My name is Travis. I am a senior Texas A&M University and I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I've owned nothing but Toyotas ever since I was old enough to drive and just recently got a 1981 Toyota Trekker. Its in horrible condition. Found this website...

Hi Corey...
My name is Michael. You are currently building the extended Trekker conversion for me and my 3 year old son. Thought i had better sign up and post what I am doing to the truck as a whole.
I think you have come up with a great idea reviving / drawing attention to the Trekker's!
Michael

welcome aboard Seth ...
Trekker conversion for a 4runner ? not sure I understand what you mean .. maybe a "look alike" ?
we already make 4runner 1/4r's stock and custom ..

always been more fond of the lines on the 81 to 83 trucks... so a body conversion
I need new quarters and fenders, so whats a hood and doors :-) would it be way crazy fab though. my only worry.
looking for that different look, plus I prefer the 81-83 look, like maybe some long bed bed sides cut into the body, and fenders

that would be a huge amount of work .. and I think , not a big seller . if I were you , I would start looking for a decent 79-83 short box to buy , and get in line for one of our Trekker conversion kits . If you want a unique 4runner , check out our custom 1/4rs  |

Well true... and your flared fenders and quarters look awesome. just raining too much here so too much time thinking, not enough time to wrench.  |

Well, I guess the next question do you ever plan to do a front truck tub/cab?
Those of us in the rust belt may be interested.
I always thought it would be fun to build a truck.. literally from the ground up with new/restored parts.
I think after this 4runner I will never want to touch a rusty heap again.
