marc....i just fit one in mine this last week...i cut 2.25" off all 4 corners and welded a 1/8" piece of plate to the bottom of the legs for mounting tabs. No pics yet since I didn't have time to bolt it down yet. I'll get pics when it's done. it clears the plastic panels on the top of the cab by about 1/8"

Jason--I was going to PM you about that. I will do mine in a few weeks.

Or you could just have the right one built, that would solve all your problems.
Hee! Hee!

I just picked myself up a 1st Gen gen roll-bar!! Soon there will be another 3rd gen with this "back from the past" mod!!

Marc P · 02-22-2007, 09:06 PM

I am loading myself up with more things to do now.....I just bought an All-Pro front bumper.

Now I have the roll bar, e-locker, axle shims, and front bumper to install!!

All will be easy except the e-locker. The mods to the housing are a little daunting to me...the idea of drilling and tapping has me nervous....where is Robinhood when I need him.

4RunnerKid · 02-22-2007, 09:23 PM

drilling and tapping isn't too bad marc. just be sure to take your time. sounds like you have some good work ahead of you. can't wait to see the progress. i need to jump on mine ASAP...

slosurfer · 05-31-2007, 11:08 PM

Marc, have you done yours yet? Look what I just picked up today for $30!

Still has the zippered leather pad on it!

91muddog · 05-31-2007, 11:30 PM

i dont really see the point unless you chop the top.
i mean, unless it really helps alot in a rollover...

slosurfer · 05-31-2007, 11:47 PM

Well it can't hurt considering it is bolted in just like on the 1st gens. Mainly it makes an excellent place to mount a fire extinguisher, hi lift, co2 bottle, full size spare, etc.... I will use it for my co2 bottle mount and a fire extinguisher and possibly my hi lift. Sure you could have something fabbed for you but that is $$$ plus this is actually part of toyota history. Like haveing something cool from your older brother.

**rocket** · 06-01-2007, 02:15 AM

I just bought one yesterday from a guy on Craigslist for $21.00!

He wanted $25 but i forgot to bring "change" so he said $20 would be cool...i kinda felt bad so i dug into my pockets and found an extra $1...and gave it to him. lol
I'm not sure whether to put it in my 3rd gen or keep it until i find/buy another 2nd gen.
I hope you show us how it really done Marc cause it would be nice to have for future reference.

Marc P · 06-01-2007, 05:36 AM

It is still in my garage...it will go in soon.

Keggo · 06-01-2007, 09:26 PM

I don't have mine anymore... well... that OR the truck... alas... I'm out of the Yota club for now....

4x4Lamm · 06-02-2007, 01:46 PM

I Just had mine cut down and re-welded, backing plates fabed too, only $110.00. Now I just need a day off, some bolts and a big drill bit!

I would recommend just picking up the step drill bit set from Harbor Freight... I have them and they work excellent.
