Looking for pictures of Bobtailed trucks, not Land rovers

[spacephrawg]

I don't know what they call them outside of the UK. Every time I search for bobtail 4x4's on google and bing, i get images of bobtailed LR's and Range Rovers, which are fine but I wanted to see pics of similarly modified vehicles of other brands. I know they exist because I've found them on occasion, labeled unintuitively mixed in deep with results from searches like "Lifted Toyota Hilux" or "Toyota Truck 1984 SR5" or others. I need key words so I can find images of these things more easily. It doesn't have to be exclusively Toyotas but I can't complain if they are.

An example of what I'm talking about btw:

google "bobbed toyota" or "bobbed toyota pickup" sometimes you have to work google to your advantage.

All 'yotas should look that good!

Thanks everyone. I've had a bit more luck now. I've tried some general searches looking for bobbed trucks and SUV's in general, found one that i can't seem to find now of a couple of bobbed Land Cruisers - an FJ55 and an FJ60. But everything else is always toyota. Nothing wrong with that, but you'd think there would be other bobbed rigs out there yes?

Where did the name "bobtail" come from re: trucks btw?

Thanks again!


Edit: i found the links to the bobbed FJ55 and 60. As a token of thanks, here they are:

What I want to know is why they couldn't have made them look this awesome stock. I'm liking the look of these. If my bobbed 1984 "truck" sells well, I might make one of these. I'll satisfy my taste and avoid copyright no matter how accurately I make the rest of the truck! Woo hoo!

Anyhow, I hope everyone had an excellent Saturday night. Now that it is Sunday morning, and 2:20am as I write this, I'm finally off to bed. ttfn and thanks again.
