Is there panels that Suzuki make so that i don't have to reinvent the wheel
I was looking at a YouTube video from Japan showing the job done in time lapse, the panels looked factory
Thanks Neil

I was super impressed with the way that my cab was done but I was lucky enough to have a bodyshop do the job. That level of skill is still achievable at home, I could never have done it but there are a few that have.... Riccy, Keithy, James (j999pre) are all quality builds and look like professional conversions.
I don't think that there are panels available for purchase or at least, not that I have seen. Terry Lofley (01623 742292) who did my conversion can supply a pick up bed that is fabricated and ready to fit. Other than that, I think you are doing it yourself I'm afraid....
Good Luck....

The Land Rover truck cab is very much like a Jimny, except a bit bigger. They are great, if you can find a good one.
Sadly by now most aren't. People say they are unreliable, forgetting that most of them have had at least twenty years of abuse with minimal maintenance, which would see most cars reduced to scrap.
But good ones are out there, you just have to spend some time looking. lf you can find one that's have a galvanised chassis fitted then you'll have a vehicle that will, with a bit of love, last forty years.

Thanks Lightning, I'm not keen on moving away from the jimny, i like it's ability, availability of parts and accessories still available ,can't afford larger 4wdlightning wrote: lf you want a truck cab or tray back that's like a Jimny then why not buy a Land Rover.
