You need to track down a DVD series called a "4x4 is Born"
Its a very detailed (15 hours), entertaining and informative video production (originaly made for Discovery Channel) on exactly what you are considering - making a range rover hybrid using a modified range rover chassis and series or 110/90 body work. Lots of good ideas, inspiration and tips even if you decide not to do it exactly the same way he did.
I would go with 100" wheel base - apart from not having to cut and shorten the rangie chassis in a critical structural area, 100" is about the ideal off road wheelbase anyway.
I also have a lot of photos of my 100" hybrid, PM me with your email address if you would like some.
Ok the boss has spoken, I am rechassising :?: My old race truck it is 100 leaf spring ATM. So it is now getting a rangie chassis, Starting this wek sometime so I will post pics as it goes. As far as body goes it is allready modified so I can only give distructions on this part of it.

well we are pulling the rangie apart tomorrow and the series body will be sat onto the chassis by the end of the week hopfully. i work shift work. so any pics will be a great asset to me and my father and brother. email is brindo75@hotmail.com
