I am an old guy with an '88 plain cab, short bed, 22r-e 4x4. I am mostly interested in my truck as a hunting tool rather than crawling or mudding for kicks. I hope to glean technical stuff that you hardcore guys use, and adapt nuggets for my use.
Oh, my truck is my daily commuter, too. It is plain black. I have removed almost all of the factory stripes. I took off the rear bumper, and the cheesy chrome light bar, bull bar and nerf bars. It's got the original bench seat that I intend to replace with 4runner or Corolla or Del Sol or Corbeau buckets.
I run a naked floor (well, it's got a rubber mat to soak some of the road noise). I don't know the brand name of the aftermarket wheels it sports, but I'd like to obtain a fifth one for my spare. My spare for now is a standard rim for a 4runner. I'll post a pic of a wheel at some point.
The truck rolls on - get this, you hardcore Puritans - 235x75Rx15 Chinese Prime Wells. They hum a little but have been excellent in the mud, on the coal gravel, on the hunting lease trails and on the highway in the rain so far.
Remember, this is hunting truck, not a trail buster, so take it easy on me. I will much appreciate all the help I can get here, and happily offer what little I know. (My 20-year-old son is a rock crawling freak, but he rides a Jeep, not a 'Yota.)
