Hey just got a ln65 single cab. Very clean good starting point came on 32" wranglers and 2" old emu suspension computer

So here is my list of todo's

Chop the tray
make a comp tray
2" shackles
2" bodylift
33" mt117 extremes
Xrox bar that i allready have but mounts are for surf so have to see if it will work or buy new ones
Put my 13,000lbs winch with dyneema rope on to toe out all the 80s and patrols lols

This week end i will be lifting the body cause i had a bodylift in my surf tht just blew up so i will just take the nylon mounts and bolts out have only been in their for two weeks max. So should be all fine also will be sticking my mt117 extremes on also. So i will be taking pictures this weekend of how i am going from start to finish here is the canvas!!!!

Looks like it's in pretty fair nick, Cory. :thumbup: AFAIK the chassis is the same as the Surf, so your sliders should fit.

Have not got sliders yet will make some soon im doing my bl on the weekend 2" just taking the bl out of my surf. And i was told the xrox bar on my surf will fit to the lux but the wings will be different. Will also be chopping the tray shorter and putting roll bars basically a comp bar just easeir version. Will take pics from start to finish for everyone i also will be taking the power steering setup off my surf and mounting it to my lux. Has anyone done a ln106 power steering conversion to a ln65 ?

LOl yeah sorry franco i live in hobart tasmania down the bottom of australia! dont know what i will do with them yet. Cause i cant drive on the road with the 33s way to load but its not my daily i have a another car for that. Was thinking of selling them they dont have the best tread maybe 30% maybe 40 cheers for the nice comments guys. Hopefully will cut the tray down this saturday coming and then by some checker plate for the tray. Then get some 4mm tube for the roll bars and they sand the cab back and my mate will paint it. At the moment currently trying to get my xrox bar to work they dont make a mount for a ln65 so i have to get one custom made.
also making a big arse tool box for the back. Seing it is a flat tray and need to pack my tools and wheeling stuff like snatch strap block etc. Also just spoke to my mate he can make the custom mount for me so that is good news will have my xrox bar on soon will keep everyone updated.........:)

Ok so the tray was a bit harder to cut then what I thought! Gave it to my mate who is a fabricator. Also said I need a bigger grinder was only using a 5" should of used a 9" lol any he is cutting the tray and welding it for me and my other mate is putting on the power steering setup I bought. Also my Xrox bar is on have not got any pics as of yet cause my laptop is getting fixed. I'm on my iPhone at the moment will get pics and update everyone in the mean time I have a clip went out Jefferies the other day.

Been a while I can't upload cause my laptop shit itself but the tray has been cut. My windows got tinted getting my doors trims redone and carpet put in set up my boost gauge and oil pressure gauge. With a gauge piller also my UHF and a new antenna and hopefully some new tires same ones but new. Also get my tray covered in checkerplate and my tool box for camping.
