OK, if you really need to 'bob' it then please do it like in the link below and NOT like in your Photoshop photos, it looks like a feckin' Barbie car!!

If they built it with a solid front axle and bobbed the back and still mke it look as good as it does then it would be perfect!

It would probably look a lot like this

Most people have polarised views on bobtails.

I think it looks worse than a FSO Polonez.


However as I will never bobtail I would be interested in any pics you post of the conversion.

i actually like the look of the FSO polonez classic cheesy 70s car! ha but i dont think it has the toyota build quality though looking at the pic



see its got the makeshift turbo intercooler on the bonnet and everything! haha

i was looking for this pic thanks, that is the other option and probably easiest as just take a slice out the back and weld up!

It would probably look a lot like this

thats why they are at least £4K 10th hand on ebay!

Danny as an off road toy it's a cracking mod that will actually make a real world difference to your trucks ability. Go for it mate and take plenty pictures.

We can compare results in the Lakes next summer.

will take lots of pics which ever way i bob it! hows the front winch bumper coming on? seen the rear bumper looks smart! when i bob it i do want to make mountings for rear winch as should be able to connect directly to chassis rail. might make a screw in winch mount to fit to the permenant bumper that will be there.

At least it wont look as a bad as a bobbed disco!!

Yes, plenty of pics like Brian says Danny. I love watching good build threads.

Don't worry about it looking pretty. Us 'Street Queens' have that covered

[dannyboy77]

here is a possible bob design and probably the easiest! but i think welding up the windows gives its better proportion then if the back windows stayed

Do you have to do any extra testing with VOSA? As you're cutting structural members and welding them back together.

Not to the above pic, you're only cutting body work.

As long as the MOT is happy its safe, and if you get stopped by plod and told to get it looked at you can pretty do what you want.

The insurance guys might want it signed off by someone though when you tell them.

If its off road toy ability is better than looks
