Hi, did this v8 conversion ever get finished? Ta

Watching with interest !

Ben , I have only ever heard bad things about trail gear, very noisy when fitted and have a habit of braking the r and p's in reverse under load, look up a company called nitro, they cost the same as trail gear but have far greater feed back. Hope this helps and good luck with the move, I would...

I stand corrected , I just would of thought it would be the other way round as that is the general rule of thumb ! Hats off to you for proving it! :icon-cool::clap:

it must do..... a auto would be worse on fuel

They are awsome , I like the red one with the rear cover , still retains the rear seats to :icon-cool:

Its a shame that Toyota never made any to sell in the uk market, I really think they would of sold well, there are tones of pick up/ crew cabs on the road, If I was to do the conversion I would try and aim for something in between the pick up and crew cab :icon-cool:

good point, i am 6,2! would be nice to have a bit of storage behind seats

the top of the front wing looks like it has a hole in it for it maybe?

in a perfect world so it was usefull and good off the tarmac , would be to make the last 1ft of the tray unbolt so it had no over hang and then when back home , bolt it back on and i got a usefull truck again!

this is what i want............... i love it i want it and i really want it :icon-biggrin::dance: hhhhmmmmm just need my little one to finish pre school then that will free up a hole load of cash each month! ( fee have now risen to £1000 a month:cry:

is there any pictures of this ? i do like the tray backs but i was worried about sva test.......maybe i could pick up it first then once the log book is changed to a 2 door i could then get it cabbed with a tray back, would be better for rear winch to then?:think: ben, i know this is a very...

That look smart , also looks like its been bobbed a bit to?:think:

Oh and Ben....... That took the best part of 3 weeks of evenings reading the whole thread, the mrs was pleased when I got to the end as she said I might actually listen to what she was saying to me rather than the occasional " yes dear!" lol

Well I am glad other people are thinking along the same lines as me ,

Lol yes Ben both were me, for some strange reason I had issues relogging back on after they did some sort of update to this forum, I had to email admin to sort it out, didn't get a reply but I followed the on screen instrutions and it told me to reset my user name and password, I did this and...

Yes it is a bit of a grey area , but I am thinking that if it's changed on the log book and it's insured as a pick up , then hopefully I shouldn't have any problems as I think I have done what I can, Thie slee off road one I like a lot and if I am honest , that's the one that makes me want to...

Hi all, have been lurking on here for a while now and read most topics to do with 80's and bens epic build thread on his 70! Anyways am considering buying an 80 but it's got to be different, I only do different as I am no sheep lol Feed up with the land rovers so I am thinking about an 80 pick...

i had problems logging in asked me to reset my user name and password , so i did and then i had to log back on and then told me my new user name and pass word did not exist so i gave the odd ones a try and it let me in, so not to sure what that was about??:think:

hi all haven't posted in a while but remembered this build so i thought i would ask if this was ever finished or had any more progress chris

Think I will end up with the standard stuff for a while and see how it goes . It seems I had just got old habits stuck in my head , when having land rovers it more of a case you have to up rate or it's breaks but been asking about and this does not seem the case with Toyota.

Now that's an idea, didn't know you could do that!! 8-) 8-)

35's are really the biggest I want to go really, fed up with the proxy or and wanted a decent change. I know there are modded toyotas about but nowhere nere as many lr,s . The other thing thing is to decide is petrol or a weasel ? Thanks

Yes your right I don't own one but I am thinking that I might have seen the light :D And to be fair I've done a lot of comps so used to having to up grade..... And note the words having to...... So I don't really know much different. I am far from a crash and bash merchant I just like knowing...

Thanks for the replys ....... Now that's just annoying cos you can you can buy hardened stuff for the lamo rover and yet not worry about mileage to much , thats not fair in my eyes lol Will be honest and say I am still in two minds if to buy an 80 as I've been told parts are starting to get...

Evening all, was pointed in the direction of this forum after speaking to someone else and was told it was far better than some others...... So with t parts being expensive like cvs shafts etc is it poss to get hardened stuff like Ashcroft do for land rover? I know the cost at first would be...
