Well I have been slowly making progress on my rig. I have installed the new 4" turboback exhaust, Pulled out the old interior, grinded away all of the corrosion in the floor pans and sealed the floor, installed new carpet w/husky floor mats, and installed the recently re-upolstered original bucket seats. I have done alot of other misc. things to it, not worth listing. But here are some recent pics! sorry about the quality my camera broke so I used my phone....

I will be installing a manual window setup soon. And my next step is to rhino line the bed. Followed by an 80gal fuel cell with a manually controlled gravity feed.

Those seats look a lot more comfortable than my seats in my 95' Dodge. I think I will look for some to put in my Dodge.

Your '95's are a lot more comfortable than these 3rd gens. Must of been Daimler's influence. German cars seem to have fairly firm seats,but these are ridiculous.

My 06 is pretty stiff...but I like it so far...at least on long rides it seems to work out nice for my back! My drive from Truth or Consequences, NM to Pagosa Springs, CO left me with sore legs and a good back but after all the bouncing on rocks the next day it hurt a lil more :sombrero:

Nice rig man The color is champagne, I prefer to call it sand tan though. The interior is Buckskin.

Nitto mud grapplers can. They sound like a B-17.
