    The fit really well. Wasn't too hard to make work. Only thing is they sit up a little higher than the original seats. I tend to lean back pretty far so it's not that bad... Robert is quite a bit shorter than I am, so he actually likes it better with the new seats.

    BMW seat are WAY more comfortable... lol

    Drove the rest of the old gas out of Robert's truck. Added octane boost and a full tank of 91. Replaced plugs and plug wires. Tighted up a bunch of loose shit on the air intake tube. Plugged the hole I found in the air intake box, and replaced the air filter.

    I think this bitch is ready to go back for smog.

    Took it to our mechanic. He can't find a fault code or any reason why it should not have passed.

    That sux, I may be in the same boat if Nevada makes me smog my 4runner. It was sitting for over a year because the PO lost the keys and it still has a half a tank of gas. Hope you figure out this mess.
