socal85toyota's 85 4Runner
After building my 85 pickup i caught toyota fever and traded my 92 toy 2wd p/u straight across for this 85 4runner. Has a few dents and scratches but over all pretty clean, zero rust 
(gotta love Cali, for weather not their gun laws..lol)
Got the rear window working perfect and engine's in the shop getting a fresh new rebuild(22re efi).
Not exactly sure what the plans are for this one yet but i think i want 35/37's on it. I like the hardtop look so thats staying on. Ill update with some more pics when its back from the rebuild.

It can look alright, IMHO, with a black top and all black accessories.... But honestly? The all white looks so much more distinctive from the trucks. It's weird, for some reason I always have guys asking me with my red one, "Wow, did you cut the back off to make it a walk through?".... Newbs, lol.... But with my white one, NEVER asked that.... Plus, c'monnnnnn, you'll be cooler, it will fade slower, keep your gear insideeeeeeee cooler! It's a win/win with the white! lol.... Ok, that didn't sound right.... but who cares! lol. Man I miss my "Blanca">>>>
(tears forming) hahahaha>>>
