Mint "80" - Would You Have the Roof Cut Off to Install a Campteq?

[Deleted member 9101]

It's a Toyota, not a one off Italian super car, start cutting!

Engineering re-certification by a DIY modified vehicle that you personally own isn't really needed in the USA.

Well, that simplifies things. Even so, I suggest that you need to make sure you have structural integrity after the work.

Thanks for the kick in the ass I needed - All Good...

As it happens the mint 81 deal fell through (seller was a little bit of a slippery fella - to put is lighty)

I ended up finding an unadvertised - local 81 - marginal rust - never been offroad - low mileage - less than half the price - and not quite so precious. I made an offer a couple hours after test driving it.

Campteq will be installed...

I logging in just now about to ask nearly this similar question. I'm ready for choppy choppy. Where or where do i find a commercial pop top??

From a near perfect 60 series owner... I didn't even think twice

Thanks for all the replies. I originally posted this and a bunch of other inquiries about 2 months ago. I took all the advice given and ended up doing a 180 and ended up buying a 2013 Tacoma Access Cab and will be installing an Alu-Cab Canopy Camper to it next month.

Personally, I would not... it is too permanent and there are many good RTT options out there.

Campteq

The Campteq 80 Series Pop Top was first prototyped in 2012 as a removable, low profile roof tent with useable roof space.

Campteq is 80 series alchemy. Why starve a mint one of its full potential?

I'm hip to the @SoyBoy's sensibilities about not destroying all that is beautiful in this world. They ain't making more old Cruisers after all. But melding a thing of genius (done nicely maybe at least) to one isn't the same as gutting and chopping one for a hot rod or making a rock crawler, things that could have easily taken something less unique out of the herd.
