Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok guys,
I have got a set of rear hilux spings sitting at home and I had a look at them. If I fit them up they should move the rear diff back about 7-8 inches from the look of it. I will use a 3/4 setup at the rear because the chasiss just isn't long enough. my question is Has anyone run these springs with the tub on the back or do you all do a ute conversion? It just looks like alot of cutting to clear the tyres. Also what do you do for a drive shaft for the rear? Will I have to go custom?

Cheers
Paul

there was one in the club who cut his guards with this setup of 3/4 with lux springs.

If it's a road driven car it would probably look more legal with a tray.

I think that bigsteve has some better pics.

I see what you mean

I think that we might try the hilux fronts in the rear for a start and then later go to the rears. I don't want to get too far ahead of my ability with this thing because it will only end in tears.

The kitchen aint being neglected



































We did it on the kitchen bench last night

whats this i hear. Haven't you learnt thats what makes kids. must be a slow learner or a glutton for punishment.

Back to the hilux spring thing. I will be fitting the hilux front this weekend to the rear because it is going to take alot of chopping to clear the tyres if I put the rear springs in with 3/4 setup.

Cheers
Paul

I will post up pics of it on the weekend.
