I have those light covers on my 92 truck, thought about taking them off but decided that if i did i would surely get a rock through my light. I think they look pretty cool and will definitely keep them on.

1st Gen side marker lights are getting expensive to find...these LED trailer lights($7.99ea @ NAPA) are just the ticket:

delayed response i got my seats out of a '94 4runner, into my '86 4runner. and yes they are still nice but they might be migrating into my '88 4runner.. not sure yet.

Tofer has a pretty cool set up on his 4runner. You will have to find pics though.
EDIT: Found one.

you can also take the middle seat belt (up front) out. i didn't want to cut anything, so just the buckle cam out, but you can cut the belt to get rid of that "awkward seat"

My auxiliary wire and ipod charger wires were pretty cheap. Also wired a second cigarette lighter with a usb adapter in it that has about 4 ports so i can charge different types of cellphones etc just by changing the usb cord.

Yup Sam is the man. My wife can't be a passenger, she gets car sic. And I rarely need to drive someone. So space for Sam it is.
