Does anyone know the company in
Perth or anywhere that does this conversion.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers Steve.

G'day Steve
Arkana used to make those bodies.
You might try Amez. Do a Google on them. They used to be big in the real Outback Tour scene but these days they do vehicle conversions. I tried Googling them but couldnt find the right connection. There is a Laingly mob in
Perth converting Canters into 13 seaters.
Cheers

Hey Willem.
Just to clarify, Adventure tours Australia had a troopy extended to a 6 wheel with 9 forward seats.
The Arkana is not suitable for the work I will put it through, As for the Canters my opposition just had there,s break in half again, Thanks for the reply as this Laingly mob may know someone that can help.
Cheers Steve.

Steve, Give Kevin a ring at Able Tours, He does excellent bodies for all the 4wd tour companies mainly on Isuzu chassis. May be another option??? They are based in Bayswater,
Perth.
Regards
Jason

Steve, I have a mate who has just sold a late model Cruiser about the same size, but he had a heavy duty diff put in to comply with the load carrying specs.
Is that why you want a 6 wheeler.
I can get more info for you if you want.

Hi Dave,
Silly question....why does changing the Diff make it comply with load carrying specs? I would have thought
suspension changes etc would be required? Do the 11 seater versions have this HD diff?

(genuinely curious)

As far as I know the load carrying capacity of the troopy does not comply with the regs if you put 9 passengers and luggage in the back..
I think my mate got a diff from a F250 or Suburban, not sure which one.
