Need to find: 4x4 with a 98.4" wheelbase, or close.

Anyone know of a 4x4 truck/suv with a 98.4 inch wheelbase, or something close to it?

My old man has a project in mind, he just needs something to make it work.

BII is 94" I think.

2 door explorer is about 102" (depends on model year).

4 door Suzuki Sidekick/Geo Tracker = 97.6".

I'm gonna take a guess. Converting one of those old VW Rabbit pickups to a trail rig?

I wish.

He want's to slap an Escort body onto a 4x4 frame to drive back and forth to work with through the woods. Only reason why I'm helping is because I know he'll just give up and put the original 4x4 body back on instead.

So far those 4x4/four door trackers sound like the best bet at 97.6"

Suzuki SX4 = 98.4 wheelbase. But it's AWD, not really 4x4.

But really, why not just drive the used Tracker?

Already 4x4 and a lot roomier than an Escort.

I told him to just get a BII and say to hell with the Escort, but he's stuck on this idea.

I expect him to get sick of the fab work it will take and put the old body back on anyway, so whatever we end up with is probably the body that we will use.

Frankly, I'd cut up TWO Bronco2 frams and simply lengthen the bugger
by 4.4" in the process.

Particularly if this vehicle won't be street registered...
