Does anyone have cool pics of top chopped 60's? Full cages. Open tops. Rag tops. 1/2 doors, etc. I am looking for inspiration for TippyR.

you better be caging that top brotha... 53" tires on the flip side would hurt.

noticed, a small shot of your rig in the write up in TT keep us posted on the work.....should be a sweet build..

Here's one that I found inspiring; one of the first downloaded into my gallery. RustyNailJustin on 40s at Moab 2004:

Why, Peter, oh why? :confused: ;p ;)

Negatory Brother! The legendary strength of 60 series lids hold up fine to flops under 1,800lbs of 53" tires. The result, however, is just slightly beyond the capability of the buffing wheel to fix, so now I am looking at new top/door options.

Ouch...

Was that at Lee's this weekend?

Amazed the rear windows are still intact...and snorkle seems to have held up.

Whatever you do, make sure the Cdn roof rack gets built into your next design...it seems to have held the roof together nicely!

Yes, I am but one of several Tough Trail victims.

Would you believe that all the doors still open and close nicely. In fact, the front passenger door used to be sticky, but now it works better than ever! Can't roll up the window, though. And of course, those safari snorkels, being made from recovered materials from alien spacecract, are indestructable.

And you are exactly thinking like me. Any Canadian BJ60 I own will have a stock roof rack, regardless of whether I have a roof to go under it.

Once I quit laughing at the absurity of above statement,

I realized if you put some big tires on TippyR instead of those measly 53's you wouldn't need a cage as you'd still be on your tires if you flipped.
:grinpimp:
 
Peter,
I was talking about if you cut the roof off...also you where lucky and it seemed like ya dint flop it TOOO bad. I've seen roofs crush much worse than that, but it was on rocks...I know ya have the skills brotha, stay safe and put a cage in that truck...
 
nice 4 runner, i wonder if the wife would let me do that to her 3rd gen?? yeah right!!! cool just not functional unless you only use it for specific purpose, which i guess with 35" boggers and a 3.0 V6 it would be. :)

And it kinda looks like a Rodeo with the back choped off like one of those Amigo's.
