square hole cover thingy?

 

Oh that? Thats the trap door

 

Hey 2DoorRunner - for your passenger seat, there should be a "kick pedal" on the back, outer side, wihch the rear passenger would press to scoot the seat forward (and then open the door with the second handle).

Do you not have that either?

I'd heard about the roll bar seatbelts before - bet those holes would be great for screwing in mounts for a soft top/bikini top.

 

I'll snap a pic. If I can find my darn camera.

 

yeah, its right below the catylitic inverter and behind the headlight fluid bleed line

 

the square hole cover thingy: notice there is also a nut tacked in the middle lol

 

Yeah i have the right seat with the foot pedal and everything. Something must just be disconnected.

And i wonder if that plate has something to do with the way the body moved through the assembly line?

 

I thought the same thing too, however it's not exactly centered. It's more to the passenger side. Doesn't look like it's easily removed either.

 

might have to get in contact with some aussi's to see if the hilux has the same square cover.

I have wondered about it for years. now you got me thinking to do a google search. I bet it has a specific name and google won't tell meet shtick about it.

 

yeah google won't help unless we know the name of it. I'll look though the part catalog and see if I see it, but I doubt it.

 

i think they did it to make people wonder why they didnt do it...s that way, they will be like "hey, i wanna see for myself, im gonna go buy a 4runner!!"

its their secret to get people to buy 4runners!!

 

well dang........

 

i think the real question is why did teuf...?

 

the plate thingy is for models that had pass through A/C for cab over mounted campers.

 

makes sense for the first gen pickups but was not aware that the 85-88 body style had a camper option.

 

I have 4-prong female plugs in the drivers side rear panels and have know idea what they were for.

 

whats with the little space on the inside of the front fenders that you can see in when the door is open? i looked in there one day and saw tons of mud caked in there and sprayed it out. its like its just asking to get full of crap lol.



WTF...

 

it's so your body and frame rust out, making you want to buy a new yota.

naw, but i think it's just a void of body, frame, engine, and other stuff, like between the inner and outer sides of the bed

 

lol no kidding

yeah but like the could have sealed it off so nothing could collect in there. my buddies 4runner has rusted right through right in that same spot for the same reason lol
