LC 100 Convert.........Is it posible?

Yeh, 04' GXL TD would be the vehical.
ABS is crap offroad ay? Whys that mate? I spose a part time rocker switch for the ABS would be possible too?

Have you seen it done before?
It just looks to me that the rear wheel archs would have to be cut off before they end to get a tray on and that would look a like a packa poo tickects. Know what I mean. I could be wrong thinking that? not sure.

Cheers for that though mate. At least I know it can be done. Just worried about how it'll look now.

It can, and is done, if you search the net there is a company in qld who do this type of conversion starting at about 7k.

And ABS is not an issue on toyota at least offroad, as it changes the ABS pattern when centre difflock is locked, and cancels the ABS when low range is selected.

I find the ABS on my toyota vehicle very good, in ice, snow, mud etc, where you should have the centre difflock locked anyway, it is very difficult to make the foot massage of the ABS over ride your normal braking.

The IFS vehicles dont seem to suffer the issues live axle vehicles do over corrogations with ABS either, as one wheel bouncing isnt having a direct effect on the other with IFS.

GO OFFROAD,
Cheers. Just got onto rustrite.com site in QLD and it looks like a goa. There are some nice looking LC 100 conversions there. Thanks for the info on the ABS in the Toyo's too. I'm ordering the Cruiser next week and Im goin the metalic gold paint and color coding an ARB delux IFS bar and steel tray. Going a Warn, Air Lockers,OME LTR shockys n coils, Safari snorkle, Perfomance computer, IPF driving lights, IBS system. Can't bloody wait! I'm ready to go bush in me new beast now .....lol.

Thanks again!

Good site by the way. A wealth of info here.

Alex,
great to hear you are getting what you want, will be a great set up when completed and an excellent travel vehicle.

Dont forget this thread will be just text without pics 8-))))))))))))

The tray section will be very small in a 100 dual cab ute..
what are you intending on carrying?

Personaly I think the current Yota cruiser Utes look horn where a cut down breadbox could look average, and then come with sod all cargo space.

I'll post some pics for yas for sure but I'll say the wait'll be around 8-9weeks + for the vehical to get in and for the mods etc to be made.

The tray'll be 1450mm long 1980mm wide. Big enough for me. I read on the rustright site that you can get a chassis extention by 750mm that would allow for a 2100mm long 1980mm wide tray but it wouldn't be as sure footed in the bush. Take a look at the site. Good stuff.

As Truckster said a lot of dollars.
But jeez they look good don't they.

I have read several stories on the forum about guys getting teary eyed just drilling a hole in the guard for a snorkel let alone cutting the whole rear end off the body a new 100 series!!! The guys in that workshop must really enjoy their work!

Steven

we had a hzj 75 with full size back seats and a full size tray for work(chasis ext) and it caused no end of greif with running gear - being thrashed on the mine mightnt have helped but i wouldnt recomend a stretched jobbie

Bob, a piccy would be great mate. If ya could shoot one to KerrieC1@bigpond.com.au it would be appreciated.
Not gunna go a chassis extension......spose to be crap off road and I'd belive it Davoe........it's not for me.

Cruiser gets in on the 12th of may and conversion should take 4 weeks then 2 days in ARB Southside at Brissy and then I'll have some pics to post :-)

Still lots of desisions to make! So be ready to bear with me on some future qestions from a 4x4 ilitarate ;-)

Ave'a good one.
