4runner w/Wildernest

Pics of rails.

I used 2"x3"x3/16" angle and a couple of pieces of 1"x2" square tubing to make the rails. Giving me a solid base to mount to and the added height that I needed for clearance inside.

are you going to keep you roll bar? I decidedin my 4runner flippac build that i'd ditch the stocker, and build a new one that is less obstructive.

The stock rollbar would just be in the way. Besides I have plans for an exo cage. Still haven't decided how hard I'll wheel it yet. But hey , better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

HOLY SMOKES :Wow1:

I found a Wildernest for $350 today and I've been wondering how possible this would be!!! How much heavier would you guess the Wildernest is compared to the original hardtop? The one I found is supposedly 6.5ft x 5ft so I figure that's pretty close depending on their measurements...

Did you manage to get the guy with the Comanche to sell his? Just curious.

I am picking up one next weekend. It's made for a Toyota long bed, so its going on the trailer for now.

Sorry for the hi jack...

Its pretty close to a hundred lbs. heavier than the stock top.

These two sites have been great resources for me:

http://wildernest.org/

and

http://wildernestcamper.com/

The first site has the pdf for a sales brochure and an owners manual. I think it states that the weight for the smaller shell is about 250 lbs and the larger shell for full size trucks is slightly more.

Ok, I've reached the point of no return. I'm going to trace the cab outline onto the 'nest and cut a pass-thru out. This will allow me to move the 'nest forward and close the gap, limiting the amount of fiberglass work I have to do. No worries, if I screw this up, It's only $750.00 down the drain!

Did you keep the slider from the wildernest? I am in the process of finding one now. If you still have the slider, shoot me a PM.
