I bought this sierra as a daily driver a few months back. It ran well at the time but has slowly gone down hill over time. Last week I discovered that it would no longer run due to a stuffed carby and a blocked cat converter. So I decided to chuck the carby motor in favour of a 2004 model Jimny twin cam motor and gearbox. I have fitted both the new engine and box and will have it running by this weekend, so pics yet to come.
In this pic you can just see the hard torneau cover I have made for the rear. It is completely sealed and lockable, and I have welded a lower wall into the cab just behind the seats to stop people from getting into the boot via the soft top cab.
I have also chucked the rear tailgate as it was caved in by the previous owner. I folded up a sheet metal gate with a sunken number plate and led tail lights. The new tailgate is welded in, so it cannot be opened.
Also a new rear bar withtow hitch receiver is under construction, as are some sliders/ sill protectors ( similar to the shrockworxs ones).
Pics up soon.
