    Do you live near there? They have some grey leather 2002 4runner front seats that I want, but I'm never in DM to look at them. And I'm not sure if it's a pair or just one.

    You guys know a good mechanic that's not a rip off? I'm nervous about installing the leafs myself. It looks like a project that'll piss me off.;)

    That would be great. I don't want to drive down just to find out they are ripped up or something. They don't know much on the phone.

    I know, but it doesn't appear to currently natch my skill set. I discovered years ago that time was most valuable over most anything else. After watching videos, it looks like I might be able to save major time and cussing if I have someone else do it. :)

    Hah, yea nothing wrong with that. Did you find a replacement pack or are you just gonna let the shop find it? I hate to say it, but Toyota of DM would for sure be a good place.

    I'm going down to Merrill today to see what the options are. Toyota? I've seem quotes from dealers that are outrageous. I was looking quite heavy at those wheeler 5 packs, but maybe Merrill has a better option? Hopefully my other packs don't break on the way down there.:)

    Wouldn't be cheap, but it would be done right, to factory spec. Taking those Wheelers down to Merrill to have them installed will be awesome though, a huge upgrade over stock.

    Yeah I heard a quote for 2100 bucks at a dealer from another TW member. At that price, I'd flirt with doing it myself all day long.

    I am going to the Tall Corn offroad event this weekend. Planning to be there Friday and Sunday for sure. I may be there Saturday afternoon/evening as well. I will be taking my 85' 4Runner. Anyone else going? You can pay at the event.

    Please tell me Livingstons. That place has always been great to me. And I have known Denny since he grew up with my Dad.

    Well I mean another Toyota Truck frame, but I have a pretty capable midsize 4Runner! You know of anywhere local for wheeling?
