Outer Limits 4x4 Board

gday good ppl well we have the sons project home and need to swap over cabs, do you have to remove engine/box etc to get cab off, many thanks for help, wheres a good place to get aftermarket gear for luxes pls many thanks once again....

ps anyone up near gympie at all with experience with luxy stuff

hi mate,

engine and gear box can stay on the chassis and just lifdt the cab over the top.

you will need to unplug and lable all your wiring looms, wrap them around the engine out of the way, disconnect the brake master cylinder from booster. disconnect and remove radiator, disconnect steering arm etc

there will be wiring under the cab as well coming out of the floor.

if you pull off all the other panels its lots lighter to lift off.

then bolt a 2 x 4 to the front body mounts, and another at the back and just lift it off.

note if seats etc are still in it they all add weight.

its not too bad a job.

2 strong people can lift a bare cab. with glass in still.. add dash and seats and doors and you need 3 and its a struggle.

if using a lifting device. disconnect anything you can see or easily get too, then when the cab is lifted off the chissis, start looking for anything else still attached. there will be something. im pretty sure there is a wire or 2 going to the gearbox under the cab which isnt easy to see with the body on.

many thanks for al that....so far so good the boy (and dad) are learning heaps lol
