After straddling a creek bed a few weekends ago...

I have been playing around with ideas for bobbing the T, and went way out there with this one. I thought it would be straight pimpin. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" /> What do you think? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Here were some more realistic ones. Again, just daydreaming, although someday it will happen... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Body Damage is Cool
Ive thought about bobbing my bed too, shortening the wheelbase like the T-Runner in gray would be nice, but of course alot of work, probably would have to cut off the back 1/3 of the frame with a 3link system and coil overs inside the back of the cab...

I just used Photoshop. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> It's a great tool for daydreaming up ideas like this, among other things.

DAYUNG, B! That's a nice looking TRunner... Only thing I'd change is to leave he xtra cab window stock length for ease of build...

Also like the last of the red ones as well. Found the 442...

LOL - one of the first things I noticed. Second was the off-color fuel door.

I like the original, especially the matching shortened topper, but agree to leaving the xcab size alone. Of the others, although the rear overhang is the driving reason behind bobbing the bed, I think with just a little more left to balance fore and aft of the wheel it looks cleaner and less hacked than the center one of the three red Ts.

For myself, I'm pretty well sold on a flatbed. Not a lot I use the bed for other than the spare and a tool box, and I'm getting to the point of wondering how best to enlarge the wheel wells.
