    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.
