Well i got these 2 home today, wasn't easy... the 3litre patrol didn't have fun lugging them home. LET THE FUN BEGIN!

 

[denis]

nice score
A 75 series ute is still in my dreams although I'm building a 'lux

So what's the plan ?

 

[Z()LTAN]

Well, one is a 97 and the other is a 95.

Im going to do up the 97, and use the 95 for parts for now, then make it a runner and sell it.

Going to heavily mod the 97, LOA dual lokkers, high steer, shackle inversion, shock inversion, ratios, EXO, HD turbo/intercooler @ 18psi drop shakles...

u know the usual..

Cant complain as i got them both for 3k

 

[crushers]

the bodies look nice and straight...congrates...

 

[Z()LTAN]

the 95 has a bit of rust, but only in predictable places, and the 97 has no rust and some super minor panel damages/scratches

thanx people!

Nope, the same all over the world and they are 1HZ

 

[Z()LTAN]

yeah what sco said

 

[Z()LTAN]

I just found a new 1HZ out of a 06 100 series, has 12k on the clock

That takes $5k out of my budget

Im taking the body off this weekend and going to get all the parts needed for the chassis mods.

So far things to do.

* Get body off to have minor panel work and respray
* 2" lifted tuff dog springs
* buy or make 2" extended hangers
* buy superior drop shackles
* buy rancho or Tuff dog shokies
* Make shock hoops
* Cut and rotate front diff
* high steer kit
* 4.88 ratios
* Air locker front and rear
* Buy 37x13.5x15 Procomp Xtreme trekkers with 10" offset rims
* 3" wheel spacers
* Put body back on with 3" body lift
* refit dash and looms
* Gauges and boost controller
* Sound system
* Cb radio
* Install new engine with denco and garret T3 highflowed setup
* Snorkel
* Custom air intake with pod and water tight box
* Make sliders and Tube tray with s/s checker plate top
* Custom endless air setup for lockers and tyres


im sure there will be more, but thats a start

 

[roscoFJ73]

How bout some pics of the 100

 

[Z()LTAN]

lol there wasn't much to see.. the engine was the better part of a twisted metal chassis and flattened cabin...

No joke.. the people in the car must have died...

 

[Tapage]

3" wheel spacers .. are not much . ?

And 18 PSI .. I like it !

 

[Z()LTAN]

you cant get more that 3" commercially, you could make bigger but why? after putting 37x15x15 tyres on 15x10 with 3" offset rims and 3" spacers, you have over 12 inches of more width right there

 

[Kon]

if your only going to run 37s why bother with the 3" body?

7" soa + 3" springs + 3" body + 2" shackles + 2" hangers + 2" shackle reversal

thats ~19" of lift, you could clear 44s and still have full articulation with no scrubbing!!!
