I recently shot some pictues of my 4 door Tracker with it's new lift.

Here is my rig. When I was preparing the picture for posting on my website I decided to play around with some different looks. Has any one done any of these yet? I like the "long bed" one. ;)

The long bed looks cool, but the panel van would be easier to achieve in the shop.

Digger is building something in between the long bed and the extra cab. If you would build the long bed there wouldn't be enough room if you're tall.
Nice pics btw ;D

Always kind of liked the look of the Mitsubishi Pajero EVO Dakar. Wonder what a lwb Kick would look like with that sort of back end?

I kind of dig the extra cab! :D

OK,
How's this for creativity?
Pull the body off the frame completely, STRETCH the frame and driveline an extra 2 feet or so, and turn it into a crew cab pickup 8)

You could go into the variable-hardtop business. Have 1 that makes it look like the 2 door with a bed, another like a real 4-door, 1 more like the pajero dakar vehicle, then a last one like the extended cab option.
That's some neat photochopping. I like the snow, leaves and trees added to fill the voids.

This is my favorite:

For some reason, it looks even more like a 50's style panel truck than you would expect. Are you going to put these projects into reality?

I don't know for sure. I am really liking my 4 door. But, I can't leave anything stock so I guess I am just thinking outloud my different ideas and getting feedback. BTW, I can't wait 'til my ShrockWorks bumper gets here. Also I am almost done designing the custom HD rear bumper.
Now my wife wants one instead of her van (Astro with a 4" lift and 30x9.50s) and I think I will do her's as a Rally type rig. Mild lift, aluminum mags, 29" AT tires, etc. Collecting ideas on that too.

You mean like this? ;D

BTW that picture was a pain in the |removethispart|@$$ to alter like this. :o
-
I meant a stretched frame so you would end up with a fairly usable pickup bed in the back of it. You know, something you could move furniture etc.. with

Aw come on, do an EVO Dakar style one for me please. My photoshop skills are "0".

If you're going to do a full length pickup then what about a Nissan Dakar pickup just for fun. ;D

You're killing me? ::) Actually I will see what I can do but my photoshop skills aren't that good either. I just discovered that method to alter a picture the other day when I was croping my pictures for my website. I used a clone feature to redraw parts of my rig or background. Works pretty neat. To add the wing and change wheels and all that stuff might be tricky but it will give me a chance to see what my wifes "Rally Kicker" would look like.

i like the long bed and extra cab... it makes the vehicle look a lot beefier somehow... i wish i could get some kind of idea for my 2-door softy.. about the best i can get is an aerotop... i would like to have a panel going straight down from the top, to close the front from the back... and have like a removable window.... either that, or cut off that bar going up and over and somehow fixing that to where it can be removed (and the strip above the doors)... then, you can keep going with half-doors that can somehow be easily removed and reinstalled without having to take off the front fenders.... maybe all that is a little too much... but i would like an aero top, and removable half-doors
-
My vote is for the panel wagon. You could put a raised floor and mattress in it for overnighters, and put drawers under the raised floor for storage. You can lock it up so it would keep your stuff from "walking away"...
-
Those are great Ideas to think about. Just having the extra cab with a 4ft bed would be Nice.
BTW:HeyShredder , I think were twins ;D

Looking good
Oops, I do look a little darker, Maybe its just the lighting?

I was wondering what it would be like to drop a 2dr vert body on a 4dr frame, leave it a 4 seater vert with a lil pickup bed at the end...it would look a lot like the long bed picture when the top was down :)

that would be cool ;D
Or just put one of those big open air (canvas roll-back) tops on your 4dr.
With a rollcage installed of course. ;) ;D

HeyShredder , I think were twins ;D
Hey HotRod, how is it going "twin brother". ;D My picture there is a little over exposed. What all did you do to yours and what fender flairs are you running on it. I went wheeling all weekend and my tires kept throwing mud all over my mirrors. :( BTW my Tracker performed awesome. I went trough some really ugly stuff with ease. Forgot my camera :-[ . My client (I'm a hunting guide) was impressed with the things it would do. We actually camped out of it, which reminds me I need to comment in that thread about sleeping in one of these.
What size tires you running they look bigger than my 31s?
-
How about this? Small cab and longer bed.

I'm using 32x11.50 BFG M/Ts, Zaps the power right out but what the heck.
The fender flares I found at a local truck repair shop. They are just the standard 3"inch flares.
Or
JC Whitney has them. 3"inch heavy duty flares w/o the wire
BTW. It has the Calmini 3"inch Suspinion lift, Homemade 3"inch Body lift (3 1/4), Trimmed the front fenders back to the floor boardsand the ShrockWorks Front bumper (which is Awsome BTW)
Now I have to trim the back bumper. The tires rub when getting fully compressed.

How long did it take to get your bumper? Mine has been on order about 3 weeks or so. I'm not complaining, just wondering what to expect. Also I am building a HD rear bumper for the 4 door kicks. The fabricators have my ACAD drawings but I am behind a couple other jobs. I'll post pictures of it when it's done..

If I recall correctly,
I pre-ordered it back in June when They (ShrockWorks) were planning it ;D
So it is really hard for me to tell How long it took.
3 weeks isn't tooo bad yet, It takes over a week to ship it (mine came Fed-X)
I was thinking of swapping the back bumper from my 2dr for the 4dr but I'd stil like
to keep that one together too.
BTW: I thought ShrockWorks was thinking of one?
P.S. Did you have any pics of your AstroVan?

I asked them about it and they said not for a long time. I told them I would just have to make up my own rear then.
Here is a shot of my Astro. Check out this web page for more. http://www.overlandvans.com/stevesvans.html
