Nice looking truck, man. Mine is similar condition (paint not buffed yet tho)..need buckets also, benchy is goney
! also.. Going diesel for now, as I put a deposit on a new 2.5 4d56 Friday. Going to play with it and she what I can get reliably from it ...planning to stay somewhat sane to keep hwy mpg decent (and reliable), as its a dd, and used for work. Haul trailers and solar panels etc.

That roof rust is a strange spot to get rusted. You'd think it would run off and find a pocket to puddle in somewhere, hmmm
I just found a little on my truck, just below the drivers door where they put a molding seam in the body.
Well, you got something to do for fun...

WOw, That roof rust is scary! I'm going outside rightnow to check mine..(Its under the center light, correct?) That damn light probably holds moisture there and rusts like crazy, once seals go..and thats usually in 5 to 6 yrs or so, LONG ago on my 1995! Ypur paint is in waay better shape than mine tho..Gotta get all mechanical work done first. I got a bumper hitch from u pull it for 40 +8 tax, and put a h frt receiver on it..workd GREAT and cheap! Sanded and painted it up, and the bumper is plenty stout, made of 1/4 plate steel! and lots of it! (unless u want to keep the "rolled" rear look (which is cool also). The 1st gen bumpers will fit as they are the exact same. New ones are 450, I think...NO THANKS!

@ Brad: Yeah its a very odd place to find rust. I hope Ill be able to fix it enough to last a while.
@ Thill: I painted this truck myself over 2 years ago using duplicolor ready to spray paint from the part store, and some regular 2 part clear coat. Its held up alot better than I though it would for the price. The rust in the picture is above the windshield actualy, not the rear window. And it seems to be the only place I have found rust. Very odd.
Hope to spend a little time this weekend on it and see what I can do.

Shoot, you live on the coast like me, rust is possibly worse on some cars then up north. If you live on the bay or next to it, the salt water will eat these up! Luckily im far enough away that its not that bad on anything I own. (other than this spot)
Just ordered a new shift knob, a large 6" bubble "drift" style, if you will, clear knob. I wanted something larger as I have a knob from a 2G DSM on it at the moment and its just to dang short, I am tired of reaching down and nearly leaning over to grab it. Also, some 3" blocks for the rear, and som e upper ball joints so I can install the cut springs again. Finish the interior, the front lip, and the bozo style exhaust and take it for a little photo shoot.

Lol, Yeah I gots it back. Thanks fellas.
The floor mat is for a 11-13 Kia sorento 2nd row. I had an extra one so I decided to use it. Looks really nice and your right no slipping at all.
Hope to be going to the junk yards in the next couple weeks again for some seals and these wheels:

Paint them white, is the plan.

some of the kia sedona have 6 lug wheels

Yeah all the ones from 2006+ have the exact same 6 lug. Problem is the KIA's have a stock offset of like 45 - 50. I test fitted one, witout a large spacer it hits the upper controll arm. And they dont realy look cool. Those others are from a nissan pathfinder, should be a bolt on affair. 15x6.5, so not very large but I love, LOVE mesh wheels.

I wanna see this thing with a turbo. Lol.
You didn't want to switch to buckets? Also I had mush more rust then you around the windshield. The drivers side bottom corner rotted to almost nothing and the glass cracked because of it. I wanna say atleast 7 different spots.

Yeah eventually Ill turbo it. I had DSM bucket seats in it for a while back when, but I like the bench better. It shall stay for now.
I just ordered a new intake filter, mushroom style, will fit my custom intake set up to it, and all new lights from thailand. Clear bumber lights, clear 2 way corner lights, and red/clear tails... very excited to see them.

Any cutting or anything to get those to fit, I assume they are just like the alloy titan rims that the center hole is to small.
