Believe me guys/gals I did a search for a post I read sometimes back (with pictures) on bobtailing the back of a FJ tub. The thread was neat, clean and had a lot of insight to it. I've been out for quite some time with other priorities and am just about ready to blow the dust off Da Snail (her given name) and start again. Once in the Garage I'll save some of the mods I did to her but only a few. Bobtailing the back is in the sequence. I know the question is very thin but does anybody remember the thread? Had some very nice pictures of the process.

Yeah! onthespot's thread sometimes is like eating crow. That’s what I get for having too many brews while talking to a buddy of mine that wants to bobtail his Lab. The dogs a year and a half old and I keep telling him the dog is too old to be cutting the tail. He gets the wild hair every time he sees my English Bulldog (Buttons) that has no tail to speak of. Short and tight curl but that’s the character of this breed of bulldog. Ah well, its his dog if he wants to have it bobtailed that’s his decision. But I sure wouldn’t not at his age.
