I’ll try to make a long story short here. My father purchased the truck brand new in 1999 and when he pulled it into the driveway..... well I knew one day I had to have it! Fast forward to 2011 when he asked me to help sell the truck..... To his surprise I said I would buy it! (Being that im 6’4” and that I've always messed around with 4 cylinder turbo cars I guess he never thought I would be interested in it) After purchasing first thing was first and I had to make myself fit! I purchased some seats from cipher automotive and bolted the sliders right to the floor gaining 2 inches of head room! Next was a smaller Momo Devil steering wheel, and lastly I had to modify the brake pedal so it is now flush with the go pedal (every mm counts! Lol) Now onto the mods I’ve done over the years... I’ll list them for simplicity sake!
