Good luck on the JY finds!!! I gotta hit some up around here. Wanna do the SR5 gauge swap.
As for the helpers, I have mine on the back side of the springs...I have the hoop end by the axle and leading out the back. Now you got me thinking I have them not installed properly. Hmmmm but I'm pretty sure that's what the directions said. Really donno if it makes that much of a difference.

You will see it sometime lol I'm thinking the weekend after next would be good to paint the truck. Is that good for you?

ha my bad man but another question about the paint. did you just get the acrylic enamel paint kit? was there anything else you need? 71 bucks for the whole kit seems kinda low to me. lol

I ordered a second thing of reducer as well but yeah its just the acrylic enamel paint. And yeah $71 is low but people on here paint their trucks for $50 lol. Not to mention I know my truck isn't a glam truck and I don't think yours is either. lol Just remember this, 95% of a good paint job is in the prep work.

LOTS OF PICS, SWIMMER! LOL. .....i mean, pics of the trip and the painting! 
Can't wait to see this...that other yellow one was REALLY nice, ....I bet it turns out great. Heck, at least the weather should be good for painting when you do it, right? DANG, 71$? That's a great deal....I was looking at Sunshine Yellow after you posted that....nice and bright! Where are you getting the plaid material from?

Yeah i think the paint will come out good. At least I hope so lol. As for the plaid, i'm not sure yet. I'd like to get the seats re-stuffed as they are looking rather flat lol

Yeah, that happens, especially on the drivers seat. You can eventually get SR5 seats, too, ....ask Flecker if there's a difference! lol. But yeah, that's another project for another day, ...just a thought, since you're thinking of spending money on the stuffins.
Dang, right here in the Peoples Republic of Los Angeleeeeeez, fabric and upholstery guys are a dime a dozen...in fact, just down in Mexico, ...IT'S CHEAP for some good work. PA?....not so sure, but I'd BET there's lots of competition with the economy the way it is. Actually, there are some REALLY nice custom Covers, on line, ....maybe you could get a basic restuff and then get checkin for some Plaid Covers on line....that way you can wash em every 10,000 miles or so, eh? Heck, I get my covers at Big Lots, ...they get them from Target, and they ALWAYS have TONS of different patterns. Not sure about plaid, ...but who knows.
Good luck on that, happy surfing!

AND YES, TONS OF PICS.....hahaha. I'm sure 92 and xxxtreme will as well. it's just, ...the more you take, the more you leave room for "OH CRAP, ....I THOUGHT THIS CAME OUT"-mishaps, lol. Actually.....I admit it, I love photography and try my best to always capture wherever I go from many different perspectives(lots of random-candid shots, etc.).
Hope you have fun man, ....just a couple days, and WOW, already gonna have some good homies havin yer back when you need a PA-hand! lol.

As you can see, it can get pricey..... but I BET you could get close if you just kept your eyes open on line and at Pep Boys, Auto Zone, O'rielys, etc.
