so my project, ive always like 4x4 or 6x6 ive got a couple of russian 6x6 trucks but they are at the big end of the scale and i wanted something more petit :rolleyes: i have a collection of suzukis that i quite like and have decided that a 6x6 is doable, going to base it on a jimny chassis and go from there ... cheers Andy
 
will probably use an sj body though as the mk 3 jimny body isent my favorite shape and i like the boxy lines of the original sj
for power i want some thing a bit bigger than the original engine as it was never over blessed with power and adding another axle to drive is only going to make things worse
 
This is inspiring, I can't wait to see your pics.Will you be stretching the rear part of the chassis or just rearranging what's there to get the extra axle in there?
 
Although I want to use the bmw engine I have I might have to use a mazda or pug engine if I use the vitara gearbox which is the way its heading
 
chassis came back from dipping and blasting all like new now
