    Jegs and Summit both have them for less. $68ish plus shipping instead of $74. Not a huge difference, though.

    I haven't updated this for a while. I have not done much to the truck lately except drive it.

    I did get a new windshield a few weeks ago, wow what a difference!
    I had some gift cards from 4Wheel Parts so I ordered a 15 inch Grant GT steering wheel and adapter.



    I am still looking for some wheels and tires that I like. Since I put new 14's on it the day I bought it there is no rush.

    I also painted the faded grey steering column cover black.

    SWEEET! the steering wheel plus the repaint makes it look great.

    I'd like a new windshield also. ITs got many many micro pits in it

    I finally found some wheels I liked for a good price.

    These are 16x7" 01 to 04 Mustang wheels. The tires are BFG Traction TA all seasons, 225x55x16. Since I have an automatic I wanted the same tire diameter as the 205x75x14's.

    Now I have some grip to go with my shocks and sway bars.

    I like how the new wheels are kind of a stylized version of the original hubcaps.

    Now I am thinking about lowering the truck a 2-3 inches. I am trying to decide what will give the best ride.

    Drop spindles or control arms, blocks or new rear springs.

    I want the best ride quality possible. I welcome your opinions!

    I posted pics of my 4runner seats in another thread but not this one.

    Seats are from a 95 4runner and have covers I got from Ebay. I also mounted the drivers side seatbelt to match the passenger side.

    very nice! you're a step ahead of me! love the great work. the front end looks great. I should run wheels like that too!

    the fact they DO look like the stylized hubcap amazes me

    I think bringing it down 2-3 is exactly what it needs. I like the new wheels.

    After a couple of 500 mile roadtrips I was not enjoying the 2nd gen 4runner buckets.

    Yesterday I installed these

    These are from a 2001 4runner with only 20,000 miles. Took most of the day to get the brackets right but they are really comfortable.
