^^also have a spot spot for those full on late 90s style bright colours

Tonka style!!

 

I have 4l of chocolate brown, but was going to paint RX3UTE that colour.

also considering doing this one in the brown and hit RX3UTE with it’s original lemon yellow again.

 

or considered a baby blue on this one.

I do like factory style colours, just so clean and simple

You could always add in the Karere stripes, this was the factory supplied diagram on how to apply them, from memory they also rolled white steel rims

This is interesting seeing this ute thread!

My boss was telling me about the original yellow rx3 ute and i had heard from others about it too. I'll have to show him the pics we were all wondering where it got to

Is it top or bottom ball joint that has run out of travel?

 

Side note, going from 6 stud to 4 is likely going to be problematic for cert

I believe drop spindles started from the next shape - '85 onwards. There may be a way to convert by swapping balljoints/tierods to suit the later spindle but that would be getting into design approval territory with geometry changes I would think.

 

Like I said on the Mtnz page, pie-cutting the upper arm has always been a thing, but I havn't had to get any through cert for many years, so unsure what the reinforcement criteria would be nowadays. 

 

If you want to Pm me I can dig out some pics of how its done. Even if you just do it for now to get you laying so you can build the bag mounts, then figure out the legalities later on down the track.
