I ment some one haven balls to do something differant every day u see
a V8 patrol or fj40/60ser or vitara powered sierra. But where do u see rocky's mod. and at that not a holden v8 a alloy motor.
my idea was to have the patrol's strenght but in a tiny body and not to
heavy. i was origanally planen coilover sierra gq diffs 3L turbo 300zx
but engieer needed to much work. And i just happened 2 be driven rocky
at time so i ask about it all was good.... so ummmm .. bugga....

its good to see so many rockys getting built at the moment, maybe the dumbshits at daihatsu will realise they are worth makin parts for (
i wish). it just sucks that to make it any good everything needs to be taken out and replaced with other brand parts because daihatsu has no aftermarket support.

Did you use a MARKS ADAPTORS gearbox/transfer adaptor or make it yourself?
Does anybody know of an easy fit transfer to this gearbox or gear box/transfer to the LEXUS V8, prefer auto? looking at using one in a project

by evanstaniland
as far as i know Marks dont do any types of adedaptors for motors besides holden or chev
Evan..

dellow auto do alot of stuff, and i think marks might do an adaptor for the lexus V8 as common use and demand are the key to a good bussiness. look in the toyota section for transfers.
