Hey all thinking about this for a replacement body for my rusty sj410 Would my running gear swap over easy? Or would a body swap be the way to go? anybody no any history about this or seen it round??

was on trade me a while back complete. Was spring over axle i think. had winch etc. looked like someones toy. Cant remember who was selling it so dont know if hes parted it out or someone bought it and is parting it.

Body swap would be easier. Think this one is a wide track so springs wont line up. Unless you get wide track diffs

Oh yeah so body swap from 413 to to 410 easy then bolts line up etc? or would i be better to put my engine and tranz into 413 body and putting my mates toyota axles in it

its been rolled....probably better off to find one with a blowen motor or somthing and buy the whole thing and then you have drive line spares aswell.

Mods mods mods

Go the hilux axles and then coil it to.

Then have it sit in the garage in parts for the next 6 - 12 months

thats how its working for me. but when its finished hilux 4.88 diffs, coils allround, 1800 twincam with auto.

Go the mods if you can handle not driving for months .....and months.....and months

mods... that is all i have to say on the matter...

Yeah guys if you could see the dreams in my head!! hehe but lacking of funds of course lol

So anybody got piks of coil jobs your giving me all these ideas now!!

well... just got fixed offer for the body...........$700!!!!!! WOW dont think so if it still had running gear then maybe

Dont let those ideas stay in the head get them in the garage.

Will get some photos of mine at some point. The rear end is together although only tacked. Working on front now.

Using range rover arms front and lower rear made my own upper A link for rear.

Might do a build thread at some point but only when its finished as its taking ages (missus, 3 yr old garage assitant and 12 week old take up most of my spare time.)

Opps starting to look like a hi jack sorry.

Last word just do it you now you you want to :bounce:

My last two 413's cost $1300 the pair, both runners, one of them registered and warranted.
