Chopping My Hilux

Post by bluethunder »

Hi Everyone,
I am looking at chopping my hilux. I personally like the idea, but others (such as my daughter) don't agree with me. I'm just wondering what you guys would think? We made this up quickly, it's not all in proportion and I am looking at having the tray a bit shorter then this one. But, what I'm asking you guys is do you like the main idea? And how hard would it be to do this? Anyone with any contacts for doing this sort of stuff, help would be much appreciated.

And this is what it looks like at the moment (with no tray)

Thanks
Mark

mate you wouldn't need to chop anything, looks like all your doing is pulling the tub off and getting a flat tray on. any metal fab guys should be able to do it, or there are alot of fellow outer guys onhere that would be able to make one, post up where abouts you are.
Is it beer o'clock yet??

It'll just be a unbolt and bolt on job if you can find a dropside style tray in your area.
Tray on that green one is tidy :)
plenty of parts on the bench

mate ya truck looks sweet already :cool:

but i must admit that tray on the green hilux does look hot there is a fair bit of time and effort gorne into it tho, it will be good to see it when it is finshed

even getting the tray to match the arch of the flair , even down too the cross brace parting to avoid the drivers vision , tie rails man thats a sick tray alot of detail done top job
