back to the topic,.....um..
The two door model, the doors are longer like the extra cabs...I think.
Makes it harder to get out after squeeze in to those tight parking spots or have someone park so close to you.

I think the doors are a bit longer. Here's mine... way better looking IMO.

Just did some checking on-line. I can find only two part numbers for the 89-95 trucks/4runners - one for vent window, one w/o.
Left side:
OEM# 6700204071 w/o vent
OEM# 6700235140 w/ vent

Fits both 4Runner and pickup.

But now I'm on a mission to find out "the truth"!

would you be willing to sell that metal panel? i have a 2 seater and it would be nice to have something to make the back flat for camping. i've been using plywood, but it doesn't have a tight fit and it moves while i'm sleeping.
