The chop is easy , its making it look like a factory job is where all the details are.

Ive often thought a D4 would make a good dual cab ute such as how they do the Landcruiser 100 and 200 series cut down to dual cab utes! Love the look of this one!
Yeah. I've got a nine inch grinder..... Still, it would be great.Quote:

Has anyone done it? I can only assume if you paid someone it would not be worth your while given what I have read on this thread so far. But if you had the skills and tools it may be a useful project

It seems fairly evident that the chassis of a D1 or D2 is best extended by about 20" both for appearance and practicality with a trayback (often done using 2 chassis). Does anyone know if a D3/D4 chassis be extended as simply??
Extending the chassis would be easy enough. Getting it engineered with the stability control calibrations etc may be another issue all together....
D4 wheelbase is 10" longer than a D1/D2 to start with?
here's one of my customers ute conversion

D3/4 have a full chassis so no different to a D1/2, airbags and electrics would be the main concern.Quote:
