So I have always creeped on this forum to be jealous of all of the cruisers, and to try to find parts that will work with my firstgen 4runner.
Well, I talked my fiance into getting a cruiser of our own, on the condition that it be newer. I cant afford a NEW one, and she did not like the 80s so we got a 100, and we love it.
We were looking at a white one in texas, and the houston members of the forum were great to help us out and steer us in the right direction. We had Javiers in houston do a PPI and we flew down to pick her up!
Heres some photos!
The Previous owner removed the roof rack and the wind diffuser thing on the rear (thankfully he left the bolts) so we are working on finding and installing those back onto it.
The only caveat is that The PO also removed the factory trailer hitch reciever, And also the bracket that it connects to... So my rear bumper is ghetto rigged to the truck and just kind of dangles on there.
Was hoping to get some info from yall on how to fix this, I believe there should be some kind of cross bar that connects to the frame, then the hitch reciever connects to this and then the bumper cover goes on last?
I need to source a OEM hitch and the missing braket i suppose. Here are some photos from what i have so far. I can take more after work. Keep in mind, the bumper hangs way low and you can shake it around with your hand. In the photo above you can also see how low it sits..
The other question I have is that the headlights look like there is 3 spots for bulbs. The normal headlight bulbs are the inside bulbs closest to the grille, then there is another spot toward the outside of the truck (i am missing bulbs here), then the blinkers on the fender part of the headlight assembly. I am missing bulbs in the middle position and was just wondering what they are for, and what type of bulbs they are?
Thanks for reading my post!
