    That's actually the seat josh put in. I got tan leather merc seats out of a 190. kind of don't have the truck registered yet. Been needing to go to the police station to get my odometer verified so I can register it back on Florida. But been lazy. Haven't driven it in like two Weeks. Also want to sell my rims.

    SD, yours is set apart big time. They have rims and you have hub caps. :D its still cool as **** to have a group of low yota buddies. Coolest thing I've driven near lately was a lifted old FJ40 on the freeway today. I stalked it for about 7 miles lol. It was super cherry. Topless and doorless, had autometer gauges, wood grain steering wheel. I kept trying to give the guy a thumbs up or throw the TEQ wrist tattoo I have his way but he looked very interested by his Paul Mall. :lol:

    I've seen aftermarket wheels getting cheap. Could order something with a nice lip and offset for like $150 each in 17s. Probably a bit less for wide 16s. When I order new rims I'm getting roughly zero offset fronts and negative rears. It'll stick a few inches out of the body but I have a plan for that. Ill just say its me Macgyvering more Toyota parts onto my truck lol

    Yeah. Pretty much. Notary and signed by an officer stating the odometer matches the one on the paper. Thats it.
