Bagging a dual cab hilux

[BMP12P]

Looking through some magazines today I saw. Complete kit for 1900 and I thought about bagging my lux but wasn't sure about the prices to cut the guards,cut the tub and to install it? And also it engineer it?
Does any one have any ideas?

You have your opinion, but I asked for ideas on bagging it

[wa5]

Sigh.....

1. bagging; make fun of, to insult
(Quit bagging on the French, it's old.)

Realistically you are only going to find a couple of bagged utes on this site and the double cabs are a little tricky to do, thats's why I suggested Down Under Truckin. A lot more people there who have done it and builds you can look through for ideas, you may even find someone willing to do the work. I know engineering for bags in Oz is pretty difficult and totally banned in some states so you need to talk to guys who own, build and drive bagged utes. Whatever you do though, don't get talked into a reverse four link, they are just nasty. For a few more build ideas also look at http://forums.minitruckin.co.nz/index.php as there are a few nicely build double cabs there, particularly WLDTOY's one.

nothing wrong with bagging a dually i know of a few that have been done they look pretty good,
but to do the job youll have to notch the chassis C notch the rear if you dont notch its pretty pointless. then youll need a link kit and youll need to tub your tray and rear firewall depending on how big your notch is and how big the rims you plan to use are so that 1900 is just for a kit and a basic one at that.
it ends up being a pretty full on job and costs a fair bit usually around the 10g mark

i dont know where ya live, but a mate lives in a small town and he went and saw a blacksmith/spring works and being pretty quiet on work and keen for a challange really looked after him on price. So maybe think out side the box a bit as most of the c notch welding etc is quite easy if ya know a (good) boily and ive seen a few ready made "c" kits cheap. Plus its the cheap way ive seen to make a mini truck handle cause lets face it they were made cheap no luxury comercial vehicles
