Hey thanks! Just to let you know I did put the carpet back in guess I never said I did lol I do plan on taking it out and putting in some insulation under it to keep it warmer and quieter. I've seen some people on here get aftermarket carpets from jc witney, they are formed for your floor and you just trim to fit, I'll try to post some links when I get home they come out pretty good

I agree but its okay for me if you just take some pos and make it a wheeler, but finding nice 1st gens is getting really hard... I do have to admit it takes really good pics but it does need some work, when I get some money and another rig to drive i'll be doing some rust repair and painting it the same color as stock and also some stock decals, although I like 1st gen 2wd sr5 decals better

Thanks, I only paid $1900 with a bed full of bumpers, parts, and a set of 33/12.5/15 m/ts. Little more than I wanted to spend but I looked at so many in worse shape for more...
