very cheap. LJ body next to nothing. LWB Sierra frame $500, MQ diffs $600 + welding, Vitara engine g/box & t/case $1500, sierra t/case $250, Hilux rear springs used $200, 36" swampers used $1200. TYou could build this for under $7 000. If you did all the work yourself




your alittle over the top on your pricing, MQ diffs are only worth $300 a pair, and hilux springs are only 90 a pair. i know you are only stating that it could be built for less than 7 but i think on the thight you could do it for less than 6.

I can't recall saying that :lol: . But for the money and strength I guess they are the best option. I am still running Zook diffs with 35's but i am gentle on them. :D

It wasn't that you asked too much I was just getting the impression from you that major mod wasn't the same as what I reckon a lot of people on here would class as major modification. That's all, just trying to point out the conflicting info.

It can become as major as needed, after all this one will be only a weekend rig so rego, engineering, whatever can go out the window if need be or maybe I am better off keeping it legit. I dunno??? That's why I'm gathering ideas and info now before I choose a ride. Sorry to take you neck off with that comment mate, was in a schocker of a mood yesty :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words:

would you really recommend one anthony???
LWB zook for sure. cut panels to fit tyres and thrash the crap out of it.


Ofcourse I would - If you want heavily modified and a good base to start with then FARKEN OATH I WOULD RECOMMEND ONE.

If you want a little sizuki thats cool to but the word USED WAS HEAVILY MODIFIED and a rangie with a tube shell and upgraded axles is heavily modified enoguh for me and it will work :lol: :armsup:


Or a sizuki with hilux axles and a new engine and new transfer case and a new transmision that will work to ow and also dont forget to tube it and extend the wheelbase :D

by the looks of the results.

NISSAN owners didnt read the question.

it doesnt say 'which car do you like the best'

he wants a good cheap option.

i recon go the zook with lux axles.

would be alot easier to tow around than a heavy nissan.

why would you get rid of the zuk stuff?
the zuk tcase has got the most options out off em all with gearing
if he goes the lwb pushes the front forward 4 inches an the rear back 2 inches quite easily done he will be over the 100" mark :cool:
