Hello Mudmates,
I recently saw and shared an availability of a LX470 that was a little ruff, had 250k miles but was only $2500. What kind of a awesome off road rig could one make out of this by taking off the body and making a trail rig from the chassis. I would guess that the body and interior would way 1500-2000 lbs. ( anyone feel free to correct me on this) It would have great performance and be bullet proof. 35's would be easy, stock toyota suspension would be fine. With a little more work it could be made street legal (think VW rail/buggy) Parts removed would help pay for the fab work required. The end result would be incredible.
Has any else done this or have hints or ideas?
Am i crazy or brilliant? you tell me........
