BOBTAIL RANGE ROVER
Range Rover Blues:
I've seen a 6x4 converion where they grafted the rear corner panel on to the B posts behind the dors and filled in the light aperture, it made the back of the cab look tidy. The rear was a pick-up tub.

Hmm, now you have got me thinking. I wonder what pick up tub could be grafted on?
Range Rover Blues:
Go for the retro look with a flareside, less panels to damage.

Huh, what's a flare side? Less damage sounds good to me. I go to Langdale a lot and with aall the body roll on the lifted and soon to be more lifted Bob, less panel damage has to be a good thing. There are tree's and stumps everywhere that have already dinted nearly every panel
Range Rover Blues:
Basically it's a bit like a 50's yank pickup, Transit has one with big plasticky arches. The tub fits btween the wheels and the body is effectively just this, then the wheelarches are on the outside, hence the term flareside. You do loose al the nooks and crannies to stow things in but the rear tub would be narrower and less prone to damage, only the wheelarches extend to the edge of the truck.
