    Wow, that truck looks great. I didn't even know these had an option for leather. Good find!

    You could get cloth or leather from the factory. A friend of mine has the same year and hers is the same leather on the seats and door paneling. Plus, tons that I looked at buying had the leather as well.

    Nice. Tool is my favorite band of all time. I wanted to get tickets to the Charlotte, NC show, but they sold out within minutes of going on sale. I'd ask you about the set-list, but it would probably be too painful to know what I missed, haha.

    P.S. Nice 1st gen. That thing is spotless.

    Snorkel, supercharger, better suspension components, and probably HID & led lighting. Everyone seems to talk up the Bilstein 5100, any opinions? I need something to handle harsh on and off roading for my mail route.

    Thank you!! Yeah, I love Tool, one of my all time favorites as well. I will say Jambi and Opiate were awesome to see. I wish they would've played Reflection and Right In Two! In ATL, there was a dude in a banana suit towards the back and Maynard was calling out to him! LOL

    You know what that means....time for a lift :evil:

    I had the same issue yesterday when I took her out for the first time, fortunately I didn't get stuck but came close, we were in the middle of nowhere too

    We ended up running about 3 miles and flagged down a 4x4 TRD Tundra and he pulled us out. Before that we tried for about an hour and a half to dig out ourselves out.

    lol yikes, glad it all worked out. I purposefully avoided mud pits my first time yesterday, I've seen some of the most capable looking trucks around get stuck in mud, once your tires are caked you're pretty much done for. Do you think it was primarily a clearance issue, or traction?

    At any rate a lift will look great and help all around...I'll keep an eye on what other suggest as we both have first gens and I'm looking to lift eventually, too. The amounts of options/combinations out there is overwhelming
