So aside from teh 2-tone paint scheme, anything else "special" about the Edition??
And if all teh rust is gettin' fixed on this one, looks to me like it's gonna be 100 % glass by the end, lol. Dern cancer.

Special edition runners weren't that special at all actually. From what I have learned and seen so far, they all had the special two tone paint, nice seats (a little different than standard SR5 seats) and as far as I know they all had A/C and carpeting. Everything else is pretty much base model. My truck has base model interior door panels, rear panels, guages etc. I also heard it was an alternative choice to the SR5.

surface rust on heavy suspension pieces , is acceptable ..
but heres an inside view of the "stock" panels .. with some previous repairs .. some of you guys think ..welding in new steel works !!
WASTE OF MONEY .. like I have been tellin' you guys for years ...
so got the rears cut off ..
and started on the gate skin ..
did some POR 15 work on the truck as well as the gate ...
and "glued"
