I've been dormant on this site for quite a few years now. Used to have a 2018 FJ Cruiser, then a 1988 4Runner, then a 2014 4Runner and now, since March of this year (2022), I've had this 1987 4Runner. Super happy to be back in a 1st gen 4Runner! No, this is not my daily. I have a company vehicle. But this sure is a fun hobby vehicle and with my kids being 4 and 1.5 years, I'm excited to share a mechanical hobby with them as they grow up. It's very clean, someone cared for it for the most part. Although it's definitely had a few hacks working on it at times...
Here goes some pics:
When I bought it, it had this large basket rack on it. Not sure who fabbed this thing up but I thought it looked great.

Recently, I removed the rack. Holy cow was it heavy. I will likely put it back on at some point. Need to track down a leak between the removable top and back of cab. Once that's resolved, I'll probably put the rack back on.
