Got a coil sprung patrol that I'm putting under my mu but I'd like to go for a mini ute. Was thinking about cutting my shell into a space can sort of layout but a bit hesitant.. Big difference in room between the mu wagon and ute....
Keep me updated mate, will watch on keenly uea mate a huge difference with space thats why i am making storage into the tray etc and yea just the single cab as long as you get the matching models between the mu and rodeo the only difference is the back window and roofliner wiring,body and interior are all the same and the rodeo altho it comes with a bench seat has the mounts that fit the mu single seat rails

[isuzurob]

I was going to just go leaf sprung as i have a complete front end but have found a prado complete front end now so will proberly use that along with all the hilux steering, have a hi pinion diff head, am getting a new transfer case flange made by family friend with hilux bolt pattern so i can use hilux front drive shaft for more angle as isuzu crosses are crap

[dalebroughton]

true thats not a silly idea either have you looked into what you are going to do with your gearbox crossmember to get it to clear?

[isuzurob]

The cross member will clear the drive shaft, everyone modifys the g-box cross member when they use leaves in the front as the rear hangers hit it on full flex

[dalebroughton]

ah another usefull peice of information cheers

[isuzurob]

I got lots of ideas but like i said wont do a write up until its fully built and tested to the limits in every way, so people have the correct information
