Just a carry body plonked on an LJ or Sierra chassis. Maybe they were done well, maybe they weren’t- the quality of the finished product will be down to the builder.

By all accounts forward control vehicles with very short wheelbases are super spooky offroad.

Oooooooohh yeah!

'specially if the roof is gone too.

A late friend had a haflinger ... well ... half a haflinger, with LJ50 diffs hanging underneath, and a Honda 13hp stationery engine in place of the haflinger donk (which he'd sold for a small fortune apparently)

Was perfect for spotlighting bunnies and stuff, and real sketchy if pushed at all.

(trying to get a pic to load up ... ) :roll:

Would love to see pics of that Haffy sounds hairy.

Fair enough Steve, was hoping someone on here was responsible and had more detailed pics. Just got a couple of vans from a farm and wouldnt mind converting one to the st41 4x4 stuff but came across these various pics of sierra/lj running gear.

Another one from japan maybe:
