Thanks for the kind words all!

There have been many more trucks on the daily driver side.

Here was my second favorite after the 86 4runner -

Andy- awesome writeup enjoyed it immensely! Saw some people I recognized in quite a few of your wheeling photos. And recognized some of the shots from Paragon! And I remember when Alan's gold 4Runner looked that nice! Tellico must have been an awesome place to wheel. And I saw the pumpkin sitting behind Ryan's shop earlier this month- doesn't look quite like the way it does in your photo! And I remember getting a test drive in the later model red 4Runner! Again, great story, thanks for posting!

So newb question. What does the term "bob the bed" mean exactly? I'm assuming it's borrowed from motorcycle lingo.

 

[caz]

Cut a section out of the bed and weld back together. Usually in the rear to get rid of some overhang for a better departure angle.

Awesome thread Andy! You truly are an OG Yota wheeler!

OOC - did you have to relieve the hood on the red 4runner with the 3.4 swap? I've got a really nice 95 behind the shop that I'm considering this swap for.

I expect it will need modified. I saw one in person and there was a hole cut in the hood. That said a body lift would probably solve it. Or lower the mounts?

 

[caz]

I had a two inch body lift on it.

Honestly, unless you plan to SAS it or something I cant imagine it would be worth the time. Just buy a 96

Two words...brand loyalty

I don't think I have any photos of any of my previous cars/trucks except for a '74 Duster I totaled in 1985, pics are post wreck.

Thanks for the background MiniTruck Master, great write up, glad I asked!

I see why you like my Trekker wheels now.
They cleaned up nicely BTW.
