Outer Limits 4x4 Board

is there somewhere i can go to get various styles and pics and info on the chopped gqs, ive got a lwb and am looking into chopping it to an extra cab sort of thing and im just wondering if anyones got pics on the rear sections on how theyre done,

I have had a good look at one being done and it really isn't that hard, just building up the balls to chop into it is the hard part for me!

Easy to build up the balls to cut it.

Go lay it over into a tree.

Ive got a whole swag of photos of the GQ i chopped at home, I'll email you a couple. there isnt many obtacles to over come it just depends how padantic your gona be. there are a few shortcuts that i took that do the job just fine that the pro's would have a go at but its good enough for me and it passed inspection no probs.

Im almost done with mine. Ill stick up some shots

Here is the buildup thread of mine being done.

We still have to do the bar work on the rear, the exo and the suspension though.

Cheers Mick.

yeah mick mate hi,
i had a great look at your rig on tuff truck weekend and i have been studying all your buildup pics and writing, but i reckon it will be a little different as i will prob have it about 1.5-2 foot shorter

Would love to but have no idea how to, used to be able to post photos on this site but someone f*#ked it up. So can only email them or could mail you a cd of the whole process. It wasnt hard at all just a little time consuming.

cheers Geoff

i did mine 4 years ago. It is defiantly one of the easier mods to do, just a little time consuming. cost me $1500 inc full 2k respray and tray. Mq ute back, used the rear door skins for sheetmetal, etc. It was the first thing i welded with a mig to be honest. It is quicker to just do it rather than debate it etc, once its cut you will have to finish it. Mine was one of the first home jobs getting around.

I must admitt my cut was inspired by BRU's, although it was different, its sporting his old bull bar now. Mine cost about 3500 but that was 2500 at the paint shop as we got the whole car painted, well what was left of it. I bought a tray 2nd hand outter the trading post for 100 bucks and cut it down to 1800 square which got painted at the shop in the same colour as the car. I didnt atempt to paint myself as we wanted it to look good as it is my wifes daily driver.
