I've seen a pic of a Vitara that's been given the chop and it's now a d/cab ute.
It was done by a place down South.



I could be quite tempted to do something like this

Has anyone done something similar? What are the things to look for or avoid if doing such a thing?
Cheers

Haha I just found the website of the place that does this.

I'm going to drop them a line and see if they are willing to tell me the best way of doing it.

I know its not a double cab but it may give you a few ideas.




Looks funny with the little tyres it was so shiney
This may give you a few ideas.

Tony Richardson does them, he'd do yours too!

Has done almost one of every vehicle but would do almost a suzuki a week.

His current one is beamed front and rear and running a Lexus...

I like them vitara 4 door even the more the newer shape, would be keen if cant find good lux

The missus has found out my plans and is trying to pull up the handbrake (just because we've just bought a house)

I might just have to "back" into something, or maybe something will "fall on it" if there is another shake here, so then I have to remove
the rear end.

Cheers NJ, I'll deff be giving him a buzz soon.

I say back into something

Anyway whos truck is it???

It's the wife's car - for now. I just get to use it when I want to go hunting.
May I can blame her for backing into something........

Park it on a on some angled ground and forget to put handbrake on

Insurance might cover it that way to

Some of the worst finished Ute Chops Ive seen, Had to do Wof repairs on many of his Suzuki Chops and that Safari Chop is a friends familys. There cut straight down, a sheet of panel steel cut to fit then welded right around the edge attacked with a grinder then a bit of laquer sprayed down the pillars and half the roof.A bit of 25mm box section welded in under the window for strength. Would hate to see one in a roll over.
IMO the C pillar should always be sectioned onto the B Pillar like Suzukisports, very tidy chop.

talk to Peter munro he does alot but I dont know who does them for him.

Im having a day in town on thurday and I know of one place that do them but cant think of the name so will find out
