Outer Limits 4x4 Board

is it possible to bobtail a DC well body for tha lux as a lil project. is there any dramas with mountin it or with tha back openin. tha singlecabs just get e/cab wells and give a bitta betta departure angle, and someone musta thoughta doin it.
Cheers Macca.
ps mullinz who said I couldnt use a puta eh?

It would be the same as bobbing a Single Cab body. You would just end up with a really short tray.

Is that true? Can you just swap an extra cab tray onto a single cab chassis? i wouldnt think so all the mounts would be the same and there would just be a gap behind the cab?

unless you move all the mounts by about 40cm or so!

You are correct. It would not line up.

I missed what he said in his first post.

You have to cut a clip out of your tray then weld the back portion holding the lights etc back on. Same principle for Single or Dual cabs.

i have seen A SC with an extra cab tray around my place......all that u actually see is two rectangles cut out where the dudes cut the chassis rail bak and it is just inline with the body...... i had a look and he had not...unless not so obvious chenged the mounts.

just my 2c

How could an X cab tray fit on SC? Aren't the XC tray heaps shorter in front of wheel well?
Just had an idea- build your own shortbed- 4runner chassis, single cab and X cab styleside- look pretty cool, eh?
I thought about bobbing my DC tray but thought it may look a bit funny... could someone do a photoshop?

A mate did this to his dc a couple of years ago, has since put a little steel tray and roll bar on. He cut the chassis of @ shackle mount.

Was gonna sell the well back @ one stage.

ill provide a pic of my lux if someone wants to have a go at photo choppin it.........id be keen just as to what it might look like

diesel i have done the pic bob of ur rig but don't have anywhere to post the bobing of it?

Tazz do you think you could get in contact with your mate to see if he still has it lying around. Im looking forward to seeing that photoshop picture. Da lux would be keen as to see what it would look like aswell.
Cheers

There one of a single cab bobbed on the ORI website, a maroon one.

Thats where i got tha idea from that red luxs dep. angle is a lot betta than standard and the idea of havin the well on the back still would be pretty nice. i like trays but the well is pretty handy ay

Did a photoshop of craigs lux, would look pretty good, I got inspired by same photo but my lux is exactly same colour which put me of doin it I suppose.

How much would they cut out os a SC? about 40cm? and what would the cost be? Would it be worth it? is it legal?

Anyone know?

doesnt look bad IMO... just could look better with a tray or something more userfriendly... its still good if u want to roll a swag or pack a tent in there i spose !!!

I cut about 13 inches or so out of my Single Cab.

I know the netball courts make me look like a maller, but my front shaft was out as it was getting lengthened and I just wanted to take some shots of it......

do ya have a lotta problems with tha rear gettin enough clearance with tha well coz mine gets caught up alot, plus the rear bar on top of that makes it worse

i think maybe once or twice i have had issues with the tub hitting sumthing due to lack of clearance. not enuff to worry me just yet, but if i find a cheap tub i will bob it so that i have a spare if needed for when i go to the dump and shit like that. or even try and make a trailer out of it

If someone will host a pic, I can show you mine bobbed.

wat actually dun to car or just pic mod
