Spotted in Pleasanton, CA

I've seen this truck here and there around town trhe past year and finally ended up on the same street as him.

Before yesterday, I had seen it as a SFA yellow 4runner, lifted, with what appeared to be a softopper. Yesterday it was amazing weather and he had the softopper all rolled up.

NOW....who can spot the one thing about this 4runner that doesn't quite belong?..... (10 internet points for the one who gets it first!)

Does this belong to anyone here? Amazing looking truck!!

It's a Runner, but it has Dana differentials. They are domestic anyway...

Rockblock, do you say that because they are wide? Curious how you spotted that.

Yes it is a runner with a pickup liftgate (no rear window), that was the "different" thing I noticed

I see the edge of the rear diff. And the axle tubes are pressed in, not all one piece like a Toy. And the outline of the center section isn't Toy, it's very similar to a Dana.
