Are you replacing the front and rears?

I have the 14" 255/70 and 12" 255/70 Billies on mine. They seem just right on my junk.

Yep, front and rear.
Cool, I think the 255/70s will be good. They gotta be better than what I'm pulling off!

Went to a local salvage yard yesterday to get an e-brake cable for the truck. Ended up finding two 93 4runners and a 96 4runner, got the e-brake and a couple other items. Pulled the seats (real nice), carpet, seatbelts, couple of dash pieces, and e-brake cable from the '93s. Ended up paying $100.00 for everything, I thought this was a pretty good score. Don't have any before pics of the interior, but it was fairly rough, vinyl bench seat, hot ass metal floor, broken seatbelt, chopped up dash.
Installed yesterday and thought it came out pretty nice.

Looks awesome Todd! Did those rigs have the plastic for around the steering wheel and the turn signal/wiper control arms by any chance?

Not sure if it is open tomorrow, if it is I might be able to run out there in the AM and pull those for ya. If not, maybe next weekend, I'll let ya know.

The wiper control is for a 4runner (back window control) but hopefully it will work still on you truck. I had to politely talk him out of it, he wanted to sell me the entire column but ended up getting what ya needed.

Or maybe a spray mister that sprays in the cab on hot wheeling days. :)

I use to have a 91' mighty max 4x4 (no cab) I turned the windshield sprayers out to the side and would blast the assholes on fourwheelers that would try and pass you on trails.

got a few more things done while waiting on parts. Added a center console and hand throttle control. Throttle control was pretty easy, got a brake handle from Academy ($8) and a longer cable from a bike store (6$). Works pretty good, I'll have to see how it works out on the trails.

Made some extra tall jackstands out of aluminum, needed them to be able to lift the truck to do some suspension work.
