Heres a few pics of some rear window bars I made this morning.

Cool

Nice towel racks

Looks cool! How about some tube caps from McMaster-Carr. Then top those off with a TEQ sticker.

I think Mark (cruisercrap dude) was selling some small ones at one point.

Any chance you might sell these as a version that would fit with the third row seatbelts in? In other words, use the same attachment shape on both ends? Whups, on second thought, does this mean the third row seats cannot fold up?

nice fab but what are they for?

Those are nice!

Mostly for security of the sliding side glass. But the do make a nice place to hang towels

I don't know if they would fold up or not. Took mine out months ago. Let me study that one.

If you could make a different version that have some sort of "Hand Entering The Truck" protection device, i bet they would sell like hotcakes. My rig has been broken into 2x and both through those windows!~

OK, gotta fab up a screen. I will make it bolt-on to these bars. Not only would this be good for security, but it would keep doggies from jumping out

That is nicely done, I assume it's stainless steel. I've been wanting to do something similar for my 60 that is more retro similar to the VW micro bus with thinner double bars....I think VW used aluminum on theirs. Can you get stainless in 1/2" stock and bend it up or do you need to go with aluminum in the that size? Thanks

Other market Cruisers with solid glass have bars like that. They are there to protect the glass from shifting cargo.

No, I made these from 1" steel tubing. Planning on powdercoating them. I like the larger tube so I can mount other crap to them.

Cargo bars are required by law in some markets.

Very cool. Agree with Mangler above I think with attachabel screens they would" sell like hotcakes" to not only deter break ins but to protect dogs in the back. This thread just discussed the same topic recently. As a dog owner who doesn't want his stolen or his dog dead, I for one would be interested. FWIW I don't have the 3rd row seats in either.

That sounds like a good use for these. I don't see how it would deter break ins. If you slide open the glass, a coathanger will open a door... maybe from someone crawling in thru the slider if you had mesh or something that couldn't be bent out of the way... but I don't want the Cruiser looking like a pokey bus either...

nice craftsmanship, it would look good pc'd black (no glare). Maybe mount a tray across there for soft cargo- double decker
