Don't do it!!!
Ha, I like the shell. I've run into the same issue, and honestly it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would with the extra inch or so hanging off the back. Those 1st gens have just like a 1" shorter bed than any later Toyotas. Makes finding a shell pretty damn hard. Being up where there's a lot of moisture, how bad does it spray up under that overhang? I really need a topper but I've been holding off hoping someday I'll find one that actually fits, but if it's not so bad having that overhang maybe I'll just live with it.

That's a really nice looking truck. How's the interior? Too bad you've got to sell it. You'll really regret it someday, but sometimes it doesn't matter. Gotta do what you gotta do.

x2 on the front push bar, I like it, who makes it?

thanxs for the comments. The bumper came with the truck when I bought it have no other info on it. This truck was on used victoria awhile back. The truck will be sold to a buddy, but if you can offer $4600 It's yours. Probly one of the best examples of a 1st gen on the island. No drivetrain issues at all. Dont want to sell it, But south america is calling me, and I dont feel like sticking around for monsoon season this winter haha. When i return in the spring I'll pick another 1st gen up thats a gurantee.

Super clean yotas

Islandyota I think in a few years you will wish ya could have that. How many do ya see that good. All these 1st nad 2nd gen trucks are getting rare without having to repair the lug nuts and such. Get them while ya can
