^^^ Wow nice find.
I replaced my rear carpeting with some interlocking foam. You know, the stuff you use in a gym or a kids room.

Today, I started putting my 2" coil spacer/shackle RC lift on. I got the rear shackles on and managed to break all four upper shock mount bolts. I went to put the front coil spacers in, but realized I couldn't do it without a spring compressor. I held each rear shock on with one bolt and one of them let loose on the way home from my buddy's house, so now that's flopping around and I have to fix it. And last, but not least, I stripped out the threads for the coil-spring-hold-down-tab bolt. So, tomorrow, I have to fix the stripped threads and the rear shock mounts. Then I'll be able to add my coil spacers up front. Sheesh, what a day!

Decided to treat it after it turned over 250k. Picked up an K&N intake (only because of CARB) and got the supplies to change all the fluid in the drive-train, Transmission, t-case, and both differentials. now I can start planning the modifications I want to do.

Put in new fuel injectors, now I just have to wait for Autozone to ship me my rear driveshaft U-joints! For those of you that are curious, I used these injectors: http://fuelinjectorconnection.com/sh...&productId=159
I'll try and post an update as to their performance when I get to drive her again.

Installed a new Sony stereo. Sounds good.
