Convert a Double Cab into a Station Wagon / Utility Vehicle

[Woody3]

Hi,

Is it possible or should I say, how possible is it, to modify a Double Cab Pick-up into a Station Wagon / Utility vehicle?

Is it just a case of swapping the roof and rear door, and remove rear panel (that has the sliding window) and install the side panels?

Or is it much more complicated?

Cheers

Cab rear lower bulkhead will have to come out,

SW rear floor panel & rear lower tub,rear door,full roof,interior trim.upper rear side panels.

would be faster to sell the 110DC & buy a SW.

I agree, easier to buy what you want than convert. It may appear simple but there's a lot of small details that need to change, unbolting bits is easy. If you're determined to do it though, the roof is worth a fair amount as most requests are to go the other way! For a utility you need plain 88" series side panels to replace the SW sides.

Seems to be more difficult than what I thought then.

The reason I ask, was this:

I need the rear due to having a dog...can't seem to find a 110 TDCi SW for anywhere near that price...

Thanks for the replies.

Is your dog anti-socially smelly?

You can easily fit a dog guard in station wagons or does it need to be in it's own space?

Sean he's saying he wants the dog in a station wagon & not in it's own space, but personally I think DC are better for dog carrying, the dog would be fine in the back, your windows won't steam up,your cab stays clean and fresh and most importantly better from a safety point of view for you and your passengers and possibly the dog in reality.
