    Haha nothing a little time with a wire wheel can't take care off. It's only rusted so bad on the top from me resting my sweaty ass arms all over it lol. I have some buddies on the way over to help me pull it off now actually

    I'm on my phone so can't draw shit. But, I think you could benefit by running a tube on both sides from the top by the 3rd brake light down to the c pillar X.

    Hell no! Profit would be nice though. I've only got about $300 in this but it took me damn 3 weeks to get here.

    That's probably close. Wouldn't be bad, just a huge time commitment and I don't really want to get into the business of building for others. I enjoy making things for myself but don't want to become a slave to it if that makes sense.

    Honestly yours would be a lot easier. Square body lines would be nice to work with. The tacoma body is all rolls and curves and was a pain in the ass. Probably didn't help that I just started bending tube without much of a plan

    Let's do it. I should probably have one after my close call of the weekend. You got enough tube left?
