Body conversion

[Ulfr]

Ok, I had a lil "incident" this weekend. I did a rollover on my 2nd gen 4runner.
It was slippy and a very important part of the steering mechanism kinda ripped apart.

Anyway, any of you guys done a body conversion, 1st gen body on a 2nd gen chassis?

Or just original body on chassis.

But anyway, looks like I've got a lot of work on my hands. Heh heh.

i know a guy that can do the body change if its the same model, i am not sure about a 1st gen to 2nd gen. aparently it isnt too hard to do, and my guy said on a saturday he could have it done. although he is a mechanic i am sure you know one too that may be able to help. 200 bucks and a 12 pack usually go far with mechanics lol.

yes, it can be done, Ive seen/ wheeled with a 1st gen (4runner) body, on a 3rd gen. rolling frame, motor, worked out great. but its not the easiest thing to do, you have to redo all the body mounts, heres the guys website

Well, I'll prolly do this my self next month... Just thinkin' if it's any problem putting a 1st gen on a 2nd gen body, as that body is more raw and easier to fit 38" tyres on it. And oh, I'm in Iceland.. Heh.
