im fitting a rear bench in my runner because my son is almost old enough for the trails. The problem is that the rear bench is out in the open. i need to extend my internal cage to protect the passengers now. i need some ideas on cage design. i still want my top to fit back on and i need a much room as possible for camping gear. simple yet strong and effective.

do runner benches come with lap belts or shoulder style????
my seat is a front bench from a second gen truck so i need to find some belts. i guess i could do some four points back there for saftey!!!

 

From the factory they came with a roll bar to protect the passengers in the rear seat. You might have better luck finding a factory roll bar.

Here's a good pic of the roll bar in relation to the rear seat: http://www.wabfab.org/home/brandon3.jpg

My '87 has lap belts, but there is a fitting on the roll bar to mount a shoulder belt. This is also visible in the above pic, they use it for a bracket for the bikini top. There are some posts about folks buying shoulder belt kits and mounting them.

 

If you want the factory style roll bar. I can cut it out of our parts 4Runner and ship it to you. $40 plus shipping, let me know.

 

i think the factory roll bar would work, do you have the seat with the mounting brackets and belts too??? maybe ill go on a road trip your way!!!

i kinda want something more custom that goes overhead and has some sweet handles. i have a grizzley tube bender and a welder. it's hard to visualize my goal, but i'll keep trying.

 

this is what i want to use for my kids. you can get it to go just behind the rear seat or all the way to the back of the runner.

thanks for the info guys, i have plenty of inspiration now.

 

I've got the rear seats and belts too. If you want it all, let me know. If not, that cage in the Pirate link looks great! Good luck.

 

how much do you want for the rear seats, belts and bar. where abouts is mariposa cali

 

I'd take $80 for it all. The 4Runner is actually at my shop in Oakhurst, which is about 40 minutes from Fresno.

Edit-I removed the roll bar, seats, and belts this afternoon. I have them set aside with the hardware if you are interested in them. The rest of the shell is off to the scrap yard...

 

how much would it cost to send to bellingham washington 98226!! i'll give your asking price if you got the seatbelts and all.

 

I sold the rear seats to another guy. If you just want the seatbelts, $25 shipped. It's going to cost a LOT to ship the roll bar, but if you want it, $125 more shipped.
