My '93

Some new pics:

Took it out over by the Mississippi River today, which is slowly rising...

Give a week or so, and see if I can park my truck in that same spot..

I LOVE the purple color, it's freaking awesome.

Lastly, my truck and another 93-94 parked together at the Amtrak station. Was driving by there and saw it, and a empty slot next to it and decided to take advantage of it and have a "photo-op" of sorts.

Since my last post put the original 14' wheels back on... had to buy new tires after I gave the old ones to my dad to put on his truck... call them my snow tires...

I love those tires. I have the same set on my truck. They are quiet, ride really well and so far have been wearing very well. For what they cost, a very nice tire.

You could lower that thing for free, just a little time. I did it on my old 92 long box. remove the rear shackle mounts from the frame, flip them, and swap them to opposite sides. It will give you 3" or 4" of drop in the rear. Then in the front, cut the springs, then readjust the caster/camber to square the tire back up. It was worth it for me....but my truck was a POS.

I finally decided to pull out the armrest, only use to me was something to rest my arm on and keep junk in. A torx bolt was holding it onto the seat, so I took a torx socket and some penetrating oil to it and had it off in 10 minutes.

Have some seat covers coming, they were cheap $45 dollar ones off Ebay. Will post pix when they come in and have them on.

The new seat covers came in yesterday... it was easier putting the bottom ones on by removing the seats I found... so i gotta keep them as clean as possible I guess. They are made of a cloth velour-like material. I originally thought they would be a darker tan color. Also my clear corners came in this afternoon, FedEx delivers on Saturdays...

The add-ons don't stop, got a billet grille and some smoke Euro tail lights coming the beginning of next week. Stay tuned...

New billet grille came in today:

And the reason for the diamond plate in front of the mudflaps is to keep them stable from blowing back and forth. I made those, now my next plan is to paint them black.

Put a new steering wheel on today. Got it from LMC Truck.

Taking the old wheel off:

Bought a topper today for only $50 from my uncle who had it on his '88 Ranger that he was parting out. It is a faded brown color, was originally a dark brown metallic.
