To rockingthe2, I will try to get some pics this week for you. Like Blue Steel said, its pretty simple and if you are thinking about doing it, I say go for it. Totally worth it in my eyes.
Time to get the tri tip on the grill
. Happy Independence day to the American yotatechians. Be safe.

I started working on mine today but I only have the small cans or a 30mm which is pretty big, it fits in between the seats but takes some muscle to get it in. So ill finish once i can find a 40mm like yours. I did get the heater and everything else out and hoses re-routed, hole is still in the floor for the moment.

You guys do know that the SR5 Pickups had a double lid center console, right?
Instead of rear heat under the center console, it's all storage.
So instead of using an ugly-as-sin ammo can, how about making it look factory?
As for running a bypass, why not just use the plumbing from the pickups? They didn't have rear heat. Just one hose from the engine coolant to the switching valve and then to the heater core in the dash, then back out into the coolant system.
Spend a little time in the junkyard and you'll be surprised at what you can cross-over between the 4Runner and Pickup.
