About This Video
The bank accounts are drained and the engine swap is done. Van flies to Bozeman, Montana, met by Scott Myers: his oldest friend, met at five. Seventeen months and a teacher's annual salary to pull off this project. Why not buy a new 4Runner? Something to do with protecting his inner child.
Van set up a camera on the dash to capture the exact moment his inner child appeared: the first drive in the new truck, four-wheel drive in the Montana snow. The Sony camera failed. Recorded nothing. It's the second time the camera has betrayed him. But the 35-year-old truck with her new heart transplant has a perfect record: R2.8 turbo diesel, Toyota H55F 5-speed, dual diaphragm brake booster, front and rear differential, electric fans, custom exhaust. Ready for remote and far-away trips. Ready for his woman, his inner child, his outer child, and his child child.
