If you want us to spend time providing you with information how about you start by providing us with some. You say your car is an sj50 WT, is it the yellow one in your avatar?, what year is it?, is it a NT with WT diffs?, does it have a WT or NT chassis? Can you take some pics of the front of the chassis where the shackles mount.

[Marko_SJ]

My SJ50 is WT, and I'm pretty sure my mates WT is SJ50 also.

Also two stroker, Yelozuki isn't the OP.

Edit: unless he has multiple accounts.

[303zuke]

SJ50 was the NT 1.3 AND ALSO the first WT. Had plastic flares and 3.9 diffs.

carn guy's it's not that hard to throw a few links up for light reading & to give him 1/2 an idea what he's up against.

here's a few i found.

There are so many sierras around that have been re bodied, re chassis'd, WT/NT conversion etc etc etc. so for anyone to help him out I don't think it is unreasonableness that he answer some basic questions. Anyone that has done a few RUF knows it is a different process to RUF a WT compared to a NT.

[atari4x4]

fair enough, surely there are threads for both though, the sj codes are all over the shot & confuse me a fair bit.

pretty sure ajsr's bbq'd barge was a wt, that was nt spring spacing & ruf'd.

[SierraDan]

You've changed....

[atari4x4]

shhhhhh, it's just a front.

[cheezles]

thanks atari, found some useful info in them
getting the pics from my phone and ill post in a sec for 2stroker

[cheezles]

i always assumed if the mounts were offset to the chassis it was wide track

[atari4x4]

WT

[cheezles]

thanks for the reply

[2stroker]

Thanks mate, yep WT which is always a but more work and a bit harder to disguise

For a silver WT chassis it should end up something like this:

I have 2 sierras my yellow one is a sj70 and I have a white one that's a Sj50.
Diffs look the same to me and I'm certain neither has been body swapped.

Factory sj50 WT plus I have owned a total 4 WT sj50s.



I suspect that QLD is a bit different due to having a different importer then the rest of Aust.

yeah, i looked through that thread and that's what ill be following when i get everything and start the conversion, hopefully comes up alright

[JrZook]

Just read through it carefully and add some more length to your hanger spacing if you are going to use EFS length springs (I had to find that out the hard way) or use slightly shorter springs.

[Samwich]

I have a SJ51 and i can confirm its a NT.

Also looking at doing the RUF. But i need to go through rego before the moding begins.

[want33s]

SJ51 are all NT lwb/ute.
SJ50 is both NT & WT Swb.
