Tray back project begins....

Going to be good, plenty of pics please

This could be really interesting

What plans do you have for winch, axles, suspension, engine/transmission etc. ?

Jesus now that was rusty in the arse end good luck with the chop some time ago on here was told that you do need to cut rear door frame in half and add i think 20mm to make it marry up closer to the front body section will be watching this closely

I've got a 3" suspension lift with Es3000 shocks that I picked up second hand, also got some 3" corrected radius arms on the way to me along with 32mm spacers, longer braided brake lines and I'll also be dong a body lift.

Not decided on a winch as yet, that will be decided when I have funds for a reasonable one.

Leaving the engine as is just now until I've got some spare cash to do a swap, fancy a 1.7td engine though.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a lobster box full set up coming up for sale, seem like hens teeth though.

As for axles, I've not really thought about that yet. Anyone got any advice on this?

Thanks Dave. Yeah she had a proper tea bag arse on her! I only had to grind a few areas, the rest basically fell out or with a little persuasion from a chisel and hammer.

Thankfully my friend who is helping me is switched on with the fabrication side if things, I'm basically just the labourer and stripper! I'll give some welding a shot though, best way to learn.

Yota 70s are a option some had a optional LSD or G wagon as come with lockers standard depends what you want to use it for and how much work you want to do to get them under the truck
