Got her all back together and out of the shop. I am happy with the suspension lift and rear spring mods, The ride and handling is good and its stance is how I want it. These are 33" tires and I am not sure if I want to go to 35's for it yet or not. I have been watching for any oil leaks from the oil pan gasket I had installed a few weekends ago. No leaks and its holding well. When I had first pulled the pan and examined it, the leak was actually at the rear most portion of the pan and was leaking between the pan gasket and the pan itself. I made sure to pay extra attention to that location with the new pan gasket and the FIPG sealer.

Got the fuel tank firmly strapped back down. Passenger seat in along with the passenger side 3 point seat-belt. You can see both seat-belt latch points located in the space between both seats. Seems to work out well.

Determined that the passenger side seatbelt latch was not in a great position as it was mounted too far toward the driver side. There was no oem seatbelt eyebolt mount in a good position so I decided to add one in a good location to make it easier for the passenger to buckle their 3 point harness.

10mm x 1.25mm nut welded to a washer then counter-sunk into the rear support box to allow the oem eyebolt to thread into it. Worked well.

New snorkel style fuel tank. Still available from Toyota. Decided to order one and keep it on the shelf in the shop in case I ever need it. Not galvanized like the one in the truck now though, but it sure is pretty.

Truck goes into the glass shop next Friday for a new windshield as it has several cracks across it. I have the new oem window seals for all the glass.
