That almost looks too good to take offroad!
Seriously, that's an awesome paint job. What are your plans for the interior? I know you mentioned bed liner but what about the dash and doors? Mine are cracked and nasty.

Im not sure. the interior is actually decent except the seats. I have some toyota celica seats im putting in, ill get some pics to show.
The seats are going to look great. I rolled the bed liner on the inside of my cab last week and it turned out great, I highly recommend it.

Ya I have some pics. I will post some tonight. I am putting the inside all back together now. The prep was a pain, but the result is way worth it. I had the tar/sound barrier on the ground and back wall. It took for ever to get off.

Aaron, looks good man. I'm finally gonna start on mine next weekend.
I'm guessing you painted it with a gun?

The back wall was really plyable, thus being a pain to remove. For the back I used a heat gun and a putty knife. The floor was really dry and chipped easy. For that I used a putty knife and hamer, no heat. It just chipped off. Once the back wall was scraped, there was still some crap on the wall so I used lacqure thinner and it came right off.

Well I think things are going to change.
I just picked up a really clean 88' runner now my dilemma is what do I do. Should I swap everything over to the runner or not.
Pros:
Runner has more room for me (6'1") and the family
brand new 22re
i always wanted one
Cons:
swapping everything
little extra $ to get the parts that are needed
time I put into the truck
what do you guys think?

I love the 1st gens, BUT i would trade mine in for a 4runner any day. Being 6'2" just is not fun while on a trail all day in a first gen. Go with the runner
