Nice Job! I have the 1985 4runner SR5 5 speed like the one you have... water is coming in from somewhere behind the fuse panel in corner.... any ideas how to remedy this ?

Looking good! Got the same plan for my 88, I can already tell my rust is way worse than yours though haha 😭

Still have the runner? I’m interested

My grandpa had a 1988 4Runner and sold it a few years ago and it had 257,000 miles. He said he loved it, but he never really drove it anymore and it kind-of started to fall apart, so he sold it for $500.

Very well done. Thank you for sharing

Good idea bro, I think you can do a little bit better, like introduce the screws from the order side that way they we’re invisibles

Where are you located

This is best and easy

Hey, I might be getting a 1st gen 4runner. I have some questions about owning it. How can I message you?

Thanks for creating a video for this. I basically came up with a similar design but without the putting the permanent water feed into the basin....that’s a nice addition. I worry about the electrical safety of the pump and would made sure there is a GFCI on the circuit that powers the pump.

I would have done an over flow drain, that way the water could get to a certain depth before it drains back into the bucket, then you could add toy boats and toy fish with fishing poles!

Just my advice on the motor change you want, I have a ‘88 V6 and the power is ample if healthy, fresh motors can be had for 1500, mine has 284k miles and strong as new! I had bought new a 4runner and truck in ‘90 that had the V6.
