oh, and i found some mustang buckets on cl. the guy wouldn't sell me just the front seats, so i'm getting the front two and the back all for $150. hopefully, i can pick them up this weekend

when are you (theoretically) getting the seats?
haha i love to see the look on peoples faces when you tell them you have (insert part here) in your truck/4runner lol.

Hopefully the seats will be mine sometime this weekend or more realistically next week but we shall see.

Good luck with your seats!

I was debating on picking this guy up, fixing his head gasket and re-selling him for a profit, i'm gonna call him today to see what tranny it has, if it was driven hot, etc.

Well i'm sure it's the 3.0, did they offer anything in the 95's besides that? And if the headgasket is blown its most definitely the 3.0 lol I just really hope its stick.

So i figured while i have the SR5 gauge cluster and i have to replace the lights anyway, i might as well put some blue LED's in there. So that's what i'm going to do.

Yeah they are going on the 4Runner. And they came off a first gen 4Runner, so i'm sure they'd fit mine.

Thanks! I'm debating on stripping the paint off them (its all flaking off anyway) and painting them gunmetal with a yellow lip, but i may wait until after the winter, the salt and snow would wear all the paint off anyway.

I've been searching for a while now, i can't figure out what brand they are! I posted a thread up here asking what kind they were but it got deleted. It doesn't say anywhere on the wheels unless they are just that dirty that i don't see it. I'm gonna clean them up and take a better look.

Well that's why i got them for my DD wheels and tires, so they could take some abuse. The 33's and wheels that they are on are going to be saved for when i need them (the trails)!
