Outer Limits 4x4 Board

orsum
I like the bobbed effort

Been chattin with a board member who has all the tools and time to give me a hand
Hoping to get started in two weeks (chopin that is) will pull out the rear interior this weekend me thinks along with the head linin

must admit rr will look great/tuff with its gay arse chopped of.

take ur finger out of ur gay bum and start chopping!!!

well i muck aroudn with grimbos design in paint to give an idea of what i want... its very dodgy but very similar to what i want (besides the colour as all bar wokr is gonna be black)

you may have a problem opening the doors with an exo like that. there is nearly no room to play with the down bar between the front and rear doors. Of course you could always go Dukes of Hazzard style when entering the car

Brimbo - the doors should just clear and the actaull rear tube arch I will design and clip the rear door even further to suit, i may be able to leave it and keed the bar work further back, due to the lengthened rear wheelbase.

I done sum more editing and added a tool box....

Major problems that need to be resolved are Fuel Tank and spare tyre

have the spare hanging off the back vertical if you dont mind losing some rear vision

the problem with the exo like that (think this is what grimbo is saying), is that when you open the back doors, the front of them will hit the member that runs down between the f+r doors.

i think if they sit so as they just clear the front door and arnt too close to the body then back door should be safe but if it aint the back door will just slowly mould a groove to accomodate the bar work

i am starting to get frustrated thinkin bout the fuel tank and spare tyre

stuff a custom tank up under the tray and build a small cage round it with plate to slide on (serious)

And get a space saver spare from a hatchback... put it under the front seat 4x35" tyres + 10" spare (not so serious)

this is how I handled my spare tyre rack on the back of the cage of my Zuk. It is a loop of tube off the back with a big skid plate that holds it in and helps it slide over things

Whatever you do, do NOT do this:

It looks like a sedan, and a Rangie should never ever ever be a sedan.

dont woryr vlad that one was NEVER on the card.... a stylside was NEVER on the cards.

Tray back or not o back

4 door bob would be tough as!

i've never seen a 4 door bobed..

let alone 4 door tray

D00d PM as I would love to see the progress your having and photos and shit would be nice aswell.

No roof ?

Don't do it in private - go topless in public.

We'd all like to see details and photos of that makeover ramp.

I can only go by what my panel beater told me, but last year when I chopped my sixty down to a sort of extra cab type thing, he said that the strongest and cheapest way to do it is keep the rear-most pillar, and re-use it.

As I can see from the pics that you cannot really do that if you are wanting to achieve your straight up and down back panel, and chop it where you want to. So you would have to consider how you will make it structuarlly rigid enough along the back.

This is only coming from me because I have recently done it, so I thought I'd share the advice..... but thats about the extent of my expertise!! Others I am sure will have solutions and ways around this.

Here is a quick pic I just took on my phone. Looks Grimace without being painted. That will come though Not really a good idea for the rangie but it illustrates what I'm saying

JUST BOB IT!

if i wasnt going to work i would finish it but i cant no time so f@k it.... its similar to others anyway

that looks pretty good dude I will be painting the car purple not pink and i still gonna do the ute thing... I like the bob but i want the tray

Anthony , the hardest part about bobbing a rangie is joining the alloy skins cause to weld them all the way around you would have to be a shithot alloy welder , other wise how would you do it neatly ?
You can take a look at my link which has got a few pics to give you a few ideas , but it is a lot of work.
Good luck whichever way you go !!
