double bed bob?
i have been looking into bobbing my bed when i came across a truck that was double bobbed.
i think its cool but it would be a lot of work. anyways it would look something like this
before
after
the really hard part would be moving the mounts.

so much work for so little movement of the axle forward. why not just ditch the bed and go flatbed and shorten the frame?

I'm still considering doing this but I'm iffy on how it would look with an ext cab. Every standard cab I see looks good and ext cabs seem to look goofy. I may just flatbed it and move the rear rear forward to shorten base. Anyone have a link on moving the rear forward?

why not just flatbed it. More function, less headache, probably look better to.
Im a practical dude and to go through all that work seems like a waste. Whats the point? Now what good is the tiny bed? Cant really use it for much.
I have a 6' bed and with a toolbox taking up over a foot of that I'm hurtn for space. What your doin would probably land you with even less cargo space.

Im going to get a trailer because the only think I haul with my truck is my bike besides I have other trucks I can use that are easier to load than my Toyota. Also I don?t really like flatbeds because anything you put in them has to be tied down

If it were up to me, I'd sell the bed and build a flatbed.

Definitely looks like a lot of the hilux double cabs I see rippin' around these parts. I say give'r if you don't mind losing more box room in an already small box...
