interesting

Shame the cab insn't more complete on the Hilux, I'd be sorely tempted to stick a fourtrak engine and box in it - proper power in a proper truck!

I bet the body of the 4Track would go onto that Yota chassis, with a bit of grinding and stuff. Wink

OK so started on the conversion this week.

bought some steel.

bought left and right hand fine pitch rose joints spacers etc.

bought a ridiculously rare prop shaft.

today i mostly stuck a front axle on.
as always forgot the before pic.

and yes it is a little high.

Wow

Looking cool Cool

Whats the idea of the prop/why is it rare then?

Double-cardan, used for high angle drivetrains. Cool bit of kit and defiantly needed if the front lift is anything to go by Shocked

That's really cool man, this is a great buildup. Your mrs has the same look on her face as mine when asked to pose beside a 4x4 Laughing

looking good but please put a triangle brace on each of the bends on the steering arms as it wont take much for them to bend out of shape on the steering,there is more force on them than you think Wink

i assume its gonna be mot'd noodle, look great on the road, i was gonna doo my high steer more complicated but i would love to keep hearing how strong it is etc.

Im not gonna lie to you, Ive nackered mi back up so I've took a few tramadol pain killers, they dnt wirk very well so I thought the few beers would do the trick and they did, now I'm not sure why's going on with the build btt it's looking cool. The missus looks annoyed, kinda like r lass looks when ever I'm near by. I'm sure she dunt like me

diff n pinion parts yes, axles hmmm not so much, just need the complete diff units really, the halfshafts are all same spline as diesals i think......so its a case of bearings shims etc....
