unccpathfinder Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 theres been some custom fab jobs...along with some exocages...It's possible if you have the right tools/friends to get the work done...just take the time to lay it out and get it planned then do it...just be conscious of weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not all that necessary for the Pathfinder. The only reason the 4Runners have them is because the entire removable back is made out of plastic or fiberglas and has no major impact resistance.

Enjoi408 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Some guy on the yotatech forums intergrated it into the newer 4runners. I think its mostly looks tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) If you planning on wheeling your truck, do it up with the cage! There are tons of sites for info. out there. I don't know of anybody specific with Pathy cages, but chime in anybody if you're reading. Agreed on the early 4-Runners, they were basically Toyota trucks with an open bed, seats, and a basic top grafted onto the rear. It was a needed feature rather than a mod. But by all means, go for it! Please post up! Edited November 22, 2007 by Mr. Pickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj big shoe Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I was toying with the idea of chopping the top off and adding a cage before I painted it. I had seen truck toppers that had a window layout like the 2-doors with the little triange window and was thinking about using one of those once the top was chopped and a roll cage was in there. The thought is still in my mind, but it'll be a good long while if I decided to go through with it. One thing about a cage in a street vehicle is it actually has the potential to cause more injury to your head if you're involved in a minor accident since you're not going to be driving around town in a five point harness while wearing a helmet and you now have steel tubing in a rather close proximity to your skull. If you do decide to put a cage in, pay close attention to your roof hoop and a-pillar distances and tuck them as close to the outer sheet metal as you can.

unccpathfinder Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 you could always go get some of those pool noodles from wally world and slice them down the side to put around the bars to "cushion" the blow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92pathy Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 i completely agree with ya jj, but the cage from the first gen runners is only the hoop in the rear. i know it may not do a whole lot of goog but for extra spots for mounting things like mag lights/fire extinguisher i think it would be pretty cool, oh yeah junk yard on monday....
