Stupid 4runner........
 
Funny pic. How many people does it take to work on a 4runner.....:sombrero:

Just the two touching the truck.

Only replaced the alternator in this pic due to its dumb location, and about 10 water crossings. But of course it wasn't a Toyota part and didnt fit... so after filing it down we finally got it stabbed in there.

The other folks were on the overland trip with us, and waiting for me, so we could get back on the road.

Yeah I'm stpuid.... HAHAHHAHAHA I looked back a page and saw that it WAS P/U and mentaly thought DOH!!! Now suddenly the window seems so clear and obvious.

There's a sweet Tracker AND a Wolverine (the had what looked more like a "turtle shell" on the back of them) rihgt in my area, I drool every time I see them out and about and the obligitory thumbs up are exchanged. It's funny, I've always seen Bikers giving eachother that "hey brother" wave thingy but now I'm starting to see alot more of us Toyota and even some Jeepers (mostly just folks with nice rigs) doing it too... Makes sence to me, gotta give someone soem good vibes for a job well done eh ;)

ANyway back ON TOPIC...

Well, I haven't really gotten to go out and enjoy my 4Runner lately, between the horrid weather and the healing period I'm experiencing... Fingers crossed, I think I'm going to be letting out ALOT of pent up "wanderlust" in 2011 :D

Nice rigs guys, keep'm coming.

Cheers

Heres Mine

I have wanted one of these since I was a kid. So back in the day i saw it in a local news paper in twenty nine Palms. It was a 79 Hilux that was used as part of a fence in a Yucca Yalley Ca. I traded a Honda XR 75 and $200 for it back in 1998. This bought me a truck with a bent front axle a blown engine and a tranny with no reverse, bent front springs smashed front glass no operable light bulbs no smog ( a big deal in Ca.) . I bought a new engine, rebuilt the trans put new downey springs Marlin Crawler Transfer Case, 488 r&p lock rights f&r winch on board air from the ac compressor got it weighed inspected and tagged and shes been a runner ever since. ive driver her across the states twice and wheeled every place you can get to in a one day drive from oceanside. My only want would be fuel injection, better suspension and a five speed all in good time. Its currently in storage aboard Camp Pendleton where she will sit for the next 18 Months, have no doubt tat with a fresh battery she will lite right up and be ready for the next trip.
