Hi Guys,

many people done the SWB mq/MK chop. I'm so keen to do it. Here's some pics of one I saw at this years tuff truck, he wasn't competing although I did see him eat up one mud run.

The chop is pretty bodgy, just the way I like it... not to sure about the tray, i recon I could do better... the 44's top the truck off and I believe make it worthy of entering the tuff truck.

enjoy

yeh flamming cooky boys MK has been in a fwe comps prior....

its very bodgy, and he knows it, i spoke to him for a few mins at TTC.

but it works for wat he wants....... its un engineered of course also.

I decided not to go the chop, and put a single cab ute body on mine, far neater, and enclosed back as i cant have it open where i live ;)

pics to come in a new members thread soon ;)

Are the rear leaf springs of this beast turned, the short part of the spring to the rear and the longer part of the spring to the front of the vehicle?
How is the rest of the truck, engine, axles,...?

This rig i believe if i was looking properly, does have flipped rear leaves.

It also runs a 253 V8 i think, and runs 4 or 5 speed manuel standard box, cant remember which, it also has MQ diffs still that are twin locked.
it runs reverse shackle setup in the front as well.....
The way he did it was massively simple but wont work as well as anything thats done properly with mounts and dropped crossmember etc......
