    I believe the lug pattern is still the same up to the '09 Mustang. Not sure bout the 2010's, haven't seen one yet in person.

    Can't really do an SR5 cluster with the auto shifter, you need the PRNDL. Tach doesn't matter with the auto anyway.

    Not sure what year they are from. The guy I got them from had them on a 92 notchback and didn't like the offset.

    I really like the wheels but I am going to find some different center caps for them.

    I should see my anti sway bars sometime next week, That will be fun.

    I recieved and installed the Addco sway bars. The front was a pretty easy install, I removed the right torsion bar and the rest was easy. There are two holes on each a arm, the stock bar uses the front hole and a pretty long link. The Addco bar uses the rear hole and a much shorter link to make it alot stiffer.

    The rear bar install was a pain. You have to attach a bracket to the passenger side shock mount instead of mounting it to the frame. The axle brackets are pretty cheesy also.

    I liked the mounting of the bar on my old truck better. I wish I could have remembered what kind of antisway bars it had, oh well...

    The end result is pretty amazing handling for a truck . Combined with the KYB shocks it corners really flat. Now I just need some bigger wheels and tires. The stock tires scream pretty loud when taking fast corners.

    I was going to install the 18 inch Bullet wheels I bought but decided I don't want to use spacers. I also want a little more sidewall than an 18 gives. I want the same tire diameter as stock so I don't end up geared to high for the auto trans. The search is on for some 16's or 17's.

    I changed my motor mounts today and that cured the shudder in reverse completely. I also replaced most of my AC system and converted it to R134. It's nice and cold which is great because it's supposed to be 90 here today.

    Thats it for now.

    I'm just wondering how you like the shocks? I'm looking at getting some new front shocks.

    I love the shocks, even before I had the sway bars it was a night and day difference in handling.

    I got the shocks from www.tirerack.com they had the best price I could find.

    I got the Addco swaybars from some Ebay vendor. Addco was apparently out for a while, took a month to get them.

    I found a 92 4runner bumper and valance on craigslist last weekend and replaced my bent bumper today.

    I found the pigtails for the turn signals at the mini truck pick and pull. I had to go through about 10 4runners to find 2 that were good.

    Now that the AC and motor mounts are fixed this truck is really nice to drive. I just need to find some wheels and tires.

    Looks good! I see you took the rear bumber off. Thats one of the first things I did to mine. You should take the mud flaps off also, it looks even better.
