Cabine de Fibra Pra Minha Band longa. Construção passo a passo. - Forum 4x4 Brasil - Maior Forum Brasileiro de Veiculos Off-Road.

This topic is about a Bandi made glass fiber with 4 doors! His body was stretched to it, despite being a long-Bandi.

What a craftsman! That is going to be one sweet ride. I could not imagine the cost to do that kind of work up here. I love the modified dash pad. Very cool.

are all bandi bodies fiberglass?
or is this an aftermarket tub?

Looks cool but I think the rear door window needs to be made a little smaller so it sits in teh door rather than going fwd over the base (if that makes sense).

I am looking at doing this to my current 40 ATM.

I would love to put one of these on my 1995 Dodge Cummins chassis!

I have still been thinking about the project. In fact, I cut up a 78 that I parted out and was very carefull to save the door frames to use. I still have the rolling chassis too.

Sounds like to me this would be a start of a cool build.

has Aqualu actually finished making the doors yet?

I like that you shortened the top and that you angled the rear door. Were you not able to preserve the radius corners of the rear door? Can you post some more pictures on this thread? I'm saving parts right now tho do a similar build.

Cheers Volcanic, more pics the better.

The pics of my truck are what you would call mock ups. You see I am more of a visual person so I grabbed a door and ran a saw through it to see what it would look like.

The real ones will have the original 40 series hinges and bottom radius graphed onto them and then will have a custom lower section. My current plan is to use a 40 series door front wind down window without the 1/4 glass section.

Well it is almost time to begin ...

If it were me, I would start with an FJ 60 or FJ62 frame and lengthen as needed. The frames are stonger to start with.

I would LOVE to put this Aqualu 4 door tub on an 80 chassis. Swap (or source) a 5 speed manual and maybe a diesel..

ok FINE... where do I source a trashed bodied (read: cheap) left hand drive, 5 speed diesel 80 series...?

I want to build the Toyota that Toyota didn't make (for the US anyway): the "Land Cruiser Unlimited Rubicon" (pardon the reference to that Chrysler product)
