here is some pics of my recent purchase, 2001 pickup i bought for 255 quid on ebay.. it cost me a further 400 to get through an mot, and have the ecm reset. so how it sits at the moment has cost me less than £700, i had the wheels sitting in my garage, and i hadn't seen a pickup with these on before.

any comments are welcome!!!!! what dya think???

It looks really smart, all you need now is a jacuzzi in the back and some bikini clad lovelies.

are those wheels off a renault 5 gt turbo?? did you chop the springs or did you fit proper lowering springs?? if your pickup doesn't have abs don't forget to adjust the rear brake bias regulator too

I like it

the wheels are a set of zender turbos that came with a kit for the mk1 golf in the 80's and yes we just lopped the springs and used shorter dampers on the rear, just a tempary measure until i can work out the best way forward for a proper kit

lol...thats exactly what my brother said:rolleyes:

roll the arches and space them wheels to feck.

Of course, with the current time of year, the bikinis would have to be fur!!!!

PS, I actually do know someone with a jacuzzi in the back of his pick-up!!

those steels you can see in the back, are being banded to 8's and 9's, and painded white with stretched tyres, roll the arches and chuck on some coilovers...jobs a good 'n':D

yeh, good luck with that:O

It's one of those BIG!! US pick-ups, the bloke runs a company that installs jacuzzis and hot-tubs; I have never seen it moving while full of water, but I imagine it could get quite hairy on corners and stopping/starting in traffic LOL

Air-bags!
