Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Guys,

was down at TumbaRumba for work the other day and saw this MQ on the side of the road, jumped out and took a coupla pics.

its stock in every form....

But they have grabed a canopy choped it into 2 halves and glued it together as a ute somehow.....

I have a coupla pics i got from my phone, THEY ARE SMALL PICS...... sorry for this, but u get the idea.

cheap ute conversion.
wat do u guys think?

screwy

The pics do work and are there......

just the little thumbnail dont work....

i think its a prob with OL cause i had all this computer jargon up the top of the screen when i uploaded them

that wouldnt be hard at all, it seems pretty easy if you ask me, thou, a bit of work is involved.

yeh not bad idea if u wanted a ute out of a shorty

just cut canopy to desired xtra cab length required

yeh just thought id post up a new idea

Another idea to add to the collection.

Screwy, Carts and Dumbdunce saw our old MQ on the side of the road in windsor yesterday... it had a red defect label on it. It was good while she lasted

Fark

Your kidding

i wonder wat they could of picked on..... maybe no mudflaps or flares not big enough or something like that.... cause it was pretty stock.... Did it have body lift? i cant remember now.... that may have been it.
i doubt the defect will be serious.... maybe tyres... they were balled when i sold her.

the bugger for the owner is that now that it has been defected.... they wont get it cleared cause of the amount of rust in the underbody sill panels that i only saw the day before sale

as if you care, its not your prob now

that looks cool, i wish i had of kept my shorty now......did you see how they closed in the "tub" section from the cab??

I've seen 2 rigs in Geelong that were converted this way...simple and dirt cheap too.

It also allows for high backed seats to work in a "ute" style cab, unlike the actual ute cab that is a tad tight for high backed seats....Jeff will find this out when he goes to fit the recaros into the ute cab

Kingy

p/s
Theres a LWB patrol south from here ....pale bluey/green in color and has the words
" Shitbox 4x4 club " across the windscreen... the rear has been cut off and a tray mounted in that area but the rig has maintained the 4 door side of things...... interesting concept and not a bad job either.

I'll try n get some pics next time I'm down that way.

There's a bloke up here in Newcastle with something similar. Except I don't think there's two bits of the canopy left, just the back part, including the window, chopped off and fixed to the back of the cab. Then the "ute" back is chequer-plated and the gap under the rear window boarded up.

It's usually parked not far from where I live. Maybe I could snag a photo one day...

Looks pretty good, thinking of doing similar with my zook when the fiberglass cracks through.

there is a white mq kickin around with the canopy chopped down like that & it looks sweet as its all white

Yeh he had a big as metal tool box thing the perfect size for it under the bottom of the canopy that opens etc and the sides above the wheel arches are boarded up......

yeah - my bro did this conversion.

chopped the canopy off about 8 inches back.
fitted a sheet steel rear wall in
bolted the sheet to the old canopy
Got the whole lot painted up in body colour.

got some alloy bent up to fill in the sides of tray (has since put small recessed boxes in these)

bolted spare wheel to back RHS of tray (inside tub)

He loves it - says my GQ ute is too long !!
