    Look at the nastiness, I've never seen so much dog hair in a vehicle, looked like they used it as a dog house.

    Seats removed, interior cleaned and cleaned again. Me and my girl have a solid 8 hours cleaning up this mess but turned out really good. Seems like all the hair was protecting the actual material.

    Took it in and installed a stock style muffler. The PO was running a glass pack of some sort and sounded like shit, to me anyway. It still is a little louder than what I wanted but much better. Does anyone know why, someone told me that maybe they hollowed out the cat...

    Took off all the stickers from back window and tailgate, put a mule deer sticker I had laying around but not 100% sold on it, looks too big for the little window, might be coming off soon...

    I had a set of 3rd gen 4runner Limited wheels that I thought would look cool on the taco. I decided to give them a darker look from the oem silver. First step was to clean and degrease. After they dried I wiped them again with alcohol and sprayed them with DupliColor etching primer. The final color will be DupliColor Graphite. Stay tuned...

    All done, a total of 4 coats of graphite & 4 coats of clear on wheels and caps, waiting on tires now, 265/75/16 BFG KM2s. Also waiting on OME 3", Dee Zee chest style tool box black, Black taillights as one of mine are cracked, and a black oem style rear bumper as mine didn't have one when I bought it. The suspense is killing me!!!!
