join the que for a lwb one. shorties are there for the taking tho

yeh just gotta be quick for the decent SWB ones ay, and Im not realy willing to spent 10-13g on a stock LWB one when I just going to cut the back off it anyway

Bump

Theres a few auto LWB's popping up, but I'm still iffy as to whether they are the way to go or not. Took a mates for a drive yesterday, and it was very sluggish off the mark, but a manual is rare

yeah Im the same, think Id rather a manual and especially if im guna run 35s or 36s. cos I know there no powerhouse and dont see me turboing one straight away either

manual convrsion kits popping up for $300 ish on tm all the time.

If that is the blue truck in town then it is pretty tidy.

Dave, if you pick up an auto and want to drop a manual in it, then let me know. I've got everything here (except gearbox) for the conversion.

Pics of Hi roof Ute chopped would be great cheers, just cant picture them really, do like the low roof ones though!!

Thanks, if I buy it, I will be doing the conversion eventually, but would be good to have everything in advance. Will be in touch.

The Hunt is over! just picked up the new Whale!! Stoked!
89 Safari, 153ks, Warn winch, 33inch Mongrels(will be replaced VERY soon),3.5" Lift kit ordered,Snorkel ordered,tomorrow night guard chop!

looks awesome in white!

Yeah I reckon it does!, planned on painted whatever one I got white anyway so saves me a bita work.Its an AD model which I guess is basic model? cos its got manual windows & no A/C.
Think that could be a good thing

very much so. The electric windows are a bastard!!

is it a safari or patrol?? diesel?? auto manual? looks the part and the alloy bars will help with weight over the front, good score man!!

I've got a white guard with a safari snorkel attatched sitting in my shed, not a very common colour, but the best one IMO

89 Safari, Manual, diesel, Ive only ever seen patrols in white but it is the factory colour, looks like it used to have huge ugly graphics down the sides.Probably get a repaint after the holidays if I can be bothered,definatly white again though. Says its an AD model on the rego if that means anything? real happy with it, got it for 5800 so not bad price either.

Mine had AD stuck on the back door. Has elec windows, a/c, rear locker. But no gauge cluster under the rear vision mirror. And my rear seat seems a bit funny like its too close to the front seats. Otherwise same as every other safari I've seen. Minus the rust most have.

Awesome mate! All the best with the mods.That vehicle will look the part with 35's.Not to mention do all the tricks for you.

thanks, just hope everything arrives before xmas!! I always thought the rear seats folded all the way forward but mine dont seem to, is it just me or they all like that?

Haven't seen a seat that doesn't fold all the way foward
Usually 2 levers, one to fold down, and one near the floor to fold foward

I know you have already brought a truck and Im a bit late with my reply but here is a pic of a highroof ute. Only just caught up with my brother n law today.

Cheers

You couldnt get a few more shots from the side and back.I have seen one done but just didnt look that good

Cheers Shane

I do have 1 of the side I will put that on tonight. But i dont have 1 of the back. my partners dad has done a few all the same colour high roof and low roof. They are mainly in the Far North but there is 1 in Auckland.

looks the part, very professional, is he a panel beater?? does he shorten the chassis at the rear at all??

Nah hes not a panel beater he is a handyman he does everything from boats to tractors to cars, 4wd, even building.

He hasnt done anything to the Chassis kept it all original so he could make a full size deck.

I had propblems with the side pic so I will fix that this arvo and get that on here I will ask for1 of the back as well.
