Took the top off the 4runner today

It's been really warm so I decided to take the top off and install the bikini top I bought last winter.

I also installed the Grant wheel I just got on Ebay for $25.00.

As easy as pulling the old one off with a puller and bolting the new one on, very simple!

Looks good! I was trying to get a feel of what mine would look like with no top and 32's.
Where did you get the bikini top? I need to pick one up for this summer!

I dont have anything that could be stolen. Plus, I just remove the coil wire so the truck wont start. Who carries around a spare plug wire, AND could figure it out anyways lol.

even with the top on and doors locked...if a thief really wants in my truck, they are getting in to matter what. This way, they dont destroy my door locks or glass trying to get it.

Don't say that. I hate someone steal my TomTom One between 4:30 and 6:00 pm in broad daylight. They just broke my driver side window and took it....

I guess I tend to put more trust in people than I should. I also have a modded Wrangler and no one has ever bothered it (knock on wood)

The navi was in my BMW for months and nobody ever touched it, but the day I put it in the just purchased 4runner, I came out of my customers and my window was scattered on the ground... People like that really get under my skin...

Thanks guys! I got the bikini top from another member last winter. Taking the top off was really easy to about half an hour. I made the bumper and tire carrier. I like the Grant wheel, it has a good feel to it.

Deathcougar, I have thought about some tube doors, your truck is really clean.

I am worried about getting stuff stolen, it's not my daily driver so I won't be leaving it parked much. I cleaned out the garage so I can park inside when I am not home. I want to find a lock for the glovebox, someone was selling them on Ebay awhile back.

If you have a first gen and are thinking about taking the top off for summer, stop thinking and do it!
