Hi There,
Question......
Do Nissan make a dual cab?, with a reasonable 6-7ft rear bed?, OR is it time to do a 6wheel coversion and add the extra lenght/carry capcity?
How easy is this type of conversion? pricey?
Cheers for any thoughts guy's, think it may be a better bet than a 130 landy!

Tomic.
Fraser coast conversions do a dual cab. the only drawback is the rear axle rating, nissan say 2000kg max, that means 700kg load capacity in a standard wagon, if you ad the wieght of a tray and extra chassis minus the wieght of the body removed the carring capacity of the dual cab conversion would be about 300kg, if you then put a decent
water tank and a large tool box under the tray then you will be overloaded when you drop you camping gear in the back, that is possibly why nissan dont do one. The possible upgrading of the axle to the one used in the leaf sprung ute may be the answer, if you wanted the tray just to sleep in then the standard axle would be ok, I am very close to ordering one but cannot decide on which motor to use.

Good point, thanks, the landy is sounding better now! carry around 1.5-2tonne! I would guess.
