I would like to do a fairly hardcore dual cab chop and would like to know if any of the early GU's were built without airbags. If any one has had any experience with putting a non airbag body on an airbag chassis and getting it all engineered legitimately your input as to process would be appreciated!
Thanks all.

my 98 DX has no airbags, you wanna buy it. Do you good price, morning price
Why don't you want airbags? Haven't heard of anyone setting them off 4wding in a GU.
Also as you are in QLD you may want to look into what you can and can't do before you start modding away as from all reports you can't do much

I rang every engineer (in VIC) and no one would sign off on a body lift in my GU as i had a drivers airbag.
But in hind site, the car doesn't need a body lift. It can run 35's without it.

Thanks for the replys.
I don't want airbags as it will be used in comps as well.
Should I ask what sort of condition it's in Gimbo?
The powers that be (ie the RTA and QT) obviously don't talk to each other as the genius' have sent me the paperwork in Brisbane to say it's ok to have a 2" body lift in an airbag GU. It still needs to go over the pits to be legal and I'm just not that brave given what else is on it. And you're spot on, they won't let you do much at all.

For comps, can you just pull a fuse to disable the airbag?
