    Good to hear!

    Awesome. I want an awning. Probably gonna grab one of CVT's summit awnings. I like the ability to open up some shade. Probably passenger side it again.

    No idea. It's a grizzly zip locker and will come with an ARB compressor. There's a seal blown in the locker itself, so oil gets in the air line, but it still works 100% of the time. Probably $500 ish

    Good price, I've thought about putting a locker in the 4runner and can get a complete rear axle and 4.30 e-locker with front diff for $500. Been debating what I want to do with the 4runner and sadly I think it will be for sale soon. I never drive it and really don't want to keep building/dumping money into a truck I have no intention of keeping. Rather sell now and have a bit of cash for a clean 1st gen if one pops up.

    That makes more sense to me. Especially because you've always wanted a first gen.

    Alright I talked to my dad. He thinks we can make something similar to that drawer for boxes out of plywood. Will just need a center support for strength. Might get started next week so I can test it camping in July!

    Yeah was looking at it thinking I'll need to do LBJ's, complete fluid change, UCA's eventually and tons of other miscellaneous stuff that I have no interest in doing/spending money on. Rather do all that on a truck I will keep.

    Not bad, but I'm looking for a 88 or 89. Want to do a 3.4 swap eventually and easier to do on the 3.0. Plus a decent 85 or 84 are priced like gold.

    That's the problem, the already swapped ones are $ because it's a pain to do and rare. There was one here for 15k with triple sticks and sas that was amazing. But 15k...

    Got a chance to trade my 97 explorer for an 06 runner 4X4 with a blown motor. I can get a motor for like 2K. Worth it, or is 06 not a good year for the runner?
