bob the tub, then if needed build one incorporating roll bars which you can cover over with a custom canvas canopy :D

Done it to a 3rd Gen lux i think (1994) - It rocks! Have tried like hell to hit the back and cannot. Big difference from the old hilux getting it's arse hung up trick they seem to do so well. I have heaps of pics at home and will post some or email them to you if you like.

I tell you the amount of looks you get on the road is only out numbered by the looks you get at places like Cruiser Park!

'Shortie' mini-trucks aren't bobbed,they're actually shortened chassis,a section is chopped out of the chassis rails then brought together & strengthened.My brother did this to a brand new rodeo just 2mths ago.But yes,at first glance it looks 'bobbed'.
