Thanks for all the input.
I'm going to close it by moving the back window forward and putting a sheet metal wall under it. I MIGHT try to get the window to move up and down, but I'm pretty sure I have enough work as it is, and the wheel wells seem like they'll get in the way.
By the way, does yours just not have seatbelts in the back? Not sure what I'm going to do about that. Find lap belts I guess.

Mine doesnt have seat belts yet. Im gonna tie it into the cage I build eventualy. I thought about welding a long piece of steel down the body inside near were the old bolt hole used to be for the belt to distribute the load down the body and weld a bung on for a new bolt to go if that makes sence!

Possibly or you could build your old top to be removable. It would be heavy though and alot of work. I think the 4runner tops off older ones are too skinny and would look funny!

MMMMMMmmm!!! now theres an idea... make a camper shell outta your old top...
but what i was thinking is just do it in early spring next year so i have all summer to finish it, and in the mean time, i can just have my girlfriend "fab" up a canvas bikini top for her... she dont have a working A/C anyways, so, what the hell, why not!!

Made some more progress this weekend.
Got the back window frame welded on, relocated all the wiring in the back and cut some patterns out for filling in the bed holes.
Does anyone know what the green wire that crosses the bed does, or the blue cable that goes back from the left rear speaker? I left the green one disconnected, and my left blinker doesn't change pace when I hit the brakes anymore haha...
