Everything that can be said has pretty much already been said. Totally amazing. What really impresses me is that you're in your fourth year working on this project, that takes some serious devotion. You are an inspiration to the rest of us.

Inferno red .. a Chrysler color .. I dont know the paint code off hand , but if you check out the Chrysler 300 , or even the Dodge truck .. you'll find it . I have the mix code here , if you really want it , I can scan it and post it ? Just I didnt really figure anyone would be interested .

Awesome looking truck! Are those the original seats? They look more "contoured" than my '81 seats

yes they are decals , retro original .. we did them . (1 stop trekker Shop ) The truck rear flares are a little different then the trekker rear flares , so I wanted them to "fit" better then a "universal" decal .. so we did our own . also , the nice thing is we can do vertually any color combo you would want .

Thanks .. no , not original seats but /89 SR5 4Runner seats , so the passenger seat slides forward for the rear passengers + drivers seat has the lumbar support and all that jazz
