Here's a 5yr old picture of my old '86 4Runner right before I sold it. (The picture was originally taken w/ a standard 35mm camera...not digital. I then took my cell phone and took a picture of the 4"x6" picture. Anotherwords, the real photo looks great, but taking a picture of a picture, doesn't turn out so good...but hey you get the idea.):

Your tailgate must not be very high off the ground. If I walked off my tailgate with that 200lb thing on my back it would tear my knees and ankles and who knows what else all to hell. Not to mention, that's awful for your back.

I want to get an old frunner for the removable top. I have to wait till I move out of maine cause I wont ever put the top back on. Ill deal with the wet just not the snow.

4runner lookss great with the top off. I'd say a nice soft top and your set. I'd be happy with a sunroof in my truck. I guess all good things come to those that wait and save money.

Thanks for posting my pics on the site.
Now I want some BJ spacers.
It is alot faster now, can feel the difference,
I got on it in 4rth and it did something
It was cold this morning and had windows up and heat on and it was fine, not as much wind as I thought, wouldn't wanna be in the back though. hehe(only 'bout 55 degrees) not really cold but just a short drive to skool

Your 4Runner looks awesome! Mine is the same color. I love the fender flares. It's a blast riding around with the top off. Here are some pictures from the Petite Lemans last September in Atlanta. Seeing this thread really makes me want to figure out how to make a soft top now

Nice!! One of the things I miss the most about my 1st Gen!!
I had a set-up in my garage (hooks & rachet straps) Had my top on and off in 15mins by myself!!

ahmgram, nice shot of what I am guessing is somewhere near Hateras?
I was there way back when I learned what "Jeep Only" meant as I buried the 2WD mighty max I had.
Mine went topless a few weeks ago. There is actually suprisingly little wind inside the cab with the windows up and sunroof closed. I was afraid I may get some exhaust like I did when rolling down the back window, but nothing that I have noticed. Even though it is not open overhead it is a ton of fun and people seem to notice it alot more.
I also just finished my soft top(ok a few tweaks left). It is detailed on this thread

you could always get an aftermarket alarm with a proximity sensor, taht way once you arm the alarm if anyone decides to stick there hands inside your truck, the alarm will go off

Yesterday, on my way home from work, it started to POUR!! Then it started hailing! My entire right side was soaked, I had more water on the inside of the windshield than on the outside...but it was AWESOME seeing peoples faces as I drove by with no doors.
Funny thing is, the rain coming from the sky barely touched me. It was the rain being slung up by my tires is what cause the most wetness!
