    Bone stock. For now.
    I think there are a few companies that sell a direct replacement vinyl liner. Seems much easier than bed liner.

    I made two of them ... The 1st one I made last year I was not happy with. So I made a few changes.

    I think the hubs look good red just like the old style aisin hubs. I also think the emblem looks good red, I'm a fan of accent colors...bottom line, it's your truck

    I think the red Aisin hubs on early 90s trucks are the same hub, just painted red. That's the look I was going for with them anyways.

    Very, very nice truck by the way!

    Has anyone tried Purple Ice for a coolant additive? Did it help any?

    Only in Motorcycles... worked great. dunno that I'd try it in our coolant system though... unsure if it's compatible with Toyota red coolant. (mixing coolants causes sludge)

    what parts did you go with?

    I need to replace both inner tie rods and the passenger outer tie rod. I'm debating to just get some auto-zone cheap parts because I need a new rack but don't have the money to spend on one at the moment, but those tie rods do need replacing, especially since it will take me a couple months till i get a new rack. I have to much play in the rack and a slow leak coming from the seals which is why it needs replacing.

    Installed the eibachs on my bilstein shocks today. Had ome coils but decided to level out the truck and match the coil with the shock. Drove down the road and had no vibrations but a weird hissing noise from the front end. Sounded like slight metal on metal continuously after speeds of 10 mph. I have a diff drop kit ordered maybe it'll solve the problem.

    Had a nice Sunday morning. Replaced my old rear brake line with the Wheeler's SS line. Then went to put on my new ToyTec Shackles (set at 1.5") and decided I'd better cut the exhaust tip off first so it didn't hit.

    After wheeling around pretty tough w/ Johnboy and Garlicnation yesterday I started hearing some noises from the front end. Need new driver LBJ and 2x new outer tie rods. How do I check inner tie rods?

    Sweet thanks great picture bro. After looking at the pictures I took I wasn't to impressed with my photography skills lol. But I'll upload a couple later today.

    If the boot is leakin it's gettin changed IMO. Just checked all of them when I got home. I had to look at the LBJ like two or three times cause the leak was kind of hidden. Same concept as cv axles. Sure it will still work with the boot ripped until some dirt gets in and makes it fail. I would check your UBJ's LBJ's and OTR's. Have you done your rack bushings yet?
