    has it been a while ?


    so more today ..
    headliner is in , but my camera wouldnt take a very good pic , sorry , you'll have to wait on that one ...
    I was in a bit of a delima about the visors .. what to do .. ??? my uhpolstery guy said he really didnt want to do them because of the "clip" mount , and it's difficult I guess . Toyota has only a couple left and only in TAN @ like 30.00 bucks ea !! anyway .. I was looking at my 90 4Runner and looked at its visors .. right color , and in great shape .. so I cleaned them up , and changed the mounting hardware , and used them .. they color matched perfect , and fit great .. pics of those also will have to follow ..

    also got the windshield in

    Been watching this a while, but havent said anything. This really looks amazing. I really like the seats too. But the truck as a whole is just, great!
