Look what you've gotton your self into! Now everyone wants some panels
Got a price yet? I would love to have the rear tailgate covered in this and the cargo panels as well as the front door panels too! I am really hard on my vehicles and need the protection of metal not plastic!

alrighty, glad to get such a great response, ive got some tenative prices rightnow its looking like $50 dollars for door panel set, these are the halve door panels ( don't cover the full door) a full panel is alot of aluminium and i think the half panels look cooler anyways, they have a hole for the window crank a rectangular cut out for the door handle and two opptional holes for stock armrests. i had best results using sheet metal screws to secure my panels rather than the stock plastic fasteners, this also help keep cost down as holes do not need to be cut out for the plastic pieces. 4runner rear tale gate cover $25, 4runner rear panels are $60 per set, all panels are cut from .065 thick alunminium unless other material is requested (aluminium is most economical) ill get pics as soon as i get the first sets cut
also, the more sets i cut the cheaper they are!

Out of curiousity, would the tailgate panel be predrilled for all of the fasteners? I missed my opportunity to make a pattern from the factory panel I removed. Thanks.

i'd like a storage door in aluminum. all i'll need is a cut sheet, i can bend it...
(it's a third gen)
maybe a grill, how expierianced are you with this machine? it's computer controlled, right?
say, $30 for the door, and $100 for the grill?
do you have any buds with a 3rd gen for fit & finish? fabrication takes alot of time...i wish i could come use the machine...

id really like to see the cargo panels, are you putting the door in them or just making it a solid sheet? im thinking a lockable door would be ideal, and id have no problem paying for it.

the rear cargo panels are solid, no acsess panels, but if that is something you want i can cut a special pair.
i havent designed any panels for second gen. 4runners or third gen. trucks but ill start working on it.
pics coming soon guys, i promise, pm me and tell me what you think you want and iwill get a tenative list together
