Thanks guys, the comments keep me motivated
this truck is awesome! i was in portugal this summer to see my grandparents and saw a few second and third gen double cabs but yours has way more room seem like. you really do some awesome work, im sure you'll have a shop some day. I would hate to see that thing beat to hell though. build a light buggy or f toy and haul it with this one after the 3.4 swap just might have to add a sc too lol.
from talking to some guys overseas I think my cab is about 10" longer than the ones they get over there, the leg room in the back of mine is nice to have and quite a bit more than you'd have in a stock 4runner. I am planning on a buggy after i get all the parts, i'll be using my 22r, tranny, and axles, now just to decide between going for an f-toy or building my own tube chassis
finally got my bender set up, built a stand for it and the air over hydro ram
