GQ's were the first with coils, but from memory your looking for a ute. im preety sure it was after 92 that the utes got coils, but i think that was only on the front. the rear coil utes were later i think

thanx for that do u know when normal patrols came with them i was looking at doing a chop would this be a wise choice for price and qualtity.
was looking at ludacrises some thing like that.

any sudestions would be good.

the GQ's were the first on coils, wagons from 88 on i think???? the chop is a good idea, i was gonna do it into a duel cab ute. but after looking at that unless you want to extend the chassis, just stick with your extra cab idea. that will be my next truck i reckon. are you gonna do the chop yasef?

if there was a guide to do it i would maybe try as im only 16 i dont have much of an idea.
i would realy like to know how hard it would be and if i could do it.
and as im on a buget i would like to know how much it would cost and stuff like that, so if any one has ANY info could u plz post it up for me to look at.

check them out, there at brendale. i went and looked at there work when i was considering it. but if ya only 16, i assume you dont have much coin yet.........so if ya look at there site, sit down b4 you look at pricing

if you do want to do it, i recomend getting real chummy with someone who would be able to do it at home

ludacris did his himself, im preety sure he has pics of it in his members thread. and theres heaps of ppl here who have done it. giantracing was selling his extra cab GQ, cab only. im not sure if its sold yet. and even if ya cant afford it now, get a wagon then drive it and when the rear gets damaged.........just chop it off
