy them. Maybe we can cut a better deal if it was a group buy.
 
Where di you buy those seat covers from? My OEM leather is in poor shape and I could like to replace it too.

PM me. I know an upholster that gave me a good deal. I know my OEM was pretty bad and I decided to restore it, but the prices out there was to high. I got a really good deal. Another member wants these seat covers also they are a bit lighter than OEM, but still look good. If you want we could do a group buy where it will be cheaper than anyone else supplying it.
 
Super nice day out today so i got her all cleaned up, but when going through the wash i had a brain fart and forgot to power down my radio and left my perfectly working antenna up and it got bent back and broke in half. I was proud that its lasted 19 years and still worked.

Looking into a new one on Dallas Toyota parts site and I'm trying to figure out which mast i need to buy to fix it. Could some one point me into the right part # please. I have a 1998 limited. And the two part numbers i see are

86309-0C020 Which is manual

Or

86337-35111 which is power

I did a lot of work on the new 4Runner yesterday, but didn't take a ton of pictures. I replaced the timing belt and water pump as well as everything else that comes in the Aircabinman kit from eBay (minus crank and cam seals), the radiator, fuel and air filter, oil change to Mobil 1 synthetic, new Zerex coolant, emptied the trans oil from the pan. Pretty productive day and only took me around 5-6 hours for it all! I ran out of time to do the spark plugs and wires, so I will have to do those next week...maybe the external trans cooler too.
