ok heres a thought!!

i was looking at my rig and was thinking about chopping and cuting my top up all i have for referce is this very badly photoshop picture as i dont know what im doing with it yet but heres the best i can do for now

i wanna cut the top of my truck up put the rear window and its parts right behind the rear seat and have a small pick-up truck style with having the rear seats still inclosed heres a before picture of her and then a after of what it might look like


before



AFTER




whats you guys think and no not of my very poor photoshop skills but of my idea of my ride


its goin gto be reinforced with metal and then rivetted plus it will be fiberglassed back together and then bolted to the truck yet again and im going to cut it just right so that the bolts line up or ill just drill new holes in the topper

Put a sheet of plastic in place of the rear windshield and put a message on it for tailgaiters then when they get too close raise it.

omg, in the first "photo-chop", it looks like your Runner's on fire

I'd use another top, just in case you don't like it, or it doesn't work out so well... hack it up, test fit it and see how it looks, maybe take some pics and get some opinions, and go from there

keep the stock roll bar in the top and it might not be that bad.
