i was thinking about suzuki's the other day and found some cool stuff on trademe. After only owning toyotas i looked at a couple of samurai's (sj80 i think?). all coil sprung and solid axles (i didnt know this). Im quite keen to find one of them and just rip the body and bolt a roll cage to it then chuck some ridiculous tyres on it and get the crawler gears in the transfer case and you have a super light, kind of amazing 4x4. so to answer your question, i would say its easy! Just pull the body off.

reckon if ya gonna put wide diffs under it like 80 series or nissan GU, then the tahs wont be a problem, co they will stick out that far they wont touch a thing

Stock vitaras are wider than stock hiluxes so they wont stick out that much

would do mate but dont wanna add that much weight, would that thin fuse wire suffice?

Hilux front 1420

Vitara rear 1400
Hilux rear 1400

SJ80 were the shitist of them all (mudslut will disaprove ) dont flex - for a coil sprung vehicle and had weaker running gear.

With a gas axe and a BFH you can make anything fit
