My 86 is at the mechanic now getting some new and some used steering and front suspension parts from a 94. It will probably be going back to get the rear end and leaf springs from that 94 later.
@@johnsonja329 Oh man. That's the one thing I didn't have to deal with. Mine was originally a CA car and totally rust free. Are you rewelding a new floor in?
@@johnsonja329 Oh man. The damned tailgate. It's easily the Achilles heel of this truck. Good luck finding a new one. I'm sure they're out there. I posted a tailgate maintenance video a week or so ago. I'm super happy with the condition on mine now but it started out a hot mess. What sucks is if your tailgate doesn't work, then you technically don't have a 4Runner. It really is a bs weak point. Well good luck with the restoration. I plan to post a few interior restoration videos in the coming weeks so stay tuned. The interior stuff is really easy to do and it's very very rewarding.
That carwash is going to shred your new paint job! All of those brushes/rollers are dragging dirt around on your paint. Always go touchless or wash yourself if you want to protect your paint.
lol. What is this a crossover episode? Thanks for following. The short answer is no. I tried a couple of units but decided it didn't make enough sense given the oem screen was working okay and I technically don't need CarPlay in my golf cart.

My 22re on 31s works to do 70-80, even in 5th gear.
I really would love to do a 22RE vs V6 video asap. Anyone in SoCal with a 22RE who wants to volunteer ...?
@@AverageCarGuy wish I had that weather. I'm up here in Wisconsin replacing floor pans because of the rust on the 1st gen I just bought.

@AverageCarGuy just near the front where the driver's feet sit. The rest is body panel work, and looking for a new rear tailgate.

Our ‘87 emergency/Parking break wire broke and we can’t get a replacement. Looked everywhere, even online in Japan. Any ideas anyone ???
Nice truck! It looks like the patina on the exterior from the first video is gone. Did you paint it yourself?
I found a local paint shop that did a great job. It wasn't cheap. But it was well worth it. The truck looks brand new now.
I think the top weighs closer to 200 lbs. 3 people to remove it is ok, 4 is better if you have that many available to ensure no body damage.
Did it myself... did scratch the corner of my 4runner. Two people for sure you can do it if you need to. It IS heavy as f though
I just yanked mine off and slapped a softopper on. Sold the hardtop for $200 on marketplace.

Did you ever figure out the touch screen display on evulition golf cart

Good bye paint
