Nissan cabstar tipper conversion

[TTP]

I wasn't meaning proper off roading anyway just the odd grass verge etc because lets face it which two wheel drive tipper is any good off-road

Has anyone converted a Nissan cabstar flatbed to a tipper or know of anyone that has? I'm having trouble finding a quality tipper with reasonable miles so looking into converting a flat because more are available to choose from. I'm pretty capable at doing the conversion but wondered if anyone has done it on here? Any tips and ideas and also things not to do?

 

I'd forget about converting the drop side to a tipper it will be loads of agg and by the time you mount it to a tipper frame it will sit really high,

 

Look for a 2nd hand tipper body on the bay and make it fit your truck you might need to trim it down a bit but if your up a bit of DIY you'll save your self a few quid

 

If converted a few trucks now and find it pretty straight forward and enjoyable

 

Good luck on your build

My next builds going to be a 3 way tipper so I can side tip and won't have to un hook the chipper no more

Btw, the new cabstars, from 11 plate onwards have limited slip diff. Yet to get mine stuck!!
