    looking good man. i also have a hardbody (95) under construction. i have to say in my opinion the toyota is a lot easier to work with. the nissan has a lot more room in the cab tho n 4wd fenders on em look bomb. i just love my yota too much lol. ill have to post up some pics

    Il have to look for that taco.

    Stihlalive- honestly it seems like i just dont have enough room to sit comfortably. Im sure the bench seat doesnt gimme as much room as buckets thats why i want to swap it out. Jus need to find some nice ones. I know the nissans are easier to bag just cuz theres no z needed to lay flat but the yotas are just sexier

    really? i thought the bench was pretty spacious, i grabbed some path seats n its about the same, maybe a little lower. and yes the toyotas r ofcourse. as soon as im done fixing some frame sections im gonna focus on my 93 pickup

    Honestly the buckets seem to offer more room. U sit down lower and farther back and theres still room behind the seats. Thats and i can have a center console that im so damned used to

    Hey I checked this out earlier today and I am thinking about stealing the idea. I think it is an awesome basic center console. Would look good cover in plaid huh? haha. What type of wood is that?

    Flared the bedsides like 2 inches. not too obvious but the tires wont rub if i turn hard. they used to be flush with the wheels
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    and i flipped the tow ball upside down since i got pulled over cuz "it obstructs the license plate"
    [​IMG]

    And a couple shots i took with the ammo box as the arm rest/center console

    I know some might not like the fabric i chose but its different and it has BLACK & RED:evil:
