Registry Post Pics Of Your Modded 7x Series (6 Viewers)

[AB10]

Been working on my truck the past few months. Finally got it to the point where I can drive it. 1999 Hzj75 fire truck converted to pickup. Still more to be done but as she sits for now. Recent work included 140L fuel tank, rear window panel install, rear seat delete, hood hole and cowel for upcoming turbo installation and Raptor liner paint job.

Such an awesome build… I love the truck. I am embarking on my own project soon. Bought a fire truck from Japan & now starting the import process to the US. Looking for someone who can help me do the fire truck conversion. I am based in Northern California. Any suggestions?

Do you have a build thread?

No sir

Nicey nice. Welded to the frame?
I like those Nitto tires. They look like the old school BFG Mud Terrains.

They are Nittos, 35x11.5r17, sliders bolt on but not with the typical ubolts.

Testing sliders we built.

79-series on 80-series chassis with a 1HDFTE pushing 30psi.

Details on front bumper? Looks great and haven't seen that design before.
And if the J80 frame horns are a bit wider than J79 would be, which chassis application bumper do you use for this combo?

TIA!

If only you had a local fabricator

I see what you did there…

My Cruiser will be sent off to Indy in a few days and I’ll be a couple months behind it.

Any chance you can make some up without the vehicle there?

Possibly. I have a customer with a BJ74 who might be interested as well, in which case I could use his truck as a jig

It might be a top secret one-off?

Yes totally one off. 80 frame, 79 body, custom height of body on frame.

Dayumm, very impressive one-off. Curious; how far off are the frame horns for an 80 vs a 79?

Enough where nothing bolts up. We have taken a 2008+ ARB front bumper made for a wide nose 76/78/79 and made it work on a 75-series sitting on an 80-series chassis but the mounting system is totally one off and custom made by us.

This looks like it would hold up better than the wooden one you started with....



Nice work Ian, always impressive the work you guys do at the shop!

So sick. So freaking sick. Well done.

Waiting on “special” rear flares for well over six months! Custom Cruisers require patience. Build like this takes time, sourcing a LHD dash and HVAC system has been challenging. Easier than finding wiring harnesses though!
