Looks like my 2wd one is getting the chop! I'm surprised how much further back the rack is on the non syncro trucks.....

Myself and Ian Silverbullet have been knocking this issue about in prep for me putting a VW set up on the Doka which is 16" so not sure if this will be a different dimension again. Options for chopping are varied, have you given any thought to a preferred method?

Saw! Then I was thinking of slipping a good fitting bar inside so it's dead straight and plug welding it in at a few points....then weld round the join with mig, put it back on and test :cheese

Also, can't see a 16 being any different, same panels with extra strength bits added
