Simply awesome build man, been following since it was just a frame.

But, epic props for making a mold for Trekker Topppers. This will make alot of people happy.

 

Im hooked.

 

thanks ..

thanks .. it's been a while , but I now can see the light at the end of the tunnel ..

and if other trekker toppers are in the same shape as mine was , then YES , it will make them very happy


cool , thanks

Crap! Now I have to find a short box (thats worth using) to make me a Trekker

I love the never ending excitement in this tread, always fresh, steady, amazing progress. I've been here since the start, and I'll still post how amazing your attention to detail is till this thing is cruising around looking gorgeous!

 

Looks like it might be a Trekker in OR.

thanks for your kind words .. and i'm glad your enjoying the build

finished up the mold today ..

poped the old roof out



trimmed the edges ,



a little bit more work to "prep" the new mold for maufacture , but basically , I'm now ready to make my new roof


.

 

Stinkin awesome. Every step brings you a little closer. I think what you need to to Slacker is just stop the customers rigs for a week and just finish up this work of art. Everytime I go back and look at the pictures from the start it amazes me what you have done so far.

 

thanks bud .. but a week will not do it .. even to the finish !!

the top mold alone took a little over a month , and I still have to build a roof .. yes it's true , shop is very busy with other peoples builds .. most of this is Trekker build is done in my " spare time and weekends " .. I'm hopin' for this spring ..


.

 

Spring is far away...... post up some pics with those seats installed they look cool. What's the red stuff in the mold? Gel coat??

 

naaa , sorry ... dont want to get them all mared up ..

orange/red stuff is a "special" gelcoat called "tooling gel" sepecifically designed to go threw the heat cycles of curing fiberglass ... mucho denero .



.

 

shop was full with customer vehicles for the last couple of weeks .. so I havent been able to do much on my own ... but the weekend is comming .. I have been doing some little things ..

I did manage to get my battery hold down finished .. Plastic dipped , and installed




.

 

started work on my headliner today ..
I had previously made a flat piece of fiberglass sheet .. and cut it down to size ..



I then proceeded to cut it down to size .. and get it fitted ..

You do amazing work Corey, I love it.

Well I started a build thread on here but i have chosen not to continue with it due to feeling like a retard after reading yours!! This is Fantastic work. I just read the whole thing from page 1 and am extremely impressed!!! I saw some people saying it before but i thought i would add on This trekker is going to be MUCH better than toyota built it to begin with. you are a very talented man!!!!

Keep up the good work. I cant wait for the next SLACKER build.

 

You a skier SLACKER? Noticed you live in BC, Canada! NIce build looking great over these past months. Greating the t. drive went great!

 

thanks for the kind words .. and dont stop posting your build !!! I was watching it , and actually replied a couple of times .. i'm always willing to help if I can . I also have been building toyotas since 1980 .. long time ..
I also own own toyotafiberglass.com , so this is kind of what I do .. I'm sure most people dont expect your build to be like mine . so just keep with it .



yes i'm a skier .. since I was 8 .. had my boy up on skis since he was 2 (hes now 15) ..... swaat I do in the winter

test drive was great .. truck pulls very hard , I cant wait to get it on an actual road where I can shift !!!
only 1 casualty on the test drive .. my sub box rolled over when I got on the brakes , and broke one of my crossovers .. to my dismay , my local sterio shop told me they were now discontinued , so i ended up finding one on my own ... got it , but still havent replaced it ..


so a little up date ..
no up date , shop is still packed , and just no time for the trekker
