vzn130 body to yn60 chassis q's

Post by gimmemud »

Hi guys, just got me a 91 3litre v6 surf to swap the body over to my yn 60 chassis with, currently rooted body.

Thinking i'm gonna do the wide axle swap as well, so... how easy/hard would it be just to swap the whole coil spring setup/rear diff over to the 60 chassis, or should i just stick to leafs and get some or these http://www.snr4x4.co.nz/spring-perches-hole-p-39.html ?

And, would the front hubs off this model surf work with the ifs hub swap with these? http://www.snr4x4.co.nz/snr-ifs-hub-spa ... p-236.html or should i just get some of these? http://www.snr4x4.co.nz/toyota-aluminum ... -p-11.html

Will have surplus bits for sale soon too.
Thanks in advance, Tim

if your looking at swaping over the whole coil setup thats going to require cert,if so wouldnt it make it easyer to chop the 2 chasis in half and take your current front with the coil rear and glue them together?may work out less effort,but will be a whole lot more than grinding off the trailing arm mounts of axle and welding on those new perches,thats exactly what ive just done to my brother n laws d21,hope that helps some what

Cheers for the reply, was thinking i would have to cert the body swap anyway? Might have to have a closer look when i swap the body's over. Was hoping that it would be nice and easy :lol: :lol:

Hmmm hadn't thought about swapping the whole rear end, will have to look into that as well.
