Those harnesses are a no-no.

So they cut up that sweet 80 and made it into a caged crawler? I guess the roll over damage was extensive.

 

[uzj100]

Rolled on its side. The junkyard guys laughed when they came to pick it and said you will need a rollback or trailer and they started it up and drove it home. The junk yard guys mouth were on the floor. Thats a Land Cruiser for you.

Harnesses should never attach to the vehicle below shoulder height. In an accident it will compress your spine.

 

[Storz]

Those harnesses are a no-no.

Agreed, not trying to dump on anyones thread but those are a spinal compression nightmare waiting to happen.

 

[uzj100]

I let my friend know. Thanks for the input.

 

[MoGas]

I don't have a rule book in front of me, but when I built my last race car, it was something like no greater than 1 inch below shoulder height for the shoulde harness.

 

[MoGas]

Oh, and is it currently titled/licensed? I only ask because it makes it much easier to transfer.

Im still trying to figure out how this "buggy" can REALLY be made into an expedition vehicle. Doesn't really look possible.

 

[uzj100]

Remove back seat and rear tool box and cut cage. Install camper. Done.

A snorkel is also required if you plan to be "super serious".

This chassis could be the foundation for a USA version of a camper like this:

This vehicle uses a lengthened 80 series chassis and a modified cab and front clip from a 40 series truck. It was designed by forum member Soenke. Read about the truck here
