So it been a few years since I’ve had a Toyota pickup. Picked this one up a couple of months ago and have been working to get it serviced and hopefully looking better. I’ve got some questions and looks like there are folks here that have the knowledge. Here it is as I bought it.

Next I did a tune up, judging by he air filter I’m guessing regular maintenance hasn’t been a thing.

Then I pulled the old carpet and the seat and door panels. The carpet was seriously trashed.

Moved to sheet metal replacement next, unbelievable how flimsy some of this aftermarket stuff is.

Sold the flatbed guess I was in denial about how difficult finding a replacement bed would be.

Ohhhh neat, love my husky liners, make sure you look at the gas pedal and the liner at full throttle, I found out the poopy way merging on the highway that if the liner shifts a certain way the pedal catches…I trimmed mine quite a bit to clear the pedals

Interior panels look super cool!!!!! You’re going full throttle I like it!!!!

Edit:

it’s been 10 years since I did my huskies, now I remember they were clogging up getting full throttle so I trimmed them and I THOUGHT I trimmed them far enough but then they caught the gas pedal…..so if you notice they are clogging up your pedals make sure you trim far enough that if they shift a bit the pedal won’t catch…
