Thread: Rangie UTE Conversion

D2 belongs to my mate it's an animal!! Worked TD5 2" lift and Mickey T's 265/75/16's


Ute weighs 2400 fully fueled (140L) handles very well would have liked it to be a bit lighter say around 2T

dunno I am sure he told me funny thing is I bet if I had torn the other one off they would not have said anything at all!

I bet if you showed him the Eng cert straight away he wouldn't have bothered looking so hard.

Very nice build BTW, quite neat.

Yeah but where is the fun in that?

Just a little update -

Ute has been great done a hand full of touring trips a few hardish ones all going very well balanced.

Did a photo shoot in 4WD Monthly which was cool. still a few months before that comes out.

Mate and are currently planing a trip up North over Easter for 2 weeks which will be cool but i cant carry 2 weeks worth of supplies on the current tray so i started thinking and as my wife says that is never a good thing.....

Pictures i took during the 4wd Monthly Shoot -









Tray i found on Ebay





Was from a S2 Land Rover that used to hang around Sorrento in Melbourne. Not sure what it did but all the steel on the tray is very badly rusted. So it need a bit of work and every bolt had to be undone with a grinder!! Any keeping it in the family 8)














Haven't finish yet still need to mount the side, tool boxes and spare under the tray but the hard stuff is done. It's so damn lite i might have to change the rear springs as it feels like i have leaf spring in the rear will wait and see what it rides like with the long range tank and camping gear loaded before i change the springs

hey Mick looking real good now............... seriously thinking about chopping my rangie............ are the kits still going to be available? And what sort of rego hassles might I have in NSW?

thanks

not sure about the kits or the rules in NSW give LRA a ring and see if he is still running them
