Going to bob the 80 series need opinions/ideas

[theside00]

She has gotten a few more dents in the back side so I think I am going to go ahead and chop it up. No one wanted to buy it so it has to come to this.

What do you guys think about this look. I suck at photo shop, it was the first time I have ever used it. Lets here your opinions or what you think would be sweet.

The door would open on this it would swing up so it would be useful with a little compartment in the back. I would try and figure out a way to make the window still open and work like it does now.

I'd turn it into an 85.

Nice to see someone getting aggressive with an 80.

I saw a bobbed one at Cruise Moab this year that looked really good. It had a little bed w/ tool box in the back. Don't remember his name but I'm sure someone on here knows of it. I've got a pic of him here on escalator.

I got a photo of the same guy doing widowmaker on metal masher.

Another Seattle area Cruiser owned by torslinning on the forum.https://forum.ih8mud.com/members/torslinning.html

BTW, Did he make Widowmaker without a cable?

I go wheeling with that guy know him pretty well.

It is pretty sweet but since we go wheeling together I was thinking of doing something else. Who has just done a normal bob might go that route.

I would like to keep some storage that would be inside the cab.

This is the second version is this one better?

That's what I eventually would like to do with my 80. Leave just enough room for one of these beasts behind the rear seat...and maybe a woofer.

Where is that kit from ?

 

[alkaline747trio]

Not a kit, 'Craftsman 26" Portable Tool Box'. But it sure does seem to be the bees knees for organizing and containing tools....if'n ya got a good spot for it.

I wish I had done mine like that ... full top bob looks cooler

 

[blzrfn]

I like the second version much better, the first looks too much like a hatchback car.

 

[theside00]

The plain bob would be a lot easier to pull of too

I am thinking about doing it like that one 100 series that has pictures on here. Take sections out of different spots so it matches up right.

I will start posting pics up when the cuts begin

 

[Tapage]

I will bob it but keeping the both tail doors functionability .. I love 'em .. !

 

[AutoCraft Aus]

This was a quick one I did of a 105, but with a stepped rear shelf back and down to rear of footwell step, would give lots of room inside behind the seats, while having the drop down tailgate at the back, and gear in the back as well.

I lengthened the doors, bobbed the rear, and made the rear arch flares bigger, to fill the space left on this one.

Or this one with longer sliding windows for access, behind seat storage, and rear access from the functioning one peice lift up tailgate.

I like your original 1983 Toyota Tercel look from the first post.

 

[theside00]

I want to keep all 4 doors so I can pack some cuties in there and go to the lake or something. That is an interesting idea though assasin. It kind of looks like a bronco 2

With the first one I was thinking like a baja racer type thing were it slopes back and they have the spare mounted back there.

That normal bob is what I would do to mine when I get the balls, money, time, space to do it.

Here's my junk. I'm sure most have seen it as it has been around the block once or twice.
