Canvas Top for the back. Had a Boat shop make it. $300 including the center support bar
I live in Ontario Canada and can drive my truck all winter long with only the back heater on.

... so I'm looking forward to the chop! Ask Troy (TC) he'll verify this when he was about to throw my lappi across the room!I was trying to fix my heater blower moter wed nihgt had to take the whole dash off. Since I am second gen I am all levers (no electrical) Couldn't get to the fuse to see if that is the problem Nic (Blownn4Runner) and I think it is electrical becasue the switches move fine but my ac won;t turn on.. Sigh. gottta go put *that* back together. No way am I chpping without heat (and it isn't my heater core because my rear heater works)....
MANTRA : YOU WILL BREAK AND YOU WILL GO BROKE: LOL

Let me know when you cut, I need a tail gate.
Interesting plan, but I always wonder when people start doing this, the Runner part of things gets traded and now it is an open cab pickup.

Yeah as you guys know I was "terminated" from My Job for standing up to my superviso's emotional and verbal abuse. She's been through 9 employees in a Year!!!!
I kept working with HR to find a different department to move to but when my supervisor found out she just fired me. Thankfully I got a few weeks of severance and they prolly won't contest unemployment, but the real kicker here is that they sent a letter to the big rival company saying I indended to seek empployment there and divugle proprietary information. I Never said THAT! So this *really* screws up my job searh. GIS/Remote sensing is a really nich industry. So sadly everything is on hold. I want to chop the back more than anything but I don't even know if I have enough money for my bills (Lame) Oh and one more thing. I might keep my tailgate as is, but then take the glass and motor aout and someone could have that... I did by a passenger side door before I knew I was going to be fired. I might try and take it back to the junkyard and say it didn't fit....
*sigh*

I was just posting since it reminded me of a odd looking version 4Hummers truck. This was the first thing on the list when I searched 4Hummer, and it was about a chop too.
I love the way his looks

I have a long LED that will work...we will talk more this weekend and if you dont im going to do it on my canback. I will draw something up.

I wish I could do what mossyrocks did. He did a BEUTIFUL job. But alas... after this....
(Me rolling tippy in Jan of 2006) The top is just not worth saving!
So the top is gonna come off like what Mossyrocks did (and 4hummer too) with support (exo)... then I'll do a canvas back snap top while I fix the body damge and paint her, and lastly I'll add the full exo. Tippy isn't nearly as pretty as Mossyrocks or 4hummers rig, but she is a rockstar at wheeling. So while I'd like her to look decent, my bigger emphasis is removing the top heavy weight and adding protection for more tippy adventures! (That 2nd gen top heavy weight is a PITA in terms of driving at highway speed. While tippy is UBER flexy like this:
She also has quite the body roll at highway speeds enroute to moab. Thus the reason I want to get rid of any top heavy weight (that 2nd gens are so known for!)
So I want to chop her like what Mossyrocks and 4runner did so that she can wheel like this without endangering glass for once!!!

just incase you missed mine, couple posts down in this section. Chopped and bobbed.
It's alot of work to make it looks nice. . .
No plans for a permanent top or window. It's not my DD and it stays in the garage when it rains. When on wheeling trip's I'll just take a tarp with me incase of showers. Maybe if its a huge PITA with the rain I'll try to patch a pickup rear sliding glass in, but not in the plans as of now.

And before anyone asks no you cannot keep the power rear glass without a ton of modification to the tailgate trying to put it behind the seats. Would be kinda neat but it would take up most of the bed. I like my simple sheetmetal behind the seats. I kept the stock tail-gate where it is, it looks good with the truck style bed.

I love brad's (mossyrocks) he is thinking about doing a canvas top on his 4runner like you are talking about doing. His is very nice to ride around in, even if you are just going across town to pick up parts in it. Its good to know the man behind the wheel, we went to same elementary/high school he is just a few years ahead of me. Brad has done all the work on my rig (sliders and bumper).
