yea i think ive pretty much decide on the truck, found an engine and i think my parents are gonna help me out, so its ok.

not worthless there was some helpful insight as to dont hang out with retards. gotta think about the haulin chicks part though

but its an extra cab and itsmy truck so im not really worried about how much room the passengers have. so thatnks for the help guys

also: yea i ride, right now its a POS arctic cat that ive thorughly beat down, but soon hopefully a 99KX 250

hey, you can get 7 people in the 3rd gen xcabs.

just an FYI

that would be the stock spare because my roller tire was flat when i took off the good tires to paint em. i should put back on my good tires probly. its fun doing burnouts up the side street though

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #36 on:** Jun 18, 2008, 03:52:55 PM »

I have had 4 in my reg cab 85 with bucket seats before... so 7 is not out of the question for your 3rd gen ext cab

NorCalToy · « **Reply #41 on:** Jun 21, 2008, 10:36:20 PM »

NorCalToy · « **Reply #43 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 11:00:51 AM »

any ideas lucky?

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #44 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 11:02:22 AM »

cut the top off like a first gen runner

NorCalToy · « **Reply #45 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 12:54:50 PM »

you would. id like to if i could figure out a way to make a removable top from (hold on let me bust out my mad paint skills to put something up...)

NorCalToy · « **Reply #46 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 01:03:20 PM »

alright, be jealous of my mad paint skills on this one (pic taken from: http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=37515.msg591053#new ) kinda what id like mine too look like though, but anyways i think it would be cool to make it a removable hardtop somehow

854RUN · « **Reply #47 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 09:36:18 PM »

I think on PBB i saw a build where a guy did just that. chopped it caped the edges of both pieces and bolted it some how. And buy the way my father-in-law has a 1991 4door runner (he bought it new in 91) and just blow his first "original" factory head gasket after 230,000miles.

lucky7 · « **Reply #48 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 09:40:26 PM »

After a little more abuse i'm thinking of chopping the rear window section off and getting a soft top made

NorCalToy · « **Reply #49 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 09:42:21 PM »

exactly my thoughts, but it wouldnt be all that secure...

lucky7 · « **Reply #50 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 09:44:06 PM »

thinking heavy snaps

NorCalToy · « **Reply #51 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 09:45:14 PM »

I don't think it'd be that hard. Cap the bottom section with a piece of sheetmetal, after drilling some holes and welding nuts to the underside of it. Finish the top section so it has a lip on it, like this L and drill holes corresponding with the body capped section, and just bolt it down, with some weather stripping in between. Do the same for the top, create two lips, and just drill some holes and bolt the two sections together

hmmm. ill do some resaerch and shiat. thanks

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #54 on:** Jun 22, 2008, 10:18:07 PM »

A buddy and I were talking about doing that to his runner a few years ago. Thats what we came up with, but never got around to it.
