D100 Building

hmmm - update

Bought lots of parts from Billing - they arrive next week.

Now Bankrupt - as also running a RR!!!

What info do you need about the rear tub?

LRH.

What's it from ?
Would it fit my 110 ute (ie what's its length etc) and would the wheel wells be in the right place. ?

[quote="LRHybrid100I'm going to be moving the rear bulkhead backwards by 10" and then get someone then to get the front cut / machined - so it looks like it has not been touched.

The chassis will be shortened where the rear outrigger is - cutting both the outriggers and the crossmember out - will then reposition the crossmember 10" further back and the outriggers will then be sat on top of the rear trailing arm mounts.

Does this make sense?[/quote]

mmm sort of
I had a 100 Hybrid. But was a mixture of a 110 and a rangie ( bulit by Rapid Rovers , same company that built Bryan Adams VOD 100"). Rangie was the chassis everything else was the 110. The problem they have with Rangies is where to put the rear chassis mount as it wants to be where the rear radius mount is. But you should have not have any problem with this if you leave it where it is. But there again you want to move it . I think this could be a big problem . On mine it had a bridge of sorts over the mountings
The 100" is the best for off roading . 110 too long and 90 too sort. BTW seen many people in UK who have got a rangie and wanted to cut it down to a 90. Got the saw out and cut it down to 90" and welded it up . Then look shocked when the body work does not fit . (funny to explain to them)Here is a pic of my old one. Sorry only pic i have as it was a long time ago. And sorry about the size. This truck still lives local to me . But the bloke that owns it now has put a hard top on it

G'day,

I originally started the project with a RR 100" chassis, but now I have a D110 chassis - just need to work out if its worth shortening or not at the moment.

The rear tub is from a 1995 2 door hardtop D110 and this would just replace your old tray and rear bulkhead on your ute Vlad.

I didn't want to touch the cab, but rather make the tray a seperate item (like on the current Falcon Utes) but I don't suppose there'd be any major dramas modifying it for that.

Thanks.

I wonder how much a tub would be worth...

Hey Reads90,

I've had a quick look at your website - looks good, but I found that it had an error when I tried to view the details of your previous LR's

I can get this page http://www.reads4x4.com/history.htm but the links done work from there!!!

I was looking forward to viewing more of your Hybrid 100"
