Rear sus is fairly cool, but rest of package does'nt appeal to me, especially the alloys.......

I guess if ya spend all yr time on tarseal, wear your baseball backwards, & 'swing the wrong way', then yeah, this would be something that might be parked in your driveway..........

Much prefer my Triton to this thing.........8-) 8-)
Tip # 1 - Avoid stress & grief & low resale values with vehicles - do it once - do it right, buy a HILUX!!

Hey guys, that conversion is seriously good! I've seen one in the flesh but didn't get to go in it.
I've been off-roading with Colin Read this weekend,( Mitsi's main instructor and rally king over here,) and he says the conversion is THE best thing for on and off-roading.
But I'd have it without the wheels too.

A mate of mine has just fitted a rear coil conversion to his old shape L200 (and bob-tailed it! 8-) )
And he told me about an L200 2.5 with over 190bhp, which is very do able.......it's my birthday soon..;)

I was with zip and its only a few mods for 190bhp, its only 25bhp gain on top of our trucks :) air filter, 3" exhaust, I have seen a 190bhp at a local dealer also.
