Bikeric, thanks for the pics.
Since i am totally new to 4runners, I would still need an ashtray and radio to complete this area of my runner?
And my should be black in color and not tan/brown?
Do you have a price in mind and maybe flat rate shipping to Cali?

been on a couple more "day" trips in 4runner #1. still getting solid gas mileage. yesterday's trip, of 350 miles, returned 23 mpg - best i've recorded in this one, but #2 does get higher mpg.
pics from the trip a few weeks ago, which included running the kancamagus. of course it was raining, which has been our summer so far.
and some pics from yesterday's "day" trip (the 350+ mile one). part of it went through dixville notch, and then into western maine. finally had a day where it wasn't always raining/cloudy, although we drove through some heavy rain a few times..

the tires shown on it are 30x9.5x15. i also run a set of 32x11.5x15 on another set of the alloys (although those are offset 8 instead of the offset 15 shown above). 4runner #2 (white) runs 235/75r15 summer tires, too, on the oem chrome wheels. the secret to decent mileage is to do a lot of driving at 50 to 60 mph, with limited 65+ driving.
and it rained a lot here earlier today - somewhere around 1.5 to 2 inches - to go along with the 10 to 15 inches we've got since june 27.
edit: #2 just returned 24.3 mpg for the tank. i use 4runner #2 as the summer DD, and #1 as the winter DD. end up with about 8 to 12K miles per 4runner per year.
