Its on my short list of projects.
Gen1 4Runner rear skins and tail gate.

Also is the dream plan of a full internal cage and glass/cf skin

 

I had my quater panels in my acura fiberglassed. it worked out well, i've only put about 2-4k on since it was done, currently not driving the car for the winter though.

 

thats slacker's stuff he's on yotatech.

 

I know a guy whos great with CF im talking to him about making parts for toyotas and hes up for it i just dont know what to have him start out with.

 

Im not sure CF is worth the $$ for Yota trucks...

Fenders are all out there - so adding CF just upst he cost - most PreRunners probably wont care.

What CAN be used (but is of a very limited market) are
-- Gen1 tail gate SHELL (and skin)
-- Doors???

The rest of the stuff is cool - but probably doesnt have a high enough market to be worthwhile.
-- complete Gen1 4Runner rear topper (lighter/stronger).

Then theres stuff thats neat but probably so individualized that you wont pull more than 2-3 off each mold
-- headliner?
-- dash??
-- center console

And finally there's my dream idea (wint he lottery and the)
Full cab in cf/glass

Due to engineering issues and $$$ (even if I win the lottery) its likely to be a glass shell around a welded tube cage. If I do it right - (use OEM body mounts, beef up OEM body mounts, attahce engien cage through body mounts etc) it should be strong, safe and a DD (hid the cage inside the body panels for the most part)

 

Replica interior pieces would be nice.

 

the guy is a genius....he makes good stuff.plus he's canadian eh

 

Thanks man ...
