So any updates on this rig?

It's going to be interesting when it is finished.

Nothing ATM - funds have been diverted to a change in career. Hopefully in the new yearthere will be some action. Until then I will be doing a quickie fix ($1500 or so) so I can do a bit of driving.

one question why waste all this money on a kia when you could bye a gq and mod it for 10=12000 grand and then it will shit all over your kia just seems silly to start with somehting like a kia. But if you want bring it over one afternoon and ill drive up your bonnet and use your kia as an articulation ramp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why buy a $15K GQ and put a Chevy V8 + auto + twin Tcases + GU diffs under it?

Why Buy a $3K Sierra and put a Vitara engine + Rockhopper gears + HiLux diffs and ARB lockers in it?

Each to their own.....

The Kia has a body size that I like (bigger than a Vitara LWB but smaller than a GQ, with more interior room than a 4Runner). I decided to take the Kia body/chassis and fit easily sourced parts to it.

Update:

Bought tyres (2nd hand 35/11.5 ET's), front/rear diffs (rear factory locker), sourced a supply of engine/transmissions (VT Commo, for a little closer to the date), about to negotiate a tcase.

Need: Marks Adapter kit + fitting of rear shaft, rims, driveshafts. Hopefully all mechanical major purchases done by mid November. Front locker and 4.6 R&P's can wait.

Booked in for the Cheezy makeover in Feb '06.

Well, I can give you some pics of bits on a concrete floor, but I'm sure you know what 2 GQ diffs, 5 35" ET's , 5 rims, and a Hilux transfer case look like. I am in the "parts accumulation" stage at the moment.

The Job will be done By Cheezy next Feb (booked in already). I will be posting progress pics then...

As for pics now, it looks like any Kia Sportage with a 2" bodylift, 2.5" spring lift, with no outer bumpers, and running 31's...

All I know is that he sheared the pinion... Trying to drive really fast up that hill in two wheel drive. I laughed a bit then had sip of beer....

It is a fibreglass BullFrog body on an ole 40 shorty chassis... I believe Bullfrog is the name of the design you can buy these somewhere as for who/where ?? I don't know...

End of March (delayed due to work commitments during the Commonwealth Games)

Only have the engine to acquire, so if anyone has a VX or VY V6 for a half decent price ..........(need looms, ECU etc, everything to make it run as a "standalone" engine)

Ran out of funds at the moment, looking to mid year after tax return.

Not happy about it at all....................

Posted: **Tue May 02, 2006 3:52 pm**

I know the owner of the 'bullfrog'. I didn't know it was going yet though. He's a lazy prick.

Last time I saw that thing it was still in pieces and waiting for paint / engine to be finished.

I think he's got an early cruiser kicking around somewhere too

Don't know if he's a member though!
