trekker top question

this might be a dumb question, but does anyone know if the trekker hard top will fit on a first gen 4runner?
just curious. couldnt find anything on search.
i kind of like the big window better is all.

I doubt they are a direct swap. Probably close though. Do you have a Trekker top laying around, cause they are pretty rare....

I could be wrong, but I tot the Trekker and that other guy's top didn't come off?


er, wasnt made to come off... So making it mate with... awe, nevermind.

Probably not designed to come off, but they are fiberglass and must be attached with some sort of fastener...

As I recall, could be wrong, but the Trekker Hardtop is not removable. The top and bed are all one component joined to the cab, much like a camper that is attached to the back of a cab on a cab chassis style camper conversion. Could be wrong, but the Trekker conversion was built by Winnebago or one of the camper manufacturing companies in business at the time in partnership with Toyota.

Having owned a 4Runner with a removable top and seeing Trekkers up close there is a noticable size difference, even if you could remove the Trekker top, it would not fit.

i definitely dont have one. wish i did.
thought i saw one without a top somewhere, so i just assumed that they came off.
here is a link to one. dont know if it will work. just googled toyota trekker and scrolled through.

Over at 4x4wire.com is a guy who does allot with Trekkers. He even has a site dedicated to them and does restorations on them. My brain being a sieve, doesn't remember his handle.

BTW: Trekker is the Winnebago version. The ones from the other two companies were called different names. The Winnebago version was judged best and served as the impetus/prototype for the original 4runner.

I have an 81 trekker, got it from my uncle who bought it in 81. The top comes off after a lot of work, removing rivets, screws, bolts and lots and lots of glue. It really wasn't meant to come off. I don't believe that putting a trekker top on a 4runner would be a direct or even easy swap. Plus the trekker tops are kinda flimsy.

the dimension are not the same .
I'll let you see what can be a great built !
The green one with a 4runner kind of top! RC.
