Bit of price difference.

It's an option I could do, just got to get other stuff done first. And save enough $.
I've got internal bead locks I was going to use but always good to think of other things.

Spare wheel cover also acts as a step for getting onto deck.

Still got to plate side for strength and put chains on to hold it level.

mudsurfv6

Looking good.

What did it cost to get the rims done?

mudsurfv6

Those rims won't be helping the rubbing. The bigger the negative offset the further the rims are going to arc around to hit on back of arches.

How do you get a wof with them sticking out like that?

mudsurfv6

Tail gate frame made up.

mudsurfv6

you can make 35s fit just fine, have a body lift, trim the guards and smash the shit out of the wheel arch yep, I've had 35s on a ln60 surf, so same front end as ln106, standard height springs, 2" body lift, cut guards 4"s higher and used a bfh on the rear of the arches, no rubbing on bod...

That would help. Door isn't flat though, would have to shape it to fit. Was hoping to keep it all flush along side, will do what UBZ suggested, and was picturing the front door bar hinged off exo in front of door and latching/contacting the vertical B pillar bar. So all flush along side. But if I do...

Cross over steering would solve steering rod shortening issue., 130 surf/78 prado/ 80 series box 70 series tie rod and drag link.
You can get a bracket to bolt onto chassis to take 130 box if needed.
Minimal cost for everything.

I have emailed them and they want me to send them one to copy, will see what else I can come up with. otherwise will have to do without trailer for a while.

thanks

I know its not 4wd, In fact its nowd. but might need 4wd leaf springs to replace existing springs. it used to have 1950s PB Vauxhall hubs and rims so thinking springs might be from that. anyway they are poked so after a eye/slipper spring that is 1250 long. most trailer springs are 600-750mm long. d...

mudsurfv6

mudsurfv6

why not just load photos straight onto here? from the sd card, or from your phone.

mudsurfv6

Why not make it removable , fit it tight and block the back doors a bit for hardcore tracks and take it out for around town ? hadn't thought of that :lol: . good thinking. sounds like a plan, just have to figure out mounting at top and bottom. if rear door doesn't open when B pillar bar in place th...

mudsurfv6

Hard to see in photos but it stuck out a lot further than the other bars along side, figured it would get caught up on things and probably just cause more problems. So I cut it up and used else where.

mudsurfv6

Bit more, 2 bars along guard to join up to front bar next. 20170706_143716.jpg 20170706_143733.jpg End of box behind rear door be cut on angle and capped. Was planning on adding a bar between doors but had to be out so far to clear doors when open that it just looked ridiculous, and would also get c...

Nothing wrong with just lo's ass, on her.

Looking good, gonna be interesting where this ends up.

mudsurfv6

In place, some diagonals to go in to strengthen it up.
Can start building up off it now.
Hopefully clears body when/if lifted up as part of the exo.

mudsurfv6

Answer is 'the plugs are different' but whole thing looks like it will fit.

And finding out how to reset security code is simple with Google. Had to reset the prado radio, last 3 numbers of frame number did it. Read universal code for Toyota is 320 but that didn't work.

Brackets to fix sliders to chassis. 20170617_152210.jpg Start of sliders, bolts will be other way around, just don't want to melt nylons welding. Hopefully bolt heads won't get caught on rocks or anything. The box running front to back will be part of the complete exo so when/if lifted off it won't ...

mudsurfv6

looks like a fun track.

mudsurfv6

does anyone know if a factory Toyota stereo out of a 2013 hilux will fit into a 2003 120 prado?
both are 200x100, but do they fix in the same? are the plugs the same?
hopefully the security code won't be too hard to sort out. anyone know?
