Tub compatability

Will a post 97 Lux Tub fit on a 90 Lux bum?

I dont think so, as the shape would have changed. With a friends Lux (I think he had a 1991 model) we got a 1996 tub or similar and the wheel arch at the rear was different and the mounting holes did not line up exactly.

As you have a Sinlgle Cab, It may be ok. You would have to put it on to see though, as they all vary in widths etc.

It may fit but look out of place etc...

Nope they are totaly different body lines and i think they also mount in different places. It will fit with modifications but wont look right.

I had one of these on mine and they are no where near right if you want to run anything bigger than a 31inch tyre you need to cut the rear arch.
They bolt on to a 2wd one fine though.Also not one single bolt hole lines up.

I think the stoner has a single cab, I know the probs with fitting one on a dual cab as I have tried it before, (in relation to the wheel arch)

Would a single cab be different?

I am told it will bolt up and clearance will be fine but there will be a 60mm gap between the cab and tub. No drama. Might show up at Toolangi this weekend.....
