Lancruiser Ute

yea, how to turn a breadbox into a cutting board

thanks, but I probably should have been clearer with my original question. I have a HZJ75 which I would like to turn into a dual cab in order to cope with my rapidly expanding family. I could just go and buy a dual cab but I have a reliable vehicle already and if it is finacially viable would like to modify it. I like the look of what you have done but I think it's a bit out of my reach financially. Thanks for your response though.

hi mudgee,

chat to Al anyway, he bought the LC100 for the same reason, he had a ford xr8, but 2 kids and him just didn't fit in, so his option was to get a LC and cut it, as he wasn't comfortable enough in other dual cabs. He is keen to cut other models, and is working on a prices.

if you want to speak to him, email us at grierson@hotkey.net.au, and I'll give you his mobile number.

cheers

Bench seat conversion $300

but what about the wife??????

Theres a collar and chain in the back, you never seen that before?

Mudgee,

Justanother thing to be wary of before you getthe gas axe taken to it. I have an "extra cab" 75 series ute and I found that all bar the specialist 4wd insurance mobs, wouldn't touch it because it had been modified. The main insurnace companies only like stock vehicles. In the end I'm happy I found the insurance mob I'm with cause I have other new found benefits.

The other thing is the conversions are expensive and don't expect to get any where near your money back if you sell it one day. You will get more than a standard ute but not much.

Be wary of any second hand ones already converted, because as Davoe said most probably started life in a mine (they're the only ones who can afford to convert them). Good luck though.

Cheers,
Hughesy
