I have a Mazda B2200, and I want to make it a walkthrough from the cab, to the box with the canopy covering it. Basically, I have no idea where to start. I dont wanna just start hacking apart my cab, for obvious reasons. Does anyone have any good links or other forums that may help? -------------

Your gonna have to be mighty short.. Heh.. You'll have to box the frame a bit and before you start cutting, add some steel to renforce the roofline and the floor,, then build sort of a roll cage around the front of the box... p/u frames flex a ton but there isn't a ton of structure to the bodies themselves... Try to get a good plan together first...

Well, do you mean a "blow-through" or something to let the sound into the cab?

Ya something to let the sound through. I trashed the idea of making it a full walk through..there's no point. But ya, something to let the bass come in nice and clear.

If your ruling out the walk through, Then just go with a full cap, remove the rear window, and seal the cap to the cab. I have seen quite a few vehicles done like this I think it is probably thr easiest way to go

I (used) to have a truck with a walkthrough... 1988 nissan. The camper cracked twice and then the cab cracked.... I partially rewelded the cab but without a roll cage....It still flexed. I parked it..... If I were to have one I would cut a square hole in the cab and use the accordian rubber boot..It is sold where they sell campers.. And I would get a flush bed cap.. Keep all the sound in as small an area you can for harder bass.....
