Tofer

does anyone know if 3rd gens are the same width as 2nd. im almost thinking of putting the window part from a rear hatch out of a 3rd gen kinda like mossyrocks did. i was also thinking about maybe cutting the back section off of the same gen pickup. what do you guys think.

back of a pickup is what i'll be doing at some point. i'd like the sliding window.

4rnnr33

ya i think the pickup would work good but may be hard to find. i found a 3rd gen rear door on craigslist and had the guy measure it and it pretty much the same width as my second gen so right now im leaning towards that but tomorrow ill call around the junkyards and se if they will let me cut off the back section of the cab

decided to go with the pickup route so i picked this up today

dude this is gonna be awesome!!!! i'm super stoked to see the slider back window.

4rnnr33

thanks man, im actually not sure if i will end up putting a slider in there or not i was kind of thinking about getting a lexan one made but im not sure it will probably be whichever one is cheaper. and tomoorrow i will hopefully have plenty of updates because i will be working on it all day.

well today the back piece all cut so its fits in there now. its near 100 degrees so i figured that was good enough for today plus i need to pick up some sheet metal anyways.
cutting the back piece to fit

all fit in there

so now i just need to fill in all the gaps and weld it up

Tofer

that looks SICK!!!!!!

thanks man, this week i will mostly just gathering some supplies. i need to get a piece of sheet and some seam filler. im also thinking about taking it to the sheet metal fab shop and having them make some panels to cover the inside sides of the bed and some sort of caps for the top of the sides

Booosted Supra

wow that looks amazing, ive always wanted to do this to mine... i wanted to move the window sill forward like you originally were doing, cap the bed up and sheet metal it out and re use the rear glass and make it removable some how... the day i smash one of my rear windows out it will happen... good luck... subscribed=)

HELIFUN

WOW!!

Sir, that is truly AWESOME

Keep us posted on the project

94Runner4x4

looks awesome! I can't wait til I get this mod and the 3.4 swap done to mine! This makes me wanna go out and get it all started tonight!

4rnnr33

ya i know what you mean about making you want to go out and do it. but before you do think everything out carefully that was my mistake, i cut the sides down a little bit to far but oh well i think it will all look pretty good when i get done.

4rnnr33

well since there hasnt been a whole lot of progress for while i found this picture of my 4runner a couple days after i bought it so i figured i might as well put it on here

94Runner4x4

still looks good when you bought it! I just can't wait to see the finished product. I think I'm gonna start planning this at the beginning of 2009 and get started on it in the summer months.

4rnnr33

ya i know i cant wait to get it done i just havent had the time to work on it since last week but sunday ill be working on it all day if i dont run into any problems and im hoping that i will get the back all welded in but i gues we'll see
