Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have been doin heaps of research on here as i am going to make a bobtail trayback ute out of a 2 door rangie. does anyone have any build up pics or links to buildups that may help me out? i have done a search on here but so far not much. cheers

I have heaps of pics of my 2dr ute but it is full body not a tray back, the pics of the rear window and pillar area may be of use to you.

very neat looking job! did you take the rear window and simply move it forward? thats wat im thinkin of doin and then fabricating something up for the lower half. i was thinking i might be able to have the rear window so it still opens upwards. did you have many probs passing yours over the pits? wat do the engineers look for?

oh and i am interested in seing more pics. do u have a link to a photo site or could you post a few more? i am most definately interested in the rear window though.

Rear frame has been cut and shut then tilted almost upright so it looks natural, then i fabbed the b pillars out of sheet to follow the same lines as the door pillar. Top t/gate frame has been shortened and tinted perspex used for window. Back of cab is 1.6mm sheet folded with a lip top and bottom so its screwed into the floor sections with the original screws. A box section of 70 x 100mm was made to brace the sides and act as the rear window jam- rear wind is still hinged. I havent quite finished it yet as just after i started my daughter was born and then i bought a later rangie and so on - you all know how it goes. Only needs either some painting of the new metal or a full respray to finish and then off to the engineer, and gas place for compliancing.

hang over you have pm regards ute for sale

Here is Rohan's, it started life as a 4 door

Here's a mate's bobtail:



He did think about going tray back but didn't in the end. He wasn't sure about weight distrbution if he took all the back body off. I'd say it's pretty much spot on now.
