Dans 96 LN106 1KZ-TE Dual Cab

[MUD000]

The story so far
Bought a 96 model dual cab in Melbourne a few months ago as a bit of a project. WHat I have done so far is sell the bull bar sold the rear diff centre & trying to sell the 5 x 35 inch simex's & the 2.8ltr diesel. I have also purchased a 03 model single cab for the 1KZ-TE motor that I want to install into my 96 model. The plan is to run an 80 series front diff with a Prado rear. cant decide weather to run a dual ultimate marlin crawler box or atlas just priceing at the moment. I need to have this up & running by next year as I need it for dad to take to Cape York on our holiday's. Will post up pick soon & keep you informed as I go. Planing to swap the complete looms over & the dash. At the moment the motor is ready to be pulled out (hopefully Tuesday night) then a good clean of the old engine bay to see if it needs a respray or not.
Cheers Dan

Your build up looks sweet.
Love the triple stick shifter, saw them on Pirate4x4 last year and wanted to use them on my previous LN106, but never got around to fitting the duals
