Do this





Going to sell my beloved 75 and buy a 105 and chop it.

A little confused wether to buy another 1hz or get the 1fz.
Is 100 better than 105 or visa versa......Help pls

105 = Live axle front
100 = IFS

why not a 4.2TD 79 series? they are MILES ahead of an old 75 in terms of comfort in the cab, especially if you get an RV spec.

Very True

But I can get one of these 105's for as little as 16k.
Wont get a 79 for that, maybe a wreck.

The 105 come with a bucket load of extras compared to the 79.
And I do love the 79ers.

the 1FZ will make you cry with its fuel consumption in a 105 series- I dont think i've ever heard of anyone getting below about 15L/100 in the things!

the 1HZ is sloooow (Im biased, i drive either a 4.5TDV8 or 4.2TD 79 series!)

15/100 aint that bad.
My dunnydore I use during the day chomps down 12.
Dont do a lot of Km's in the 75. Its done 8000 kms in 5 years, so fuel consumption doesnt bother me.

The only places I tend to go to when 4wd arnt to far away from here.
Takes 15 mins to hit the bush in any direction from Canberra..woo hoo.

I don't even get 600k's out of both tanks with my 1FZ.

OUCH

maybe get the 1hz version and turbo it the same as I did with the ute.

you must have a heavy right boot i have regurlarly got 750ks out of 100series petrols and i have driven many as my company cars they wont get the quoted 15l/100 more like 19 or 20l/100 145 litre fuel capacity in 2 tanks.

yeah purchase price is good.
but what about by the time you cut it into a ute and do all the bits?
engineering? insurance dramas? time you will miss while doing it?

Cutting, chopping, welding, fixing, making ,bending, brakeing, All up my Alley...
No problems there.

i just got a 1hz. it has a dts turbo running 15psi. it hauls, lots of low down grunt. keeps up with our 80 series 1fz with ease.

toyota should have made a 100 series ute.

I hz turbo's go well for a short time would not recommend it if many kms on the donk
best to get a factory turbo motor
strong gearbox and no precom chambers to crack the head for you

get a rolling 80 chassis and a 1hdfte put it in your 75 you will be way happier with the end truck

Eewww. I was about to offer some input when I saw that modified photo and threw up in my mouth a little. I hope you do a nicer blended canopy if you do go down that path.

But seriously whilst it would be a far more comfortable tourer than your current set up if you do only do so few k's a year it would be a long time in getting your moneys worth and if most trips are so close how much extra benefit is that extra comfort. Extended trips would make a difference to the thought process though. The 80 chassis under the ute makes a lot of sense cost wise.

Either way if you go ahead please think about doign it as a style side and makign it a bit classier. There are so few done that way and it's a shame.

Only problem with the styleside is the wheel arches. Not real good for my purpose.
Carrying alot of gear and sleeping in the back is a pain in the arse. The tray back is the best option. As for the longer trips this is something I plan on doing more of.

i really like style sides for how they look
but they cannot carry as much gear and i always dent them

I guess it is all a matter of opinion. All the stylesides that I have seen, I reckon they look crap.
If you love your 75 and its engine I would go the 80 chassis under it. I know someone who did it and he reckons it was every bit as comfy as his mates hundred as far as ride quality goes.
