Love utes, wish there was more of them in the uk! Did you guys have many legal issues or hoops to jump through with the chassis extension? Also just noticed that its a 6 bolt axle, what ones did you use especially since of the issue with the rear diff offset on original?
yes we love a ute this one was quite a build for sure. Fairly straight forward with chassis but its not for the faint hearted. the wheel is currently a hub adaptor we are fitting patrol axles shortly, we have done a few, and not a problem at all running offset diffs when the angles are correct.
@@K2DesignAndFabrication Maybe you can help us with Patrol axles on a 110 - Not sure if they're needed on a ~400bhp 606 swap but we'll be driving it hard when it's done.
Excellent build, love it. I'd like an extended chassis disco but i'm told it will end up on a Q-plate, how come you managed to get this done without one?
We are building a 130" version Disco, videos on our channel. But we used a Defender 130 chassis, so the DVLA class it as a Defender rather than a Disco 1. The DVLA told us that if we had extended our existing chassis, it would be a Q plate.
Yes the dvla can be tricky call them twice on the same day you get 2 different answers. There are lots of variations and hard work to get it done but it is possible.
Absolutely love it, the fabrication work looks stunning. It's like a taste of Australia in the UK!
Thank you very much!
well done K2
cheers mate, got plenty more to show
Looking forward to see this build absolutely mega pice of kit
