I'm thinking about getting my 75 series ute converted to a extra cab. Maybe making the cab 300 or 400mm longer. A shorter tray I can live with but I need more leg space and some extra storage behind the seats would be nice.
Has anybody here done this and who would be the best to do this conversion in or near
Brisbane.
cheers
Reiner

Reiner, I bought an already modified Extra Cab ute a couple of years ago and then built a canopy for the back. It was very handy to be able to have my 60L fridge behind the seats and be able to lock valuables up. I think there is a photo in my profile of the rig at
Tilpa.
These things pop up fairly regularly over the west - typically ex
mine or commercial vehicles though. Unless you REALLY love your current cruiser the cost to mod it would (in my opinion) not be worth it. When I sold
mine to buy the wagon I really didn't get any extra money for it than what a standard ute was worth. I thing you'll find the cost will be around the $10K mark too.
Anyway best of luck.

Thanks Hughesy, I was thinking along your lines that it might be cheaper to change Ute's. The problem is that I have spend a lot of time and about $5,000 to get it in pretty good shape for a 95mod . It needs a new tray anyway and I do need more leg-room. I get some real prices and do the numbers but a extra cab would be perfect.
Thanks for your thoughts
Cheers
Reiner
