I should have attached the close-ups of the decals.

That's a nice looking 4Runner. It looks like the new FJ Cruiser "fusion sun" yellow. I've thought about painting mine that color.

The other decal.

This 4Rnr looks sick. I noticed that the interior looks like it's black. The Cargo area side panels look brand new from the pics. Could you give me a little insight as to what you did to the interior. I'm restoring my 89, and I'd like to go with black interior, but have been advised by a local custom interior shop that the black vinyl and plastic paints don't hold up very well.

Thanks in advance,

Travis

You want me to help you to make your Runner look sick also?????

Nothing has been done to the interior except add gray sheepskin seat covers. Everything else is original.

Haha, why yes, yes I would!

Your Runner is in great shape. Did you do the body work yourself or have it done by a shop?

I finally gave in and began painting my cargo panels black. I put in a new carpet kit and all black plastic in the cargo area. Still debating on the passenger area as to wether or not I want to paint all that black or not. Might be biting off more than I can chew. I took the door panels in to a custom shop to get them reupholstered. I originally planned to do it all myself (bought the vinyl, foam and glue) but unfortunately I have more money than I have time, so off to the shop they went. I'd like to do as much of the restoration myself as I can, but I really don't have a clue what I'm doing, lol.

Will post pics along the way...

The body needed no work. I had it painted at a local shop and I put the fender flairs and the Can-Back top on. Have planned on redoing the interior but have not gotten around to it.

looks pretty good...

Are you happy with the Can-Back cover? Have you had any problems with it?

I'm debating between getting the can-back and the Killer Toy Top. I found the Killer Toy Top at http://www.killertoytops.com/?q=node/13/image_gallery
It looks pretty sick to me, but I don't know the differences.

I'll post some pics of my interior once I get it done. I'm doing the interior before the body work. About half way there.

To tell the truth, I did not look at any other tops. I saw a Can-Back, liked it, and bought one.

Will be interested in seeing your finished interior work.
