Hi all Just looking at my options . Whats a 2nd hand pod worth ? I have come from a space cab .. I am so missing it .. has anyone space cabed there Ute . and extended the chassis ?
thinking another foot in the middle of the wheels would make it better

Hope I have this right but Biggs enterprises [qld] do chassis extensions and body chops.
Google Ron Moon and check out his GU

A dual cab chop with a custom tray is. Not really a pod as such. I doubt it will ever happen though unless I find a wreck to sway everything over. I haven't really looked into the costs of getting it professionally done, but i dare say it would be a 5 figure amount. So it will just remain a wish for me I reckon.

Tip12345 received a reply from my contacts in Canberra and they know of no one that does this
type of work in the Canberra area.

I had one on a mk it was ok didn't notice any difference off road rode a little better on road looked pretty good. I just got a gu ute and i do miss the space cab cause i can still get all the same shit in the cab as the old one.i couldn't justify the cost again

G'day Tip12345 mate!
Pic below of my 1999 GU ute 'Extra Cab'

Was done brilliantly by 'Laingley-WA' before our time together :-) Something like $10k+ minimum I believe drive in/drop off or may I suggest buy one already done for you ;-)

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1157200866 Quick gumtree search: It's a dual cab 4.5L petrol auto mate that could be a fun project truck. Did notice my 'Laigley' extra cab is much more rounded at the ute chop but maybe this flat looking wagon chop is how they were back then, unsure?
EDIT: 'Laingley'
