More like back to it. Ended up buying my wife a family car back in Nov. last year, which means there was no longer a rush to find a Cruiser. Got busy with work, and than our daughter was born, and I haven’t had much time to devote to looking around for awhile. Still don’t really, but I’m in no hurry, when I find the right one, I’ll buy it.

Mine is for sale...'94 with cloth, but no locker. PM?
Should have been more specific, actually looking for a ’95-’97 variant, which I’d imagine are really rare with cloth. I have nothing against the typical leather, but I prefer cloth, no wood and diff locks. I want a truck, not a luxury car, so I can do without the wood and leather, but if I find the right one with, no biggie.

I posted about that truck 3 or 4 weeks ago. When I looked at it, it was LOW on coolant!
I must have missed that post, but then I’m not able to get on and read as often as I’d like. I’ll have to search around see if I can find that thread. Makes me feel better about missing it. Looked awfully clean otherwise, was it?

First off, you won't be getting "wood" no matter what you think. It's all plastic with the LX variant being a better grade of plastic. Besides, it comes off quickly with a hair dryer. Or you can do like Junk and chisel it off with a screwdriver.
There are pros and cons with the leather seats and for a small additional fee you can cover them with a high quality, nicely fitting cloth. The pros are that the seats offer a lot of adjustments, including lumbar. The cons are that, in stock form, they don't offer as much leg room. This is easily fixed with Rick's seat track mod and the big guys are lovin' his seat fix.
As for the locks.... this is what you really want to be looking for. That other stuff is insignificant. The best alternative to factory F&R locks is going to cost you $2,000 or more and adds under the bonnet a bunch of air lines, a compressor, wiring, and leaky seals.
