    DISCO 3 UTE

    Hi all.

    If you have read my previous posts, you will soon realise that I'm a nutter, always asking how I can change this and that, so the following will be no surprise.
    After a lengthy search for a suitable tray back ute that will take a slide on camper and tow car trailers full of junk, I came up looking at Landcruiser. After considering the having the lobotomy that turns me into a sheep and all the other nasty things that I would become as a Toyota owner again, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

    I have the answer once more sitting in the drive.

    My D3 has 260ks on her and I've spent a small fortune on her recently and was about to throw all that away for a crappy Toyota. Thank you Land Rover universe for letting me see the light...........
    Now all I have to do is find a reputable body builder to perform the conversion over to a ute.
    That's where you guys come in, so get typing and respond as I'm ready to go NOW!!!!!
    Before SWMBO changes her mind.

    I'd suggest dropping into the local undertaker and asking where they buy their herses from and who does the body build.. no pun intended A competent body works will have access to structural engineers to sign off on the changes for RTA requirements as well as metal workers who can produce a topnotch job... be careful everyone will want one Talk about a luxo! You could always claim the finished product is what a 130 series aspires to be

    Don't forget to post this pics of the completed job.

    I was looking at a chop and extension and add a ute back. No one would touch a D3 and D4 anymore for chassis extensions. All the well known ones gave me a outright no...they would never do another :-(

    This is what I wanted but in a D4 version.
