Dirty Devil... replacing Dirty Frog...

Adz · 13-04-2011, 18:14

This is now my road & soft green laner

Once the Tax, Insurance & M.O.T. run out in May

Dirty Frog is going to be Tray Backed & rear winched

Then going down to VORSA for its SVA

Will Dirty Frog be the 1st Tray Backed Road Legal Nissan Terrano

So...

By the end of the year...

I'm hoping to have Dirty Frog road legal & used for Wales & Pay'n'Play day's / weekend's as it will be on 35's or 37's, Tray Backed, Rear Winched & caged

Dirty Devil will be sitting on 30's with an external snorkel & front winch

I will put all of the picys up here with the progress as & when

Looks like a tidy motor.

I'd be interested to see pics of the tray back build, proper oz style.

Go for it Adz, I dont know anything about them so education is appreciated

Whats the advantage of the tray backs? (other than no room for the kids)

that would do me

I've never really understood the benefits of the trayback either

Appart from obviously much lighter weight( which I think is a Disadvantage at the back) there would be more room for big tyres/articulation etc

BUT it's the front that's always the prob with these trucks.
I still think the best big mod would be to do a live front axle conversion

Keep the back on for traction weight and space for your sandwiches

is that a "tray back" or does that clock in as a pick up

In the lack of further info id tend to go with pete. You need somewhere to chuck odds and ends but there must be some advantage to them

i genuinely dont know.

I recognise that reg plate. Does it say where it was first registered?
