how did you get the windows up and down for that year?? Thats funny...No manual cranks means power windows?????

 

Oh man, I meant to say power LOCKS, not windows! I knew it had power windows. d'oh.

I couldn't put the windows down for a year. It was a pain in the rear that's for sure.

 

I found out that I really miss mine after I had to sell it I will definitely be getting another one, no doubt.

 

This has been a great thread! Just read through the whole thing, and even though I won't have my truck for another 6 weeks or so, I've learned so much!

 

Mine broke and the door was always hanging down, I had to put velcro to keep it up..lol, but I still loved that thing.

 

But in the summer, the air conditioner cooled it off very quickly

 

LOL, we just figured that out on our 85 fourrunner not that long ago too, my 12 year old figured it out...

 

Was it a power moonroof? Mine had one of those but I never knew you could remove it from the vehicle.

 

I found out that with a little convincing and coersing, a chevy 350 will fit in a 91 runner! Also that when doing a sas you should make sure the springs are put in the right way!

 

my 99 4runner wont let me lock my doors with the key in the ignition.(saved my a$$ a couple times)
o and every time i drive my 99 i get a thought in my mind like this is my dream truck!!!!

and i LOVE TOYOTA!!!!!

 

I learned that my wife is trying to kill me by whiplash because she can't drive stick. I also learned that a stock 98 4runner with the right driver will go farther than a jeep guy....because the jeep falls apart 1/4 way through the trail.

 

That place is awesome for your DL while camping or wheeling

 

that my brake lines have a small leak in them somewhere

 

a week after buying my runner i went found in the rear side panels the washer fluid resivor, the stock jack, a 12 ga barrel, lots of nice bungee cords, some wrenches, screw drivers, a roll of tape, a roll of window tint, and an extra set of head light bezels..
i also found out with two screws the sunroof is fully removable and has a little chrome wind sheild underneath.
and ive found that you can put 2nd gen rear shoulder belts on first gen by mounting them on the roll bar.
and lastly the rear deck of the runner has tie downs hidden in the carpet.

 

i found out the other night that the in cab will turn on when i open the passenger door but only about 20% of the time

i also found out that no matter how many time people (mainly brothers) rip on "gutless 4 bangers" they ALWAYS sit in the drivers seat of my stock 88 runner and say " dude i need to drive this!"

and last of all (for tonight ) i found out that the 2 guys sitting on my shoulders (1 with a halo the other with horns) always tell me " you can get thru that mud pit in 2wd .... no problem!" (where the heck are they when i am shin deep in mud locking in the front?)

 

haha i used to do the same thing untill i learned keep the hubs locked and try it in 2 then if i get stuck just put it in 4..

 

i happens just often enough to be iritating. but my wife has insisted that i keep an extra set of boots in the truck so when i do have to lock in in the mud i am not getting mud all over my " nice" shoes again

 

Hot woman love a solid axle swap , guy's are jealous/envious of them

 

yea i just went through the same thing with my woman after ruining 2 pairs of "nice" shoes to stop the complaining i went to walmart n picked up a pair of rain boots for less then 20$ but kinda hard to drive in em.

 

i wear skate shoes that are never tight so i just slip them off and pull on the boots and lock in now. like my father inlaw told me b4 i got married " a happy wife makes a happy life"
