i recently got a bikini for my 87 runner i do not have a hard top so my seats are in the weather at all times any ideas how to protect the rear seats is there a company that makes neoprene covers? also has anyone replaced there tailgate for a cargo net.or added a third row seat. any pics or ideas would be great.

 

there are a few companys that make neoprine covers, the best one is http://www.wetokole.com, but they are very expensive. something else that you could do if you are on a budget is to make some custom trash bag seat covers

as for replacing the tailgate with a cargo net, i accualy thought about that yesterday, but then i realized that if you did do that, then you would have to find a new place to attach the tag. but, it would probaly really help with gas milage, becaulse that tailgate is very heavy

i thought about a third row seat, and made a thread a little while ago, here it is

 

well as for tag i was thinking of attaching it to my bumper with a led light, i was also thinking about a truckbed cover to cover the rear seats

 

hey, there's this site http://www.covercraft.com/ that has all kinds of protective covers for all kinds of stuff on your truck. They also make (I think) a tailgate net called the "pro net", you can search online for pro net and check it out. I'm getting one of those, just wish I could find the bed end caps like the one's in this pic for my 85. http://www.carcoverusa.com/Pro-Net-T...FUcHRQodhEZfdw

 

This is a good idea LittleCommando. I like to put garbage bags on the seats then put cheap seat covers over them. That way all the crap doesn't soak into the seat and I don't have to stick to plastic on those hot summer days.

Also, if it's the weight of the tailgate that you are concerned with and you don't have a hardtop anyway, alot of guys run a pickup tailgate or gut all the window components. Won't do much for aerodynamics though.
