    My dad had a 1896 4runner when I was a kid. Loved swinging on the rear roll bar when the roof was off.

    I do like seeing the survivors out there. Unfortunately, they're mostly in the SW and especially California.

    I would love to cruise around during the summer with the rear roof off, wish mine had that feature. Cool truck, welcome to the forum!

    Well so far i pulled the manifolds soaked and cleaned them. New TPS, new egr, plugs wires, distro cap, timing. Runs like clock work!
    Replace a bunch of leaking gaskets on axles, carpeted and sound deadened the inside.
    Going through the wiring on it now, going to park it this winter after hunting season, redo the body around the windshield and replace that.
