Don't matter wat u do it's still going to look stupid with a 3 foot tray Coil the rear end then u can drag the diff back with out a chassis extention Fliped controll arms in the original spring hanger might work Then all u need is coil seat and a panhard rod and shock mounts |

the big problem is that over here extending the wheelbase is an no-go and it would not pass any MOT 
damn i wish lwb sammy's werent so rare over here |

It's not an extension of the chassis. You welded in some new sections to repair chassis damage, bugger....I cut them a little to long

There not allowed to change the chassis in any way or the car is never to be registered again The bits 4 vits gv had the back bobed of and then he could never get it passed Are u sure u can't extend the wb if u don't change the frame only add to the inside of it It's all to do with rear crash rules or something like that isn't it |

the wheelbase is registerd on the papers and checked every MOT maybe its possible to extend it but it will be a long road it has to be checked out totaly to get a new register and then there gone bug about the spoa the engine the winch and all the other shit that makes it a good 4wd and then after all the blood and tairs the are going to tell me that its never gonna happen so then i lost a lot of money and still havent got MOT meantime i'm looking out for an lwb chassis but there hard to come by over here |

Maybe try to find an ID plate from a LWB, that could be easier to find. |

Was thinking what about some kind of toolbox type tray? Depending on what you use it for. Explaining what I mean, basically almost a flat trayback, but a couple of hundred mm deep and the lid on gas struts so you can put crap in it or on top of it. I suppose it depends if you're going to cage it or not though. |

http://forum.difflock.com/viewtopic.php ... d9aea4d9a2 Its hard to tell but I think the axle may have been moved back a touch, but the look of the cage it self is alright.

^ That looks like it has a double B pillar! Good for a spacecab. If your able to weld onto the chassis, 3link+panhard the rear, link it for standard length wheelbase, and make longer arms, tailshaft for a longer wheel base setup. So that also means 4 rear top coilmounts. and 2 panhard mounts.. Makes things easier to swap for mot. But i guess they would pick on the welding too.. I watched a show a while ago on tv, looks like they are getting picky everywhere. Even russia, where the cars fall apart, so many trucks and cars failed and many old people were complaining. |

Its hard to tell but I think the axle may have been moved back a touch, but the look of the cage it self is alright. i now this one for a while and the first plan was to build somthing like it it has an vitara/tracker axle with coils under it so its a inch or 3/4 longer but then i came along matt's lwb and fell in love

started on the tray so the turd is coming back to live 
plan is to make a short tray for the challenge i'm gonna drive in so it's nice and tight between all the l#ndr#v#r shit driving there 
not done yet so there's no sign of any bracing yet but there's gonna be plenty of that in time |

Why so high? Putting anything on the tray will now be pointless as the COG will be so much higher making it more prone to rolling. Why did you cut the back off in the first place, was there a reason? |

because it was really rotten mate there was no metal left to weld anything on why so high? any lower and it would really look like shit there's gonna be a box in between the bars so al the weight is low oh by the way, i'm pretty long

Eg: if you chopped it because you are going to use it in competitions, then storage isnt really neccessary, however if you chopped it because you were hoping to store more crap, then you would need a very useable tray. I still think lower it so that it matches the height of the front guards, but thats just my opinion. Best of luck with it! |

That green thing would have to be one of the first cut down ute conversions that actually looks alright. They have made the body/tray flow. |

It's a shame that more aren't built that well. It's not really a chop though (as in a trayback conversion) it's more of a tubed out tub. It would be interesting to see what it looks like now though - it reckon there would be some funky flexing/stress going on between the stock panels and the tube rear. I reckon it would be a prime candidate to crack around the transition. Sierra bodies move a lot on the chassis and my guess is the tube won't be moving at all relative to the chassis. Steve. |

i never heard of the green sj again and its an pretty old topic it maybe dead in the line off duty it sure would be crackt if its still alive @brenno:its going to compete next year in the www.noordelijke4wdchallenge.nl in an field of all l@ndr@vers. so there is no need for big storage only some recovery materials highjack groundanckor and that kind off stuff unlike the lr i want it to be light, short and small so i can drive where they get stuck
