Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I was wondering if some one can help me i have a lj80 soft top and it is damaged and wondering if there is an other body that will fit on the the lj 80 frame.cheers mick

pleaaaaseeeee put a mini on it!?

i know the mini fits on the sierra chassis, im sure itll fit on LJ... have a monster mini =P

any thing can be posible but i need as much help as a can get what type of mini and year model i was thinking of a california moke but open to ideas

like this mini

guys that is unreal never seen any thing like that sorry to get excited im from the central and dont see this much any more ideas and is it a easy conversion,

how about an ac cobra replica?

will any other model suzi's fit an lj 80 chasis

would a drover body fit

what year models would fit suzi or drover

theres chassis diagrams of the sierras on the net, have a bit of a look around, maybe you can compare the diag's to the chassis you have now and tell US the answer. why not just get another lj body? or even get a complete sierra..

this may help?

I believe the sierra body is wider than the LJ.
Some people fit LJ bodies to Sierras, because the are much narrower.
Any thing can be done with lots of money, or time, or effort, or all 3.

There doesn't seem to be any practical way to get a sierra body onto a lj chassis. I'm sure it is possible, just more work than it would be worth. I woulld just try and find another LJ tub to swap if it was me.

PS I hate freaks (car body on 4Xchassis) evey one I have ever seen has been hack, and less useful than the original car in both cases. Most cars have very little "drop" in the centre of the chassis - i.e they are very flat front to back so the car body ends up very high on the chassis.- bad for CoG. Also, monocoque car bodies are far heavier than you need if you have a separate chassis so the end result is a much heavier car than original - again pretty dumb.

From a design viewpoint, most cars have much smaller doors, "fast" windscreens (laid back) and lots of other details that make them less useful as 4X4's - poorer visiblity, more complex to repair etc.

this may not mater due to the early year of manufacture of the lj 80 but when i cheked out the legalitys of a body swap with a WA pits i was told that the new body must meet the regs for the chassys year of manufacture e.g. all those little safty requierments that change every year. thing like seatbelt mounts and position of indicators (maby even emisions control laws) but agen this is for WA and this only apliyes if u tell mister plod.
