It was off 90% of the time...regardless of the temps outside. Left the top at my parents\u2019 house and bought a soft top for when it rained. Having owned the truck all through college, albeit completely unsafe, I frequently had way more passengers riding in the backseat than there were seat belts. The term \u201cdouble buckle\u201d was more like triple buckle. Everyone loved it. \n\nI\u2019ve lost count of the numerous road trips we took in it. Whether it was driving to (and on) the beach, to going camping or skiing in the mountains, to football games or just playing cards and hanging out with friends in the back after a late night, we did it all. \n\nHence the reasons I want another one; not for those exact experiences of course, but for the experiences these trucks offer. As a \u201cresponsible\u201d adult now (I use that term loosely), I definitely appreciate these trucks much more than I ever did in college. Besides, I don\u2019t foresee automakers of today ever coming close to achieving the uniqueness, versatility and reliability that Toyota did with these trucks. 1st Gen 4Runners truly are a special vehicle.", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1570473530, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 3716631, "authorName": "DannyDee", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/dannydee/", "bidAmount": 9300, "content": "$9,300 bid placed by DannyDee", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570473541, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716653, "authorName": "DHD", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/dhd/", "bidAmount": 9400, "content": "$9,400 bid placed by DHD", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570473651, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716694, "authorName": "Kmann27", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kmann27/", "bidAmount": 9500, "content": "$9,500 bid placed by Kmann27", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570473874, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716717, "authorName": "DHD", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/dhd/", "bidAmount": 9600, "content": "$9,600 bid placed by DHD", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570473972, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716748, "authorName": "Gunner83", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/gunner83/", "bidAmount": 9700, "content": "$9,700 bid placed by Gunner83", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474133, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716753, "authorName": "Bri-G", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bri-g/", "bidAmount": 9800, "content": "$9,800 bid placed by Bri-G", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474146, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716755, "authorName": "DHD", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/dhd/", "bidAmount": 9900, "content": "$9,900 bid placed by DHD", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474157, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716765, "authorName": "totally80s", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/totally80s/", "bidAmount": 11000, "content": "$11,000 bid placed by totally80s", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474191, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716772, "authorName": "Bri-G", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bri-g/", "bidAmount": 11300, "content": "$11,300 bid placed by Bri-G", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474231, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716778, "authorName": "totally80s", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/totally80s/", "bidAmount": 12000, "content": "$12,000 bid placed by totally80s", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474252, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716835, "authorName": "318aye", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/318aye/", "bidAmount": 12250, "content": "$12,250 bid placed by 318aye", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474550, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716859, "authorName": "totally80s", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/totally80s/", "bidAmount": 12500, "content": "$12,500 bid placed by totally80s", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474698, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716869, "authorName": "Toyotakyle (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/toyotakyle/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "reserve met!", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1570474747, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 3716880, "authorName": "10aet2", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/10aet2/", "bidAmount": 12750, "content": "$12,750 bid placed by 10aet2", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474806, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716884, "authorName": "totally80s", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/totally80s/", "bidAmount": 13250, "content": "$13,250 bid placed by totally80s", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474828, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716906, "authorName": "10aet2", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/10aet2/", "bidAmount": 13500, "content": "$13,500 bid placed by 10aet2", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570474927, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716913, "authorName": "BrianS", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/brians/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Thank You @Toyotakyle I always love it when a seller gives The Green Light!", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1570474983, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 3716919, "authorName": "leong19912008", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/leong19912008/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Go go go", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1570474998, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 3716923, "authorName": "totally80s", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/totally80s/", "bidAmount": 14000, "content": "$14,000 bid placed by totally80s", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1570475019, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 3716926, "authorName": "EveryDrop", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/everydrop/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Exactly.
