Ok idea of a 4dr rangie ute has started hounding my brain
Looking to start getting inot comps aroung July and the excess baggage rear end of the rangie isnt needed
I like to take my friends and family wheelin so the ability to have the rear seats in place (although seatin more upright) apeeals to me lots
Here is a photo of the basic ute idea for the rear end and an original for sum of u photochop kings to have a crack at
I want a full on exo aswell but more to that later
Want to move the rear diff back approx 6-8inches (104-106" total wheel base)
So people wat you reackon like? no like?
IDEAS ? ? ?

any chance you can take a side on shot against a plain background, pretty hard to do a decent job photochopping with it on an angle and with all the other stuff in the background.
Sounds like it could be a good idea tho

I would cut the car out and put in your own background. But yes side on shot would be better

wow looking at the second pic I thought you'd already done it
But you'd need to keep a bit more behind the rear doors for structural integrity I would think. I know its just a rough chop and all.... just saying.
I think I've seen a silver 4 door rangie ute somewhere before

dammit to dark to take a shot now
I will get one int the mourning with just the sky in the background (if i can do it)
And if people could make an exo aswell and move the rear diff back and fitt a set of 37" Maxxis crawlers it would be mega appreciated.
Also might need some hydrolic lifters for the rear through the tray (BeeBeestyle)

Make sure you get someone better at maths to do the measuring before you cut - 100" + 6-8" = 106-108" (not 104-106")

with the lift as it is i have lost almost 2" of wheelbase (prob more like 1.5") but i dont feel the urge to get out a laser measure and work it all out perfect
edit: sorry should mention that this is cause the lift is too high and I have been to lazy to redo my rear trailing arms, mainly cause I dont want adjustables and i want to do it once not twice.... no actually just cause i am lazy
i am looking to lower the lift by an inch or two aswell.

I reckon just cut the roof off behind the rear doors and make it into a ute; trim up the lower rear quarters, build roll cage.

That looks sweet, but take away the bar! You dont really need the tray do you? just put all your stuff in the back. Maybe extend the back just a bit from the back seat cos it doesnt look like there will be enough room, so the back of the car lines up with the back wheel. There is a guy on here who bobbed a 60s similar to this and it looked tops.
