Hello everyone! I'm so excited to finally own a 100 series! I have a 1999 with 152k miles on it, and got it for only $2,800. It already has an OME medium duty lift kit, and had a lot of other work such as a replaced transmission, throttle body, and a lot of other suspension and steering components. This is the car when I first saw it:
It was sitting for a bit, and the paint was terrible! It was full of spots and had a whole layer of dirt and made it look horrible. Since I've got it, I have completely detailed it myself, as well as add a few extras:
I washed, claybared, and waxed the entire car. I also replaced the worn stock size tires with used 285/75r16's. I love how it drives, although the OME is a bit too stiff for my liking.
Here is a list of the problems, and all help will be welcomed and appreciated:
1) Steering column doesn't tilt or telescope
2) Subwoofer doesn't work - It had a Kenwood touchscreen unit and I didn't see an amp under the passenger seat
3) The power mirrors only fold in, not back out - When I fold them in and out manually I can feel the clicking of it in place is stuck in
4) The driver's side window makes a TERRIBLE screeching sound when going up - Someone told me it needs a new seal?
5) The turn signal is wired to the bulb next to the headlight - I'm not sure how to fix this but I'll probably take it to someone that knows wiring
6) Both fenders are bent in from a previous front end impact - I'm going to replace them both
7) All seats are very messed up - Going to replace them all
My future plans for this car definitely include a metal front bumper and rock sliders on the side. For now I want to make it look a bit cleaner by changing the front fenders, adding door trim, and a front tint. Does anyone know where I could get a steering wheel replacement for around $100? And cheaper rock silders that just do its job when off roading. I'm trying to stay on the cheaper side of things with this monster. Thanks for all the help everyone!

expect to pay around 700 for a set of good sliders.
