The rest of the week i hope to deaden the cab and put in the new black carpet, paint the bucket seat frames and install those since i cant sell them. And start on making the center console. I also hope to polish and seal the rims, wash, clay bar, and wax the truck as well.

Also had some things happen today making it so that i had no thanksgiving feasts to go to :( So i spent MOST of the day cleaning up the garage, which it badly needed. I wanna get a shelving unit and a welder and the shop will be complete.

well not sure if ne one here is following along any way but i got back in the mood to work on the truck today since it warmed up so i gave her a good hand wash while it wasnt raining and im gonna claybar her tomorrow, then wax her with zaino. In the meantime i got the interior plastics painted black and laid down the new carpeting. I sold the leather seats i had cause they werent perfect. Heres a couple pics:

Just looked at the whole restoration, looks really good. Nice clean truck! Was there much problem lowering the 4X4, never really paid attention to anyone lowering a 4X4 before, did you have to worry about shaft angles and stuff? Good luck with the rest of it.

Oh yeah, and if you still have your old carpet and you want to keep a back up one. You can always go to walmart and get Fabric dye, usually 4 or 5 packs, stick your carpet in a big garbage can filled with water leave it for a day or two. (usually you got to add some salt to activate the dye) then just pressure wash it off and you have a decent spare carpet. Provided the old carpet isn't worn too bad, usually the pressure wash puts life back into. (and don't forget to remove the sound deadner backing if has any)
