My favioute Lux at the moment.

This is a mate of mine's car in the states, David Chappelle is the owner builder, from Chappelle Customs and exhaust, it was built for the 2012 Ultimate adventure.

2wd 70's model hilux, converted to 4wd, running lux gear, 22r engine on airbags . Very capable lux, drive well at speed and also crawls, I plan on trying to steal this of Dave at KOH 2013 to go have a play, he also owns a very nice Izuzu MU on Dana 60s too, which you might have seen in the 2011 Ultimate adventure if you watch it that is. We got daves stock zook to the waterfall on backdoor last yr.. funniest night ever.

Engine specs?
How does it go?

Er, bugger, this thread suddenlky took off.

It goes well and has been built to handle about 18 to 20 psi, but I will get the specs, certainly get the best of both worlds though, V8 grunt down low and ricer boost up high :armsup:

Hey ! That looks familiar :D

94 extra cab
Sas'ed using 105 series housing with 79 series brakes
Coiled rear using 105 series stuff again
112 inch wheelbase
Hydraulic bumps (haven't done the shocks yet)
79 series front coils front and rear
1 UZFE
Soon to be a442 auto
79 series transfer

The mish mash of landcruiser stuff keeps the engineer happy and it will be rego'ed on 35's. Still need to do the tray and fuel tank


When I get to a proper computer I'll post in the members section with more pic's
