Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ihave aquired a 4THGen hilux tray (2003) to fit to my ln106 and want to know if anyone has bobed one , seen it done, has pics or anything that might help.

im a bit worried as the rear slopes a fair bit


cheers

a few of the minni truck boys have been creating "shorties" of late........ essentially bobtailing there utes

perhapse some of there sites may be of some help if u get none here

i have just marked out my tray ready to be cut.....will let ya know how it goes

BTW roberts, a 2003 tray would be a 4th Gen

fark the extra cab canopy idea off.
bob the tub, then if needed build one incorporating roll bars which you can cover over with a custom canvas canopy

heres a photochopped pic of my bob. will look like this real soon

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!

Trying to post pics - what the, i can email them to someone if you can post them...

i actually have a spare one, with some minor panel damage

Single Cab. Chopped about 400mm out of the tub.

Anyone know what doing with pics?? I cant seem to upload.

'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'.
