Hey Jav Piglet hates you :D

That looks like a real baskit case. How was drive being delivered to the rear diff before? Or was it never finished? Looks like a parts rig to me.

Yeah i guess that works as long as you dont put it in low range :D You would then have double low in the rear and single in the front :D

They look like Daihatsu axles. So, if theres an auto locker in one diff, it has to be a Detriot. In that case, you have more than got you monies worth.
Personally, it looks too interesting to wreck. I would probably go the cab and tray option.

had a good look at it today, easiest way to do it is cut the chassie in front of back wheels and buy a complete ute and join it together.
Anyone got a ute for sale.

that would be about a 3.5 times more then what i paid for the car plus fuel to pick it up :shock: not a bad profit. naw , think i'll keep it.

I'm sure one of my mates has a locker in the back of his rocky he had fitted about 2 years ago. I'll ask him next time i see him.

Interesting in some ways - but ugly.

To get it on the road seems to be more work than I would want to tackle.

Still its "unique" in every sense of the word. Luck......
