in a word yes, loads, that truck ended up as a tray back with the rear axle moved back around four ish inches which involved moving the panhard rod mount and spring mounts back, which was a big job.. then the body mods on top to make it a cab.
personally I want a shorty gq to modify but few and far between now it would seem.. I will sort some pics anything specific?

Some really nice trucks, love the idea of the draws and sockets in the back of the black trol. Like your current trol too.
Was that Oz or NZ when you had the other trucks?

all the trucks were in nz and built in my workshop.. spent a bit of time in oz with friends, they had big lift lwb patrol tourers.
sockets in the back were handy for running random stuff. actually fitted a compressor in the open compartment to run lockers and tyre inflator etc...

heavy duty rear barwork with swing away wheel carrier used a trailer hub and axle, removed rear overhang bodywork to give better departure angles.

Nice one cheers. Any more shots of the exo cage bit ?
Winch bumper looks a good job too :thumb2

Got any more of the wheel carrier?
Thinking of getting the local blacksmith to fab me up something to bolt to the big captive nuts left in the end of the chassis rail after I removed the bumper, not keen on having the weight of a 33" tyre and steel on the barn door.
Will have a look. Big tyres crack the doors on the y61 and buggers the hinges.

Cheers bud, that's exactly why I'm wanting to fit a swing away! :thumbs

I am going to start making a rear bumper with swing away wheel carrier shortly for my Y61 some sort of cross between arb and kaymar, I am just in the process of re rustproofing the underside of the trol at the moment, looks like it was dinitroled from new as the paint is still on a lot of the chassis and floor when I scrape the coating off so I am using dinitrol again £128 for a full large car kit which includes cavity wax. When I make the bumper I will make templates so it can be reproduced, I don't really like the look of tubular bars on Y61's...
Will put up some pics of the rust proofing process as I go...
Nice work. Do you know of anyone in the area that can fab a front winch bumper up. The cost of an arb one and similar is shocking?

To be honest having been out of the country for nearly 10 years I don't really know anyone locally who can build you one, I don't get enough time to offer to help otherwise I would.. I will be making a front winch bumper and will make templates.. Possibly moving back to NZ in around 8 months if everything falls into place so if I get templates made you can have them
Arb are expensive all over the world and when you see the factory you realise why, its enormous and state of the art, they do a budget basic range in oz and NZ for farm/mining type vehicles but a bit ugly with no frills but cheaper.
Try these guys, not local though.
Worldofbumpers4x4.co.uk
Or try r and c they do fab work.
Worth a go.
Are you going for a play at avon dassett tomorrow??
Hi Mate
What you after for the Discovery?

I wish i was going to avon dasset but i work a weekend shift so working tomorrow im afraid. The hills should be passable with the dry weather but still easy enough to damage the truck. Have fun...
Sorry for cheap plug but my disco could be for sale, thinking about it anyway...
https://youtu.be/xTko9yC0dvc
The disco and rangey would look good together lol :p
Need to do some lanes if you fancy it. Might go out Tuesday night for a bit

Been reading your build thread, can't post there yet as I'm not a full member, epic mate. Wish I lived closer I would be round to help with the build.. What lift are you putting in 3"?? If you can get EFS springs and shocks they are awesome and suit the patrol perfectly, if you do go 3" the rear lower arms could do with being 18mm longer to square up the rear axle....sorry I just get all excited about patrols you probably have done your own research....

Evenings is a bit of a push for me as I work longer days so I can have Friday's off.. I have a mate who knows his lanes and has memory map he is keen in a week or so as he is away at the mo..

Thanks, Could do with the help sometimes.
Not sure on susp lift, But going to try and keep it as low as possible so will try and cut metal away if possible. Maybe 2" max as it's already had a 2" body lift. Seems to be a big money pit right now and decent susp is expensive!
