Nope not a D2 chassis, it is the original Rangie chassis and the conversion was meant to be under $10k when I spoke to him about it at Wandin year before last.

If your just talking the engine conversion that is but for the entire vehical that is engineered to run 35" tyres plus the lift it has is all legal and that would be where the money is.

Why not give him a call and ask, that doesnt cost much to do and wont take much time either as Andrew is pretty much to the point.

You can get anything engineered but it is up to Vicroads if they want to register it.

From what Andrew told me it is built to the Maximum legal limit that you could take a Rangie and he worked hard with his engineer and Vicroads to get it too that point.

They have spent the money to do it so now if we wnat it we have to buy the kit's off them and have them fit it.

Putting a TD5 in a D1 ...good to see this site still has a sense of humor....

What makes you say that? :eek:

Ive seen the one in Andrew's Rangie so why not a D1, would actually make more sense than in a D2......No extra electrics to worry about and have a few creature comforts than a Fender...:p

Try this out for size.....:D

And as far as the leglities go on the 35" tyres, Vern (Damien) is right and 33" is the max these days since April 2006 but I was talking to Andrew about it in Feb 2006 and I hadnt looked it up my self since.

So your right, Im wrong :D

Hmm, cane across this.. I have a D1 with some cool gear. I have a D2 TD5 parts car ( Auto for my other D2 ). The TD5 allegedly works, I have the complete car minus the turbo and pipe and the XYZ switch which I won't need. The D1 has an Ashcroft R380 but it has a dead 300TDi ( dropped valve ). I'm fishing here a little, I'm in no place to actually do it right now, but would I really need a Deefer loom and ECU, or could I use the stuff I have?

Has anyone, other than LRA, actually done this?
