    That thing looks cool!! Me like (a lot). Toyota should bring back the 2 door 4Runner.

    That's a King Electric heater that'll likely be overkill - a small space heater rose the temperature to the low 60s in a couple hours due to the spray foam insulation.

    /4Runner. Same thing back then.

    A 2 door 4Runner could be pretty cool.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Wouldnt sell. As much as we all want to see it... Plus I doubt it would be price competitive.

    Well they called it the Hilux surf originally because the 4Runner name didn't exist. But yes same thing :D

    That's what we call the two-wheel drive runners. Lol

    Toyota trekker only had a 6 ft bed. Not "full size" enough for the die hard full size bros

    Not in the US. We had the Trekker, then we got the 4Runner. ;)

    The Surf and the 4Runner both came out in '83 as an '84.

    Full disclosure: I wasn't actually sure about that so I looked it up. I was pretty sure the Surf name was only used in other markets, though.

    Yes, it was Winnebago. I didn't know that, either, until today. I don't think I've ever seen one in person.

    True. And, I suppose it would be easy to mistake for a regular pickup with a cap, if you didn't know what you were looking at

    10k watter? I don't think the 7500 would be overkill. Better to have enough than one that struggles.
    I don't have 240 or gas in my garage. Trying to figure out my best options because touching 200V service or gas lines are 2 things I won't touch. Going to have to peel open the wallet to pay someone. :eek:

    Is your garage attached, or detached? If attached, how far from the panel, and what size is your service (main breaker or fuse)?

    Attached garage, opposite of 'breaker' panel. Probably 70-90ft away.
    There are 2 lines that go directly to the garage. 1 for a 20amp outlet and 1 for ALL the lights and 15amp.
