kyteler Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This is the factory look, SiRage. Not sure where this talk of LED strips comes into play? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordon KE... Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 I don't know anything about these ute's specifically, but the white wellside looks 100% better than the green one, as the wheel arches match the fronts for a start. On the green one it doesn't look the same, but they're some pretty crappy photo's so not a good selling point by the supplier if he's trying to get you to go for the newer improved version.. if i had a choice i would go for the white style but they seem to be only making the green style now. Its photos from the manufacturer in Thailand... not sure why they sent such shit ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Any wellside is >> than flat deck. Â Though the new wellside style looks pretty lame. Â Keep in mind though, a decent amount of slam makes anything look good.... hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Â can't believe they just massacred one of the most beautiful wellsides ever made!! Â holy shit! Â but I have to go with the general consensus here; any wellside is better than no wellside. I'd def wanna see some better pics and I would probably relocate the taillights back to were they originally were (they look cool with the smooth round edges etc). Would be a lot of fucking around though. The pumped guards...well I guess they are just asking for wide rims now!! Might also lend themselves to flares a bit better though... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordon KE... Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 No more photos unfortunately and this is the only supplier API can use. I'm going to have to go ahead with it and make it work. Better than nothing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxtoy Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hard to tell from your pics but you realise there's long and short wheel base versions right? The tub pics are of a SWB version but LWB's are way more common in NZ and Straya, and probably what you've got. I don't love the green version but they're terrible pics of a way to high 620, lowering would definitely help a lot and it's heaps better than a flat deck.

Jordon KE... Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Cheers man, actually that's the only thing I'm waiting on is measurements before it's 100% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxtoy Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Ha, they're pretty much just as hard to find. I assume you've talked to Sparkle about where he got his one? Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordon KE... Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Actually no I havent, I'll pm him. I'm pretty sure it's the same company 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 that looks like a butchered 1200 one. Old mate in thailand just decided to make one fit both obvs. Â Personally i'd rather go a nice flat deck with tongue and groove rather than an oddball one. But hey, least it'll be a talking point and something different. I'm sure it'll look nice. I ordered through auto parts industrial in auckland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordon KE... Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 So at this stage i've decided not to go ahead with this as they haven't been able to get me a wheel base measurements and after looking at yours Sparkle i don't want to take the risk with something that doesn't have the original 620 shape. If they can get back to be with a wheelbase length i'll probably go ahead but have been waiting 2 weeks and nothing, quite dissapointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 By engine swap, I'll go ahead and assume you're going 13B PP. Good good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
