Reassembly of River and some painting!

So I got River (My Truck) put back together with the exception of the distributor Oil Seal which I am getting tomorrow. After I get that Oil Seal I can fill her up with oil and antifreeze, put the spark plugs back in, and fire her up!

4Runner sunroof swap!

Ok, so I have been driving around with a shattered sunroof on my 4Runner (2nd gen 1991) for about a year now, it doesn't leak but it looks really bad. A few days ago I was carousing a local Pick-N-Pull (BIG thanks to Cory) and happened upon a sunroof the same color as mine, SCORE! $20 bucks later I had me a newish new-to-me un-cracked sunroof! The awesome part was that I got the ENTIRE sunroof assembly minus the motor and switch, which isn't a problem as both of them I had to buy new for my truck.
The entire job NEEDS 2 people but I would recommend 3 who know what they are doing, me being my usual dive-right-in-not-knowing-what-I'm-doing self started doing it alone but ended up enlisting the help of my mom who just so happened to be at home. Now, on to the pictures!
