Just Another 80 Series Flatbed Conversion

[Mule_XO]

Our newest shop project #MuleWagon has officially started last week. We started with a 91 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series, and then we cut the body in half-ish.

So far the confirmed build sheet:

- MITs Alloy Flatbed conversion and canopy
- LS Engin Swap with trans
- ARB Air Lockers and Twin Compressor
- NITRO axle shafts and gears
- Yokohama Tires
- REDARC electrical system
- Old Man Emu Springs and BP-51 Shocks

The rest is still up in the air as of now. We are keeping this thing low to be able to navigate the PNW woods.

More updates to come as we slowly work on the project between paying jobs.

No Fred and Dave on this one, however, we might have to invite them out when the project is done.

Nice. I just watched an Australian guy chop a brand new 200 series in half. Thing had less than 200 kilometers on it.

Like this one? We didn't do the chop, just the tray install. This thing was clean when it showed up at our Oregon shop (still clean, just with a flatbed tray now).

Nothing much to report on regarding our #MuleWagon build. We removed the ARB winch bumper, the very cool factory winch that was "adapted" to fit the ARB bumper. Also started removing the emissions components and anything else in preparation for the engine removal.

We also receive the final design renderings. This thing is gonna be awesome!
