That bumper looking like it could handle the Zombie invasion easily!

had to built it big to look in proportion with the size of the van. when the holes cut out for the winch and lights it will loose some material. Its built so the winch will be hidden from the inside of the bumper

its built by tropical engineering

hey any of you guys know what (newer) chassis models (or reg'n series) can work on the TAU YN67 4x4 hilux? I saw online from Australia that the LN106 can work but not certain of the bolting, if it will line up or need moving / adjusting.

RX7USER · Postby **RX7USER** » November 23rd, 2014, 8:44 pm

Yes the ln 106 will work. Any cab that is off a front solid axle van with leaf springs, the bolt up is the same. I see fireman has a good looking cab on the highway

droppa · Postby **droppa** » November 24th, 2014, 8:39 am

no it will not line up, been there done that.....

106 and 130s are compatible.

RX7USER · Postby **RX7USER** » November 24th, 2014, 1:36 pm

well my van is YN 67 and i put a LN105 cab on it and it bolted up.
i think only the IFS hilux cab is different...all SFA models should line up on eachother

droppa · Postby **droppa** » November 24th, 2014, 2:26 pm

well maybe it will work, ah stand corrected.

so this monster hilux yuh build, is to just take pose up in yuh garage orr, when yuh bringing it on a lil run with us man????/

what's the difference with the LN105 and LN106 cabs? do 4x2 older model cabs work on the 4x4 SFA hiluxes?

Fireman wants $35k for his cab only (has some rot on the front door). George has one coming for about $25k. I have a plan to use a surf and cut...have some time, planning for Jan/Feb'15.

Are there any dimensions for the chassis bolting available anywhere?

Him didnt kno the cabs could have been swapped....but is that legal?

RX7USER · Postby **RX7USER** » November 29th, 2014, 11:03 am

the LN105 is the diesel version 4x4 that like what we had down here TBB model....the LN 106 is the same van but gas like the TAY and TAZ

RX7USER · Postby **RX7USER** » November 29th, 2014, 11:08 am

My cab is from a LN105, it had a 2L diesel originally, its from England so when i put it on my van which had a 2L already the van works very good..better than before because i used the fuel lines that come with the LN105 cab and it seems the engine needs that. Also there are other stuff in the engine bay that the gas model dont have

the same bumper looks different with some paint and indicator lights......it was built to hold the winch from the inside.
