How to shorten the top?
I was wondering how you shorten the top on a 1st gen? I still need to cover the back seat and be enclosed. Can you make it a removable enclosure soyou can still use all the storage room? Please help me out with this. I would like to do thid to my runner.
Thanks
Thanks

I agree a sawzall is the place to start. j/k sorry no good ideas, but I saw you are from Butler, PA, I was born and raised there 'till I was 15. Say 'hi' to my mom!

I recommend not using the sawzall on glass, it doesn't work so well. I know this from personal experience.
Seriously though, search "4Runner+ chop" and there will be several like minded people who also like desecrating 4Runners.

unless you bob it like the one above, there is no need to really chop it in my opinion. the top comes off anyway. or maybe i'm confused on what you're asking ha

What i want to do is leave the "bed" the same length and shorten the top to come behing the roll bar. Then I have an open bed behind with a tailgate. I have found a few things out there to help. Just wandering if anyone has done this before.

Welcome to Yotatech.
Go to Pirate4x4.com and search the Toyota 4Runner/PickUp forum.
Read but don't post this question over there or you will be sorry.
There are several bobbed and chopped threads over there with lots of pictures.

No pics at the moment, but I've taken one of my spare tops and cut it right along the rear side glass lines. Makes it perfect for mountainbike shuttles and the extensions also protect the Runner's rails from pedal and shuttle gnar.
