Rear panel reinforcement
Has anyone come up with a good way to reinforce the rear panel in 1st gen 4runners where the doors cover the jack and tool kit?

Out of wood.
Else, you could simple tape sticks of flat plasic everywhere behind it, to make it more ridgid. Then some felt where it contacts the body. Install!
Make sure you use "high temp capable" double sided tape if you don't want a gooey mess.

I suppose its possible to simply layer some fiberglass onto your oem ones. maybe someone with the toyotafiberglass panels came chime in and say if they are sturdy enough for you. any particular reason?

I read on another forum that some guy did the fiberglass reinforcement, which I will probably do with mine too since they are in good condition. Just lay fiberglass on the back and it will be much more rigid.

MEH, Those stock doors are too tiny. I modified mine to use entire body cavity for storage.

The fiberglass reinforcement sounds promising. I will have to do some research on how to do something like that. Rad4runner, I had seen your thread on your panels and storage space. Nice work!
