Pics of my CB mount and seat. Pass seat is being fixed. Ring and pinion and brake proportioning valve will be here today.(5:29's baby!) Been camping alot, and in the middle of some home projects, so not much work going on on the truck. A note on the CB install- Ground you bed and cab to the frame! This makes a big difference in the performance of the CB and the AM/FM radio. I was blown away by the difference. My cb shop has 1inch wide braided steel cord for grounding. I did 4 spots on the bed and 3 spots on the cab. Well worth the effort!

Thanks for the props! The red 92 had ball joint spacers, 1 inch body lift, 3 leaf Chevy 1/2 ton springs and larger t bars. In contrast my T100 has the bj spacers, 1 inch body lift and Tacoma lift shackles- The difference in ride is night and day! The larger t bars were a mistake and the Chevy rear springs flexed great, but rode very harsh for me. The T100 rides like my Tundra on the highway, hillbilly Cadillac! I think the key for me and the way I use my trucks is a low center of gravity and lots of trimming to fit the tires. Its not for everyone but I like it. Just my 2 cents

Going camping for a few days. Next will be bed bob, rear bumper, longer rear shock mounts and new Bilsteins, fender trimming for new tires. Think I am going to SAS the truck with a Dana 44. Need to many new front end parts to justify keeping the ifs. Found several around for sale in the $75 to $100 range. Stay tuned!
