    Default hilux chassis

    i have done a search but found nothing so its time to ask........
    does anyone have any pics/photos of hilux chassis as i am thinking of using one for a hot rod chassis but i need some pics of one before i commit myself (to a loony bin) to getting one and finding out that it is not suitable

    cheers in advance

    Well thats what I have heard they use. Plus I've heard of someone using a Mazda B1600 chassis. So I spouse it's up to the builder and the build

    Hey mate, have you got any info on the surf body conversion, eg where and how you shortened the chassis? do you have a build up somewhere?

    Yeah I may be able to help you out. I should put up a build up, so I can get some more Rep points.

    If you want to save yourself some hassles ive got one sitting in the garage gathering dust.
    its an early shape (YN60 i think) on a 2wd chassis, already professionally shortened and mounts transfered, custom ally tank etc

    PM me for more info if you want.

    Cheers
