Wheels look nice. Obviously I took my running boards off as well.
I couldn't stand them. I honestly don't think the paintjob looks too bad. Would look nice a little lower though, I do agree. And 4x4 does wonders when you're in a bind somewhere lol, although mine isn't completely hooked up yet. Still have some things to do before it's back on the road. My thing was, I had an '88 4x4, and my '92 2WD. The engine in the '88 went so I lost the 4x4, and the frame was bent on my '92. So, I got a whole new 4x4 frame, and went from there. A lot of work, but I got it together.
From what I can see the interior looks very clean; a lot better than mine at the moment
But, good luck on the project. You only live a couple hours from me so maybe when ya' get your license we could go cruisin'.
