Hey welcome. If you need any help with your car, I'm only the next town over.

Here are some pics from this morning, this is after I replaced the steering wheel because the original was cracked and worn. Also replaced the speaker covers front and rear because I don't like my speakers showing.

While I was at the local PnP I picked up a decent pair of 3000gt seats for my 4Runner, not a bad looking set for $50.
They sit about 1 inch lower than the originals which is nice just incase of a rollover.

Thanks guys, was worried it wouldn't pass smog because on the way there the idle was way over 2500 rpms so I went about my day and then went back after it calmed down near 1000 rpms and it passed no problem. Still need to do a boost leak and recheck everything, but from what I've read I'm thinking I have a leak somewhere. Had to adjust my alarm switch in the engine bay because it was tilted and didn't seat well with the hood. All is better now and the alarm didn't wake me or the neighbors last night.
