CHOPPING THE 60, WHAT REAR GLASS TO USE

Post by **teambullet** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 4:38 pm

Hey all, after some suggestions on what you think or have seen, the 60 going to be a dual cab, using a sheet of 2mm for rear wall and options are, 75 lux or a rodeo rear screen, needs to b flat as possible.....
Thanks in advance
Denny

seen lux in a lot of the ute chops, I thought most of them rear screen were pretty much flat, spose it depends on how big you want it, but lux are dime a dozen

I used a front glass from a flexi glass challenge fibreglass canopy. It opens up red neck style

The glass drops into the t/gate on a 4runner, which is not as wide as a 60...

frank 60, thats another thing i was thinking about doing, that way it gives you an extra way out so if your doors at stuck its easyer to climb out the back than the window. i had a Sahara model, so i used to climb out the sun roof.

havent used it as an escape hatch yet!
but nice when wheelin' with the hatch open.

Looks neat and has plenty of flex for a under sprung set up

Post by **teambullet** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 8:37 am

Had to take 3 leaves out of the rear for it to flex like that. Only prob now is need to offset rim a bit to miss body.

Looks good Denny!!
How many leaves are ya runnin in front an rear? and wat brand
