Beadlock legality always is a little fuzzy. Are they DOT approved. No. Will I every get pulled over for them. Very unlikely

 

that thing is sick!! with you moving the back window to rite behind the seat do your passengers bang their head on it every time you hit the throttle? or is the a lil room that you cant see in the pics?

 

I have had a few people ride back ther with no problems. and the headrest is still there and moves up and down. It really isn't much diffrent than a lot of trucks.

 

I tested the ears above the B-pillar that I put on to hopefully stop it if I flopped. They saved the majority of it. The front fender got some damage, but that isn't a big deal.

You can see the cage holding it the best in this pic.



Few others



And the damage. The B-Pillar damage was already there.

 

Welcome to the "flop" club!

 

Nice

 

Any Updates on this bad boy?

 

It is pretty much the same. My wife and I had our first child this summer, so all of my time and money has went to home improvements. Hopefully next summer I will get out more.

 

Congrats on baby. Awesome runner. Did you build the rear swingarm bumper? wanting to do one like that for my truck. Southern Colorado here.

 

Thanks.. I built everything on it including the bumper.

 

I love your Chop.... I'm in Kuwait and my 91 is getting chopped when I get home. but I'm closing mine off and doing a Flat Bed.

 

A flat bed would be sweet. Look forward to seeing the pics once you get it done.

 

sexy rig, kudos on the originality of it too!

 

I have to say I have never been a fan of chopping but you definitely made this look amazing! The way you made it all seamless is probably the best part...it looks like it actually belongs...and that is what makes the difference in these kind of projects! Good job man, congrats on your baby and keep on wheelin'!

 

awesome looking runner. love what you done so far

 

Nice wlork! How hard was it to route the cage like that?

 

The most difficult part was making an exact mirrored replica of the first bar. It involves a lot of think about it, eyeball it, measure, remeasure, think about it again, eyeball it, bend it.

 

So its all one peice

 

The bar that goes from inside the cab near the windshield, over the top, down the back, through the back bed area is one piece and took the longest of it all.

 

this is one of the best looking 4runners ive seen
