Its fine with 800kg but not legal. Legally it carries 500kg. All single cab hiluxs only carry 700kg with tin tub but the extra cab carries at least 1100kg. Its the turbo diesel so about 23 mpg with mts on. Better fuel on d4d but alot more money to buy. I was going to run the chassis into the ground then move the new body onto a late mk 6 extracab. But 3/4 of the population around Andover are now doing logs so time for me to concentrate on other areas.

 

Single cabs are more like 900kg with standard tub.

 

I would like an extra cab,but they don't have external lashing hooks on the tub.

Bolters in tadley hampshire made it. Very well made possibly a bit heavy but will tip anything you put in it. Prices started at 1700 but with vat mine was near 3k I had high sides, rear lights, anodised alloy, high open rear tailgate, removable divider.

Who made the body and not being rude but how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking.

 

Would quite like to do that to my mk3,or buy one already converted.

 

I would hesitate putting a tipping body on a mk3 as the weight will kill it even when empty. mk4 better d4d excellent.
