This is NOT  

Us normies who don't have six-figure rigs need adventure too! Thanks for commenting!

Appreciate that! My magic 8-ball says "outlook good."

Thanks for sticking around!

:Thank you for sticking around!

Appreciate you sticking around!

👊🏼

city living is overrated

Don’t delay, overland today! For real though, exposure to nature is known to be therapeutic. I hope you find what you need out there. Happy trails!

Good tip! I'll keep that in mind for a future trip. Thanks for sticking around!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Your hometown area is awesome and I truly hope it doesn't get ruined like so many other parts of CA.

I try to constantly work on that so I appreciate your comment 😃

Thank you for watching and commenting!

I'm sorry to hear that 😕 The bay area was a nicer place overall back in the 80s/90s when I was growing up imho, but yes, bay area people have collectively ruined many things. But, I suppose that's the price of "progress" and also that I need to learn to just appreciate things in the moment instead of always burdening myself with hindsight.

@@ggg4runner that is true…the Bay Area was such a nice place to visit in the 70’ and 80’s….not sure about the 90’s!! Calistoga had a population of about 1500-1800 back when we lived there…now about 5,000? Big changes, but like you said…that’s “progress”! Foster City was a nice “bedroom” community back then as well…not so much last time we visited. Same with San Jose…not any longer! But like you said, living in the past doesn’t do any good! Life is about now and tomorrow….opportunities! I enjoy your “love affair” with your Toy! Have had several 4-Runners (first one was an ‘85!) and small pickups before the had Tacomas…also back in the 80’s and early 90’s--all great vehicles and I still miss my ‘68 LC! Three on the tree and that old iron 6 cyl….drove it from Calistoga to Phoenix and from Phoenix to Fresno back in 1974! 55 mph all the way!!! I’ve rambled on long enough! Hope you had a great week end!

back at you ❤️

Deserve it brother

Yeah, I got lucky with which doctor was working the day I went to the ER. The method he used (laterally-based thenar flap fingertip reconstruction) was documented as early as 1926 but my doctor stated that the vast majority of ER doctors don't even know the procedure. Apparently, also according to my doctor, the middle finger is the most often injured finger since it's the longest one. Yes, weird trivia I know. Thank you for watching!

true, and I guess if things were closer people would've ruined it by now

I like them overall, more comfortable to me than stock. But, PRPs require some work to install in a Toyota, it doesn't just bolt in. Keep in mind PRPs are suspension seats so make sure that's what you want. If I had the money I probably would've gone Scheel-mann (not a suspension seat but very ergonomic).

If I'm not mistaken, and I am certainly no 1st gen 4Runner expert, 1985 was the final year for the solid front axle AND you have the 22R-E engine. You sir have kind of a crown jewel of 1st gen 4Runners so congrats! And yes, that would make a fine foundation for an overland vehicle, heck, I'd be wanting to go full-on pop-up camper build on one of those. Do I sound a tad jealous? Cuz I am. I wish you many rad adventures and happy trails brother! Thanks for watching!

They're just PRP Enduro Elite seats (prpseats.com). It seems like PRP has updated the Enduro line since I bought mine over a year ago and it looks like the Enduro Daily is the most similar to mine. I ordered mine with the seat heaters option which is a nice touch. They also have options for inflatable lumbar support but the best part about PRP is that you can have them made with whatever fabrics/colors they stock. So I chose colors that more or less match my Moon Mist (gray) interior and I opted to go with tweed so that it doesn't burn you sitting in the sun. They are not fun to mount if you want it to slide still. I ordered a slider bracket specifically for 3rd Gen 4Rs from wedgebrackets.com and then used the PRP universal angle brackets and forced them to work together. The stock manual seats are kind of seat+bracket together so unless you want to crazy modify the stock seat 'bracket" you have to go aftermarket or custom. The issue with all of this is you end up with a very tall seat compared to stock. It's basically like setting the stock seat to maximum height. I'm only 5'10" and I only have about 2 inches of headroom now from the moon roof. But even with those couple of negatives, they are much more comfy (subjectively of course) and since PRPs are suspension seats they do great on trails and with CA Bay Area potholes lol. My lower back never gets sore with these seat and it used to get sore after just a 2 hour drive with the stock seats. Hope that helps.

@@ggg4runner thanks much for the quick reply....I'm 6 ft and am about an inch or so away...might be too tall
