Default Anyone extended a vechile Wheelbase before?

I'm not talking just pushing the axle forward/back, but actually extending the chassis & body. For more interal room as well as the benefits of longer wheelbase.

Anyone done it?
Got any tips?
Other ideas?

Just planning/brainstorming/dreaming right now......

edit: ops wong section - meant to be in Fabrication - any mods feel like moving it for me?

Like this?



How much were you thinking of extending it by?

Would the final result be an Unlimited look or a Scrambler style?

Well the basic thought is.....
I retain back seat - gain some room behind the back seat.
Relocate the fuel tank up Firetruck style - but behind the back seat...so I get room underneath and don't sacrafice backseat & storage room......
Would be extending the hardtop - so more unlimted look

Hmm....

What would go in the tank's place if you lift it? Are you planning on relocating the rear axle at the same time?
