Title: sidekick 4 door open pickup bed
Post by: ryanf73 on March 19, 2009, 02:55:08 PM: Has anyone seen a 4 door sidekick with the area behind the backseat converted into a pickup bed?
I would like to do it to mine but would like to see pictures of someone elses first.
Hound Dogs like the fresh air!

but......
i have seen a 4 door turned into a pick-up truck they just filled the rear doors and welded sheet metal to make the floor flat, and used parts off the 2 door kick. Making everything from the back of the front seats to the tailgate a pick-up bed. It was impressive, and looked pretty much stock.

I just made a cago box to fit behind the back seats. It is 28" deep from the rear seats to the door.

Post by: ryanf73 on March 20, 2009, 04:50:25 PM: Not to many freeway around here. And it can hang out the back another foot to the back of the bumper. Losts of room for a dog box. They are usually only 24in deep.

Need to see pics!

Post by: Lindenmooch on March 22, 2009, 10:47:45 AM: I think if you took the back seats out of a 4 door...and covered it in diamond plate like that....you'd have 2945043 square feet of room back there. Plenty for a dog to run around. Looks nice, even in that tiny 2 door.

What about chopping the roof off of a 4 door, and making a proper pickup truck? Anyone ever try that?
