So I have a 90 Toyota pick up that I'm gonna be bagging, bd, and basicly the whole run down. But there are a few thing I was thinking would be really cool and unique. First thing I'm wanting to do is take out the A/C (I never use it anyways and it won't be my daily) and use that area to either put my tank or my compressors in. I will then be mounting the valves under the cab of the truck to hide them. Second idea is I want to find a wrecked newer toyota, and cut the rear of the cab off, then weld it into my toyota, but the whole purpose of this is for the power rear window that some of the newer ones have. I would like to be able to have it all open. But the junk yard here doesn't have much new stuff and idk if they would let me cut into one like that, so I might have to think REALLY far outside the box with this. But here is an example. I have other cool ideas but I'm tired and can't quite remember them all, but these are the main ones I want to know if this seams like a good idea or am I just blowing steam?
That seems like a better option. Could you get a pick of that? As far as I know, the 4runner is really curvey but maybe not. I'd like to see it done though. I'll have to take a look around.
Just found out from looking at another forum that this is the 4runner back window in this truck. Here's another pic!
Yup, That's Tyson's Cleland's Taco from Xtreme Lowz Las Vegas. There was never a Toyota mini-truck that came with a factory roll down rear window. Tyson used a Tacoma body style 4Runner rear tailgate/hatch. If you do this mod to a standard cab mini it will push the seat forward about 4-6". There's another taco in Xtreme Lowz San Diego that has a custom roll down back window that uses the OEM glass and seal. The shop that did the mod isn't around anymore, but maybe its an idea. It says its a 4Runner window, but its the Taco window. XTREME LOWZ - Official Club Website
Ouch. Already it is a pretty tight fit. I'm 6'2" and between the traditional bd and the rear window, I'm gonna be cramped as **** lol. OH! just came to me another idea. I'm wanting to get two small bucket seats that have no head rest just real simple. know where I can acquire them? I see them in trucks all the time, just don't know where to search.
And what about mounting stuff under dash. Does this sound like a good idea? Most likely just my compressors. I want my tanks to be in the front of the bed.
Yeah, 6'2" with a traditional and buckets is going to be a little tight. The seats are usually junk yard bucket seats from a sporty vehicle, that have been customized during the upholstery process. It usually requires custom seat mounts being made also. The sound that a compressor makes is obnoxious at best, and I can't imagine having to listen to one while I drive. I would never consider mounting one inside of the cab. Mine are as far from the cab as possible. Maybe re-think that design. Rollpan is a good place for them. I can barely hear mine. 2 Viair 480's.
Well the only time it will be airing up and down is at a show, and when I'm ready to drive so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. But I guess you're right better to put them further away instead. I was thinking about putting valves under there but I don't want to have to buy a sh!t ton of air line. I want to use my free space wisely since it is a standard cab. Valves under neath the cab is my thoughts. I could also put the extra battery('s) under the dash too. Didn't think about that before.
