Oh man, I meant to say power LOCKS, not windows! I knew it had power windows. d'oh.
I couldn't put the windows down for a year. It was a pain in the rear that's for sure.

I found that card holder thing a week after buying it. What exactly is that thing for??
there was a picture of the P/O's 3rd grade son "Logan" in there that my friend found and was like "who the hell is this??"
There was also a toy shark under the seats i found when I finally put them down.

After finding out that the inside of the back window is difficult to clean on a 2nd gen 4runner i also found out that the cup holders are specifically placed where they are for coffee drinkers!! Anyone that's been driving around during a cold morning with the heat on thru the dash while your coffee was in the cup holder knows that your coffee cup is nice and hot from the heat blowing over it. My coffee is always hot and those people complaining that they're poorly placed on the dash aren't coffee drinkers, lol. Way to go toyota engineers!

I found out that with a little convincing and coersing, a chevy 350 will fit in a 91 runner! Also that when doing a sas you should make sure the springs are put in the right way!

I learned that my wife is trying to kill me by whiplash because she can't drive stick. I also learned that a stock 98 4runner with the right driver will go farther than a jeep guy....because the jeep falls apart 1/4 way through the trail.

a week after buying my runner i went found in the rear side panels the washer fluid resivor, the stock jack, a 12 ga barrel, lots of nice bungee cords, some wrenches, screw drivers, a roll of tape, a roll of window tint, and an extra set of head light bezels.. 
i also found out with two screws the sunroof is fully removable and has a little chrome wind sheild underneath.
and ive found that you can put 2nd gen rear shoulder belts on first gen by mounting them on the roll bar.
and lastly the rear deck of the runner has tie downs hidden in the carpet.

i found out the other night that the in cab will turn on when i open the passenger door but only about 20% of the time
i also found out that no matter how many time people (mainly brothers) rip on "gutless 4 bangers" they ALWAYS sit in the drivers seat of my stock 88 runner and say " dude i need to drive this!"
and last of all (for tonight ) i found out that the 2 guys sitting on my shoulders (1 with a halo the other with horns) always tell me " you can get thru that mud pit in 2wd .... no problem!" (where the heck are they when i am shin deep in mud locking in the front?)
