My 4Runner (86) came from Arizona the those back panels pretty much fell apart when I took them out. Built new panels out of 1/8" plywood and wrapped it in carbon fiber car wrap. Came out really nice. Also made a cover for the tailgate and also for the back of the rear seats.
I was thinking about that but not sure if that liner is safe in an interior space? (For breathing) I reached out to Lizard Skin which is a spray on insulation and they said they’re the same as Kilmat, just a different application (spray vs stick on)
Do you think you could brush on some epoxy or fiberglass resin on the back side of those rear panels to strengthen them and make them a little thicker?
Hey man! Love your channel, thanks for checking my stuff out! I had thought about that and will probably try that or something similar. There’s also a guy on instagram called keypanels that makes really cool repro panels.
After getting stuck deep in a bog hole and ruining all my carpet I removed it and ended up keeing the exposed metal look. I actually prefer it this way as its easier to clean and I can just access the drain plugs! 😂
The cut wires in the rear may have been to a trailer plug. The black molding around the windshield isn’t sealing it, the windshield is sealed in with black adhesive. The factory windshield had clips and metal trim around it. You can put silicone under it and tape it down flat, then it will stay. 🤘🏽
What color should we use for the vinyl/carpet flooring? What sound deadener do you guys like? Any advice for paint to use for those rear panels? Thanks for watching!
Hey RM, I have a 1985 4runner SR5 5 speed with a weeping firewall or something in that area on the driver's side up besides the left foot rest. any idea what the culprit is?

I did something similar on an 86 I used to own too. I really want to try out repro panels from a guy I found on instagram.
Please keep these 4runner vids coming! Thank you
Will do! The next video will be out soon, it’s taking longer than expected. A lot of work!

9:30 That looks like they spliced into the taillight wiring for a trailer Harness.

It's to bypass the safety switch on the tailgate that stops the back window from working.

Love the channel! Can you do a video on fixing the tailgate? The window, the lock and the wiring on the tailgate
Dude, I was half expecting you to pop out with a 9v battery and some hadji sandles!! Don't like seeing rando wires running through vehicles!😬😬
I have a 05 Ford Escape Hybrid that I pretend is a 4runner/land cruiser. I'm wierd.
