A lot of people remove the flairs and roof rack and filling the holes is a job, so your ahead of the game there.

94 is a good year

Tie rod ends are not affected by lift. 555 are good and I'm running them.

I just ordered a set. Can’t wait to get them in.

That looks nice. The top picture almost looks like two toned stripes. Might one day do a lift but for now maintenance catch up

That is the best way to start out with these rigs, baseline the thing then make modifications ie lifts, wheel and tires.

Baseline! Thats the word I was looking for. I saw a post before detailing what to do for baseline but I couldn’t find it. It seems to be what I wanted to do.
This is the way!

I have a friend who works at a Toyota dealership. I might see what kind of “employee” discounts I might get on OEM.

Another great source for OEM parts is partsouq.com and amaya

I have ordered from partsouq a lot and never had any issues.

Agreed, I just a new master cylinder from them for my 80.

Any idea what all the connectors are under the steering wheel and by the footwell? I was guessing a viper alarm but I don’t know anything about them to recognize the connections.

The red spade terminals are not factory. Nor is the toggle switch in your first pic.
There's unused connectors all over these vehicles, there to accommodate various options and spec levels.

Check your knuckle studs! This could mean the difference between controlling the vehicle and not.
And while you are there, check your birfields for oozing grease (birf soup). If the birfields are greasy but not oozing, check the grease level in the birfields.
