How did you do your screens?

Not sure what windows these are as they were installed two owners ago and no one remembers where they came from. Pretty sure it was for some sort of an rv. Anyway, I've always thought they matched well and to answer your question, it was just a matter of unscrewing those screws along the perimeter of the inside of the window and that is what sandwiches the screens in.

Shaker Heights, near Cleveland. Was only there a couple of years, but it was an interesting experience.

After 10 or 11 years since the swap, finally getting around to getting it some cooler air. Might play with the location a bit more, but the temp is now within about 10* of ambient where I used to run 30-40* hotter than ambient (was 85* outside at time of picture).

Scored some sweet cloth interior!! Poverty never felt so great!

I have the landtank seat extensions on the stock leather seats and I don't even need them with the cloth manual seats.

I weighed the seats in case you were wondering
Leather 70 lbs
Manual 36

Just shampooed everything and installed. So happy! I would always warn my wife to not slide out the seat because of the tilt switch that likes to break off, she's happy too because I will now just STFU about this switch.

Getting ready to start my major make over of the pig. Started by pulling the center caps sanding then painting. I left the original gold Toyota logo since it was still in good condition. I'll be painting all the wheels then pulling the fenders off to give it a slimmer look. Finally I'll be spraying the body with raptor liner. Should be pretty sweet once I'm done.

The 100 got new heater tees after we had a blowout. :poop:

Also tightened up the sloppy throttle cable which made a decent improvement in the performance issue. :)

I have some cloth seats I need to put in. What did you do with the seat belts? On the leather mine are bolted to the seats and my understanding is the cloth do not have that attachment point. At least that's what I gathered from looking at the cloth seats I picked up for 3 seconds.

Will have to get the rear frame rail back to black. Will be glad to have this five year long project completed.

I'm turning a arb bumper into a winch bumper. Looked at it for a while. Finally came up with a plan. Here's where I'm at so far.

I need to clock the T handle. Then cut a hole for it. I'm also going to mount the control box inside the bumper so I'll need a hole for that too. Also need to cut a hole for the fairlead.
