    No problem.

    I think I paid 250 for it. Definitely a good investment. Try looking on craigslist. That's where I found mine.
    To broaden your search, The tacoma bed has the same top dimensions.
    Hope that helps.:)

    Update

    Hey James, Howz it goin? I've been lagging on my truck lately but I did make some BIG progress. I've finally hooked up all the electricals temporarily ziptied in place. I actually got the truck driveable now. Took the truck out and drove it around my neighborhood for a shake down. Seat belts and an oil change is all I need to do now before I go and have it smogged. My plans are to have it done by this Friday but things can change.

    I really miss my 4runner. Maybe in the future I can pick up another. RC Nitro trucks/Helicopters got my busy at the moment. I'll also considering starting up another saltwater fishtank. I've just got too many hobbies. You know how it is.

    It's been awhile.

    Some progress Today. I finally got a chance Today to start disassembling the front so I can eventually "Z" the front end. Only wires I had to cut were the driver's side turn signal and parking light. Hopefully by Today, I should be completely prepped to start measuring/cutting (which I plan to do Saturday morning).

    It's been awhile

    Since the beginning of the month till now. I tore apart the front end in order to cut and lower the frame horns so that the coresupport lines everything back up with the sheet metal. Since I have the front end removed, I decided to remove all the warrenty'd parts and get them replaced before I go and bolting everything back up. My plans are to get my new parts back home this weekend and get everything bolted back in by next weekend. Hopefully, I'll be able to drive this thing in one piece and maybe cruise by the end of the year. At least that was my goal here when I started the body drop. I'll post pics as soon as I get home tonight.

    some more

    I also picked up some extra sheet metal to close up the hole in the back of the cab.

    The last pic is its current state. Waiting for new parts to go in then re-do valve cover gasket (leaking) and finally pressure wash the engine bay before buttoning everything back up.

    Dec 12th Update

    Got some work done this weekend. Installed my new parts (still need the alt.) onto semi-washed motor. Painted my valve cover while it was removed and cleaned too. I found this master clutch cylinder off a parts truck that was previously bagged. I'm guessing it's off an 86 or older toyota pickup but not sure. A little bit of grinding for clearance and it fits. So the body drop appears to be complete (minus the hood... still thinking of ideas for this). I'm planning to work on cleaning up the wire harness this coming weekend and finally firing this this thing up the following weekend. Here's some pics:

    12/28 update

    Cleaned up the engine bay Today and took her out for a spin. Still need to figure out the grill mounting and hood scoop ideas. Other than that, everything up front is now bolted in. Here's some pics:
