Not sure what to call this mod, but would like some info if anyone has done this to theirs. If so got some pointers?

That truck looks like it should be on blocks in front of a trailer home. Oh, don't forget the chevy 350 swinging from a tree in the background.

 

It's not really brain surgery, just get the sawzall out and start hacking. This one is better: http://offroadsolutions.com/projects/954runner.htm

 

Its called "bobbing"

 

Bob Williams, Mike Caskey and at least two other dudes have posted lots of pics of theirs.

The ORS one, Mike's, is pretty clean for a bob. Bob William's is essentially a sealed 95 double cab.

Pretty much kills the DD ability unless you live in Southern California, I guess it never rains there???

both of these guys welded in the back part of an x-cab so it remains sealed with the rear window and can easily be DD's

 

Never said It was rocket science, Just wondering how to seal the rear. I figured it had a name of some time. I heard of a company that will make Canvas covers for Vehicles. I have to go ask a buddy of mine where it was out of. Kinda the plan I had started to lay out for future Mods. But this may come in to play also.

 

Actually, that's not bobbing. Bobing is simply cutting off the body behind the tires. In fact, it doesn't look like they bobbed that truck, just cut off the top.

 

Why didnt they just buy a pickup?

 

Probably because Jeep Comanches are hard to find and pretty worthless.

 

I dunno, cut my top off over 2 years ago (granted it was a hard top convertable kit that I never ever put the top back on )

 

in north america there were no crew cab pickups before the tacomas.

 

Wha? Toyota was not the first with a small 4-door truck, closer to the last actually. Nissan, Ford & Dodge all had them before Toyota.

 

well, im talking strictly toyota here, sorry i didnt specify.

 

So, when that Jeep Cherokee gets stuck, does the owner get to say,

"Black hawk down, we've got a black hawk down."

?
