Instead of drilling any holes, I removed the plastic trim piece that says 4Runner on it, and gained access to the cab through there. No drilling no problems! Pics don't show, but after I was done routing wires, I used some split loom over all the wires.
If you mount your lights a little...
Did some shooting couple weekends ago. playing around with my gopro setup in the snow. Let me know what you guys think. What you like, and what can be improved on.

617 is a legendary motor. Make sure you post plenty of pics and details when you do it. I know there are a few of us who'd be more than a little interested!:drool:
If it were me I'd leave the bed alone. It doesn't look like it's in too bad of shape from the pics you posted.
That said if I WERE going with a flatbed I'd go with something like this...
Nice and light with a lot of functionality.
Gotta ask what benz motor are you going with? I keep...
another thing I would add to the opinions is for overland the SFA isn't the holy grail. if you're rockcrawling it's a must, but for Overlanding? How much more often are you traversing backroads with long miles of washboards vs crawling over rocks where the IFS is far superior? IMO for most of us...
I would recommend either an 80's 4runner with the 2.4l or 1996-2002 4runner with the 3.4l.
80's 4R easy to work on. (mostly) cheap parts with many aftermarket vendors. decent MPG. Very robust. Good longevity, even pushing past 200k. Also can be used as a truck if needed.
1996-2002 4R. 3.4l...
I can relate. There is just something about these first gen's that stick with you. My cousin first got me hooked with his '85 pickup. He's had some nice cars come and go but I'm pretty sure he'll be buried in his truck.
IIRC it sits around 32-3300 at about 65mph. I haven't had time to drive it in quite a while. I know there are some online calculators that will tell you pretty close to. I believe there is one on the 4crawler site.
LaOutback it was a shame to see you sell yours it was in good shape!
I don't...
