Oh don't worry about those. When she's in our care the roughest thing that will come in contact with them is a clean microfiber.<cringe> seeing those beautiful un-protected rockers.
Wow...glad I stumbled across this thread, very inspiring. Must have driven past any number of times (on way to Parker Canyon Lake etc.); never knew you were there, I am overdue for a hospitality call. Now I know where to take my truck if I get in over my head (or for that incessant rear main seal leak).

Very cool! Stop by next time you're in town. We're right across from the Fair Grounds, go through the hardware store parking lot and head for the big flag, we're in the brown metal building
We'll be hosting a Copper State Cruisers get together once things green up a bit, hopefully you can make that too.

The guys at Sweet Window Tinting did a great job removing the rear hatch tint without damaging the heater element. As expected

Cloth, how cool. The new OE foam in the driver's seat made a world of difference.

Oh woe is me, field testing is such rough duty 
Sadly only another 30 miles until she's ready for a life of adventure without us, hopefully we get some pics now and then.

500 miles breakin. Smart.
Great work Johnny and Bill.

What an awesome build. Thanks for sharing.
I had a question - do you have information on the OEM foam part number? Also, is that new cloth on those seats? If so, where'd you get that?
Thanks!
Nice. So when they removed the tint was it completely clear or is there an embedded tint left in all but front door windows and windshield?The guys at Sweet Window Tinting did a great job removing the rear hatch tint without damaging the heater element. As expected

Nope, it is the original cloth but looks new.
Correct, the front doors and windshield are clear and the rest of the glass has a slight tint.

The driver's seat belt wasn't retracting quickly enough for our liking. We tried a few things to fix it and nothing worked....but as we could get a new one.

So the '94 is going to a new home in South Carolina. We're sad to see her leave but it is a Mud family member in a rust free state where she'll be lovingly cared for, and garaged!
The new owner wanted a Long Range America 24 gallon auxiliary tank, as the LRA tank sits where the spare would normally live we needed to relocate the spare. The owner decided on an interior tire mount from Ozark Overland which added very little weight and didn't complicate opening the rear hatch, as a rear bumper with a swingout tire carrier would have.

The tank installation was a bit fiddly as a couple bolt holes weren't exactly where they needed to be. Not a problem.
We added some Volcanic Heat Shield to the tank to prevent the exhaust from heating up the tank. A previous installation of the same tank revealed that the tank could get hot enough to start pushing fuel into the charcoal canister, no bueno. A layer of Volcanic rectified the issue. Likely only an issue with gasoline powered rigs.

Great work you guys. When did I miss a thread or note elsewhere regarding OE mirrors? Are they US Toyota wide, or only 1 or 2 vendors?

The old weatherstrip had a few tears in it and we could still get a the new one (67862-60071). The door makes a very pleasant sound when it closes now.

The 500 miles break-in/shake down has come to an end, we completed the first service and she's ready to move to her new home is South Carolina. We're so happy that it is a Mud home and that she gets to live inside!
