    Extended D3/D4

    Well, I've googled it extensively but no-one appears to have extended the chassis of a D3 or D4 - in theory it should be possible. Has anyone heard of it being done?

    Roof Racks? Trailer?

    You'll probably notice most of the people movers that take people to the airport, etc., are towing a trailer....unless they are a very large van.

    Considering you need an engineering certificate for anything more than a cut and polish these days, I'd hate to think what would be needed to extend a D4.
    The car is already close to GVM and maximum axle load off the showroom floor. Well, sort of.
    I agree with the trailer/roof racks/different vehicle suggestions.

    I don't know about the wheelbase being stetchable, but the 6x4 and 6x6 setups look pretty neat. The first link below is the online version of a LRM article from early last year. It is a stretched D3/4 6x4 fifth wheeler with a specialty trailer built for the British Navy. From memory there are other articles around with more details. I have added a couple more below that.
