Whoa man, hope everything is ok!!
Looking forward to the 4Runner build. Not sure how you feel about the space situation versus the FJ80 but I know your 4R will be plenty capable and sip gas compared to the old rig.
Let us know if we can do anything!
School's coming along... one semester down, 5 more to go.
I'm not sure when I'm going to be back west again, but will definitely let you know. I bet the warmer weather will be easier to plan something in, maybe a BBQ or day trip somewhere.
I've done a little exploring out here in the Isuzu...
