This will strictly be race rego. So will pretty much never see the road. Unfortunately in QLD we have stupid laws so nothing can be engineered

Will this be an ICV? Or strictly for off road use?

Kind of. The bottom rail of the rear section has had 75 x 50 bar welded onto the end of it and run through the newly constructed rear cab wall. We are in the process of raising them higher and narrowing them closer than the original rails in the front so I can run double wishbone airbag suspension using 18 inch wheels ;)
20 x 10s are going on the rear

Oic. So it is still unibody monocoque, but now has stronger rails notched for extreme lowering.
Looks good!

I have notched the orginal rear chassis clip and then welded new rails from the rear wall all the way to the front end.
I have only got a pic of the notched rear clip. I'll throw that up now.

Are you saying you have put an old-school full frame chassis under your 1200 ute? Got photos?
