Ohhh SNAP! Look at that awesome looking frontend on these old skool year Toyota trucks! You know wassup! Hahaha. I would paint the horizontal fins and headlight surroundings 'satin black' though........I think it would look better.
What type of gasket did you use to seal roof? I have a tilt top and need to find a replacement gasket. After watching your video, I am now wondering if I can find some of the pop up mechanisms.
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing! We've got to do ours next. How did you figure out the "rise" or angle for the new cross braces on the roof underside? Also - wicked paint job!!
Thank you so much! Honestly I think what we did first was put a lot of weight on the roof when it was upside down since ours was caved in. From there we put in the wood braces and added fiberglass so they hardened in place. It’s not the perfect shape but water doesn’t collect on the top anymore so it will do for now
Yo I love your videos! And thanks man! I am the guy in the video lol! But yea just used cinder blocks and had to cut the corner that was sagging and poorly repaired in the past and doing I was able to make the roof convex instead of concave. I think it was a 1 foot by 1 foot hole plus cut out the whole corner and used fiberglass to patch everything back together. It wasn’t easy but it turned out really well and is watertight now. Used boat paint on the underside.
The roof is SOOOO heavy and reattaching the springs is a bugger! Great job!
Yeah it is! Thank you
Good randomly running into you at HD. This rig is super rad.
Yea man! Very cool to meet you! Your rig is too cool!

We used a cardboard template to match the shape and kept trimming it till it fit
Oliveeeee
Such good progress, well done! any updates on the project?
Subscribed! Amazing work in that roof. I’ll need to redo mine soon and plan to also set it up for solar in the near future.
Thanks! It wasn’t easy but definitely worth it. Solar is a great idea
little by little but youll get there eventually
