Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey, anyone know roughly what is should cost to have a GQ wagon cut into an extra cab ute? been quoted 7500 bucks. i seriously want to do it but not for that price. cheers.

my mate got his 100 or 80 seris choped into a four door and with his custom tray all up cost him 15000 so thats probly about right from what my mate reported
Cheers Bourkey

Where are ya?

Sandy Bowman @ Aus 4WD Specialists, Bayswater, Vic

and

Greg Smith @ Smithy's Outback Gear, Cranbourne, Vic (bundyrum4x4)

are both cheaper than $7500. sorry don't have ph.nos handy but will find on this forum.

i thought $7500 was a bit rich, thats without a tray. oh, i'm in brissy by the way.

Give Dale a call at 2Dextreme on 0407837074. He has done many chops (including mine) and makes custom barowrk to suit. I am sure he will come in under that quote.

He is on the southside of Brisbane as well.

cheers mate, i'll give him a buzz

Call chris @ Giantracing,
0438 279 890.
He has a post 2 pages back on his work,looks the goods

They used to be called Rust Rite at Brendale, they did my dual cab around 8 years ago as a prototype and I brought it off them. They are still there AFAIK, under a different name, doing coversions fulltime.

gaint racing quoted bout $3000 in one thread, without tray.

The price can vary from 4wd to 4wd even if there both GQs. If you 4wd is a 2 tone or painted burgandy red pearl it's going to cost a good $1500 more than what a white patrol would cost. You find you get what you pay for in this sort of trade and anyone quoting under $5000 for that sort of job I wouldn't let near my 4wd.

A cheap quote usually means lots more bog and shitty door gaps. Another thing to ask is engineering the 4wd after its done included in the quote? If not take it to someone who do the whole job from start to finish including the engineering.

Cheers Mick.

cheers for all the replies fellas, all points will be taken into account. I definately agree that cheaper isn't always better but i just don't wanna get stung is all. looks like i've got some ringing around to do. thanks heaps.

I got a few pics of my dual cab on my site no closeups or build pics, cause it was done before I brought it, but I might be able to get you some closups of inside etc but mine has carpet trim glued over it, PM me if you have any questions.
