Ok, my question is what generation 4runner is it in this picture? (I can't get the picture to show, needs to be clicked):

I found it located in this interesting thread (near the bottom):

http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/35407-1987-4Runner-Expedition-Build-Up.?

As you can see it was squished in between pictures of what I thought was an African 2nd gen 4runner and assumed it was the interior for that African vehicle. HOWEVER as I inspected the interior I noticed there was no rear tubs where the wheels are, like in the 2nd gen 4runners and that it also had different shaped windows.

So is the interior of a first gen 2-door U.S. 4runner with a removable hardtop or the 2nd 4runners over there were different interior wise?

Never been in/owned either generation and research failed to answer this question, it's bugging me. Thanks guys!

p.s. If anyone has a link to a build thread to the pictured 4runner that would be amazing too.

!!!

That's a first generation 4runner. I believe that pic is from a build thread for an 85. This isn't a build thread, but it does have more pics:

The member's name is FJ40Tom. Scroll down the page and you will see some more photos.

Great job finding it! Thanks a ton for answering my trivial question also. You are THE man officially (but only for the next glorified filled 24 hours and then it expires, haha).

Just on the off-chance someone should read this and be curious to know more about the cool African safari 4runner, here's the original webpage I tracked down by goggling part of the images name and other keywords (pretty cool read/website): http://www.africa4x4cafe.com/
