Would you buy

[yoshie]

If a 3.0 2nd gen finished like this, trayback, full cage, 33" tyres, body and suspension lift. Probably doors still on and removable rear arch flares to keep legal. Although the doors could be made as windowless low half doors, came up for sale would anyone on here buy it and at what price?

That's an extreme off road toy!!

Slightly to far past "practical" to sneak it past the misses but if I were looking for a competition ready truck it would fit the bill!!

I'm planning an SAS after 2 diffs have failed :/

[yoshie]

SAS not worth the effort for a part time play day truck.

[shokenore]

Something that unique ?

I would like to think 5k ?


You could try funding it through a private raffle?

Bit rich for a 2nd gen although it would depend on the base truck price and what it had done.
I just fancy the idea of building a trayback but I don't really need one so would probably sell it on. Just trying to see if there is a market for such an extreme Surf.

[shokenore]

Sorry I was allowing for the SAS conversion, but I realise that it was probably the best photo you could find to show as an example.

Take off the sas and probably 3K+ would be a fairer price?
Probably?



PS vw sunburnt orange with the sas gets my vote

Like this but bigger

Hilux Pickup

That looks to be running a solid front axle not IFS. Is this a Hilux pickup that's been converted?

If this was over here in the UK I think £8k + dependant on spec & quality of build.

[yoshie]

To get the best out the Surf IFS and make it an affordable toy I suppose cutting the wings up and running 33" with only a body lift. This would keep the torsion bars nice and flexible to run +2" dampers. If a decent cheap 2nd gen appears around here I might build something like that once the pick up is painted.


Then sell it to a mud addict

[slobodan]

Would it be Scottish registered or English registered?

Hopefully Scottish.

I think the undecided will allow the fear to push them to vote no. However we can hope for a yes for the kids big fella.

[tashtego]

If you build it you might as well stick a V8 in it. I hear fuel will cost next to nothing in Caledonia after the 18th...

I have a pic, that is so NSFW with Alex positioned behind Nicola Sturgeon, and she is yelling YES YES YES with Alastair darling shaking his head going NOOOOOOOO.

Damm near PMSFL!
