Thanks Robb! Finished this matching tailgate cover the other day: Ive been pretty busy, I have two 85' 4runners that I'm making all the side panels, door panels and tailgate for.

Thanks wallytoo, I haven't had any problems in the past using postimage.org but for some reason I kept getting an error after selecting the pics and uploading them, it seems to be working fine now though. Here are some recent door panels I've finished: ^^^These were for an 83' Toyota...

I was going to post some more pics of some interior panels I was working on, but I'm having a hard time uploading pics, not sure if its my new tablet, or postimage.org that's the problem...anyway, I have pics on my FB page of some newer stuff I've been working on, older hilux door panels up to...

Thanks JBurt! Let me know...I actually have the 4R logo tailgate and matching rear access doors up for sale on a toyotaholics buy/sell/trade group. Send me a pm if your interested, I'll make you a package deal on them.

Here's some rear cargo area access doors I did: ^^^working on designing some rear cargo area side panels, might make them in multiple smaller sections instead of one large piece to make shipping easier and more affordable.

Here's some of my first tailgate panels I did. I designed these in 3 peices, the center cover bolts the main 2 halves together. It's made from 18 gauge sheet metal and is really sturdy. By making them in this way I'm able to keep the shipping cost down. ^^^In this pic you can kind of...

^^^I'm kind of surprised to still see pics up on here from my last post, I figured photosuckit would have held them for ransom by now, lol. Just thought I'd post a few pics of what I've been up to lately. I got a better beadrolling machine to replace my other manual handcrank model. ^^^Built...

Worked on a couple more practice panels, used 20 gauge this time, it was a lot easier to work with. ^^^this was my first attempt at doing lettering URL=http://s1058.photobucket.com/user/rustED71/media/20170613_173219_zpstg11wkwf.jpg.html][/URL] I might try a faint diamond checker back ground...

opened a can of worms today... A lot of rust in the structure behind the quarter panel that needs addressed before I can start repairing the quarter panel...

Congrats on the new 4 runner, looks like a really nice one to start with! Slacker is the member here who owns toyotafiberglass.com, but he is really busy, I believe he quit taking orders for the next year until he gets caught up. Look forward to seeing your progress!

I used 18 gauge sheetmetal, I probably could have used 20 gauge. These panels are just for practice, I would like to eventually use aluminum, but want to get some practice in with the bead roller first. Here'so a couple pics of 2 different styles of rear cargo doors I made and also a tailgate...

thanks, I'm going to be working on a door panel soon, already have it cut out. It's been good practice, I hope to get some aluminum sheeting eventually, just figured I'd practice on some cheaper steel sheet metal first before attempting to use some more expensive aluminum.

^^^getting some practice in, made a tailgate panel and a couple different styles of rear cargo panel doors. I"m learning as I go, been watching alot of YouTube videos too. I need to build a table to support the sheet metal as I use the bead roller, the weight of the piece hanging over the edge...

I haven't updated this thread in awhile. I haven't done much to the 4 runner, just been driving it. Tax return came in awhile back, I was going to use some money to fix the front end replace the hood, fender grille etc, but ended up buying some tools instead. I bought a like new 20 ton...
