FYI Killer Toy Tops is back! They sold the business and the new owners are running it as it was before.

I’ve got a 1st and 5th gen but the 1st gen will always be the fun one to drive. Light, nimble, and 5 speed (although it’s slow as a turtle)! Great platform to build a badass wheeler.

[@derek9630]

These videos are so good man. I learn so much! Please never stop.

[@hakosan86]

Thanks for the comment, it made my day!

[@aidanjacobson2070]

i agree with this guy.

[@MFDK100]

I built a hoist system in my garage for removing my top by myself. Comes off in May, goes back on in september-october. Takes about an hour but it's 💯 worth it. Keeps the top high off the floor too so I can park my motorcycle and tool boxes underneath.

thanks for the presererad mention. great source

[@tonymazza8305]

We have an '86 Turbo and an '87 SR5. Both have SoftToppers and we love them. Wife's is always in Safari mode unless there's a big storm. Had to put a new motor in the '87 after 387k miles (went with a Jasper Engines long block). Highly recommend the ARB/OME springs! Thanks for the videos and link to PreserveRad!

[@billythomas4527]

How many miles on the Turbo?

[@BloodMonkey5806]

Haha Aussie mods ftw 👌 good suspension on and off road is super necessary pretty much everywhere here, but especially in Western Aus and the Territory where almost everyone has a 4x4

[@EcBuddy123]

My first mod should be the put floor boards in it.

[@cammk9415]

That was mine 😂

[@Santia6089]

the zuk mod is the way to go on these for rear sag. plenty of info on how-to and very cheap with brand new moog coils for a jeep

[@4runnerchap]

I built a table in the shape of a U in order to slide my top off and on myself. You can see in one of my shorts. Easier than a pully system or if it doesn't fit in your garage!

[@toyotalover1]

Yeah I Need those 33” currently on 31” but I just did the 2” lift hopefully hey fit 😅

[@dadgarage7966]

Before anything, get a moderately priced 120V welder and a bottle shielding gas, teach yourself to weld, and repair the inner frame rails, rear tubular cross member and wheel arches.

[@JustS0meNO0b]

would love to see a vid on lincoln ls, wonder how much info you can actually find

[@hakosan86]

Will try to do so!

[@standardarm63]

I uste to be always looking at seats. They were easy to find, and roughly 300 a seat until about ten years ago. Ive read Civic seats drop in. I haven't tried that.

[@jerseattle0722]

I love the 1st gen. Have the 5th gen and will drive until one of us are not around anyone haha

[@GratefulEd907]

I just put a new softopper on my 86. I love it

[@audisportcarrasco]

My 1gen sits 32” to the door on 37”

[@99fxr68]

I selll everything on CL. All of the other places are shit 😂😂 2nd gen seats work. Also, There’s a company that makes a mount that works with almost any seat. Quick shout out to: Marlin Crawler Yotashop Yotamasters And LC engineering Great places for all your classic yota needs

[@jonathangenova2290]

Do you know the name of the company for that seat mount? Just bought a 1st gen and the seats are all in need of replacement

[@99fxr68]

@@jonathangenova2290 it was sold on Summit Corbeau Sliding Seat Brackets C22023R. I haven’t got them yet. Still looking for seats. 😅

[@robormiston2841]

I just scored an 87 SR5 and have a 93 SR5. They are fun.

[@David-12322]

I own 1, 86 4runner and 2 , 86 Xtra cab pick-ups and 1, 88 Xtra cab

[@remoose7]

does anyone know where i can get that stripe kit on the blue 4runner at 0:28

[@jamesm9560]

Anyone know where to get a replacement 11.5 shifter boot console?

[@isaiahjenkins9183]

Can you post the link for the 4runner parts

[@hakosan86]

Yeah I can. Preserverad.com is for the interior pieces, rockroadoutfitters.com is for the lift, and softopper.com is for the softop

[@svvwoo]

W video

[@BraddaMarlon]

Good video but kinda shitty throwing shade on killer toy tops. They do still sell them and are a small company veteran owned

[@hakosan86]

Not throwing shade, everything I said it the truth. The old owner went crazy every time someone criticized his products. Plus veteran owned is cool and all but a business that has gone throw 3 different owners in 20 years shows their products aren’t good. New owners have to prove themselves and change the design or else the business will fail just like it did for the last guy. Softopper is way better in every way. But I thank them for serving and wish them the best. If they wanted to start making tops they probably should have just started a new company because KTT already has a bad rep.

[@BraddaMarlon]

@hakosan86 you know the truck with the with looking topper you showed is a ktt top? On the aspet of going safari mode ktt beats soft top.

[@hakosan86]

Yeah I showed both options in the video. It’s just my opinion. I didn’t tell people not to buy it I just said that softopper is better.

[@TurboLoveTrain]

Modern car's blow compared to this beauty. Just 3d print a lighter top.
