Hey surfdout

Did you find anything on this. I want to do this aswell. I have both vehicles. A quick measure and the wheelbase is much shorter on a cruiser so I dont reackon the cab will fit between the wheels without some serious lift or the axles being moved or the chassis lengthend or whatever. I would say lengthenig the chassis would be the way to go for me as I want to keep the height down but I dont really know whats involved in this. Anyone help? It would also need to be a scratch build if doing the chassis swap which is not a major if you live near someone who can cert.......I dont. Palmy is the closest for me. Also has to meet 2010 vehicle standards which included variable windscreen wipers and something to do with the heater etc etc. Not major just annoying shit. Im tempted to just coil the front of my lux with the cruiser shit.

Id be interested to hear if anyone has done one with a double cab. Im sure someone has but Im a pleb and can find shit on anything that I want too with the search.

Have talked to several local certifiers and they all tell me its scratch build....... Think all the rules have been tightened in recent years.
