About LinkBacksThere is a number of those conversions over here , the only criticism I have is the rear wheel isn't under the tray and when carrying heavy loads the weight is all hanging out the back . I have seen a couple where they have made them into Xtra-cabs and they look really good . I'm a real fan of the 80 series Cruisers , they are a tough beast .
Here is a couple of pics of my favourite " Luxy " .
The original, and still the best

I've been holding off buying a new truck until they released the specs of the new one.
I was praying it was going to be 3.0v6 or bigger...
FFS....
Another bollox small engine that's lent on to get any performance out of it, with bullshit quoted fuel figures to make it sound good.
If you can't afford to put gas in it regardless of the economy, then you shouldn't be spending 50+k on a new vehicle.
Looks like it back to a F150, 550 or Tundra, but the Tundra is simply massive and the 550 is silly money for an almost 10yr old chassis.
Balls balls balls....

F150 oh yeah, customers just spent 20 k on a new engine for his, bottom end spec will take up to 1200 hp, he's working thru it slowly, but laying rubbers no longer a prob!

Turn it into the garage for repair, turn out. Into garage, turn out. Into garage, turn out. Great turning circle if you're the dealer servicing it! Originally Posted by craigc

Don't know if the Indians have fixed them yet but every Rover Ive known, regardless of badging was a mechanics wet dream.

I saw this bad boy today, on the way to get a coffee, it was almost too cold to get my hands out of my pockets for a photo; but seeing it was for you guys...
Looks like it has a 6.2L petrol engine. Ford 'Raptor'!
