Legends is more or less do what you want class isnt it. Porta axles, tyres as big as you want etc... I remember talking to a Patrolapart guy about it.
Also nice patrol in the background there :P
2005 TD42TI
A space cab GQ body is going on. They are doing a legends class next year for the older type cars which they use to use back in the 90s and early 2000s so full chassis/body cars modified to the limit. Most guys run buggys these days which are full custom tube type things.
This one is originally based on an fj45 chassis. Has a 400 cube chev with auto. Twin transfers. Rear disconnect. Portal reduction hubs. Air lockers front and rear. Hydraulically adjustable coilovers. Currently has 44 boggers/super swampers on it but they are being replaced with 42" sticky treps.
Yeah the gu in the background has all the goodies. 4" lift 35s, front locker, full bar work, rear drawers, roof rack etc etc. Tough tourer.

Great work, that looks really nice!
Did you use some sort of mortar to hold it all together?

Cheers mate, yeah tried to keep the joins as tight as possible and all mortered and tapered at the back. .
