Just realized I haven't posted anything about my new truck here, short of posting the craigslist ad I bought it from in the car finds thread.

That's a mighty fine truck you have there.

Nice!

I'd rock that truck.

Miss my runner something fierce. I think once the M37 is done im gonna pick up another 4 runner for a trail rig...

I love those. And I'm glad someone actually takes the roof off of theirs.

They're my favorite vehicles ever. I'm disappointed so few people do take the roof off.

Also, it caught itself on fire a few days ago while it was parked at work. The wiring going into the back of the alternator. So it's currently laid up until I can fix that.

i used to wonder why people didn't take the roofs off their Blazers until i helped my mom's late hubby take the one off his 87... it was heavier than a dead fucking minister.

Yeah, it's got some weight to it. Once I buy a house, and we're shopping now, I'm going to build a pulley contraption in the ceiling of the garage to lift it off.

I used to pull the top and both doors as soon as it was warm enough to drive it everyday with a coat on. And leave it that way until the first snow. A/c doesnt hold a candle to an open cab.

when old age you reach, think like that you will not.

im with you, when i bought the grand prix i filled the AC with bastard gas since i didnt know if the compressor worked, well its held for 3 years and keeps the car frigid! ac goes on in april and off in november

Very little humidity out here in the west so its a bit different. No way would I do it out that way.

Eh, I guess I'm just used to it. I drive a delivery van for a living and on the hottest of days, the window's down and the ac never goes above fan speed 2.

Edit: though it's worth pointing out that that's Ohio hottest of days. I've visited Mississippi in August, and that's windows up and ac on full blast shit.
