vinny Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hi Folks Im thinking of converting my 90 truckcap into a Hi Cap 90. Ive sourced a tub and bulkhead from a 110 and will chop it down to suit. I have the LRe mag that covered this conversion already. The fella didnt reattach the front of the Hi-Cap tub, he used Al treadplate to cover it up.. Can anybody explain why? Unless the front of the tub can be reattached to give a factory standard finish I propably wont bother with the conversion.

Litch Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 From what I recall about the article he just used chequer-plate because he 'likes the look of it'. That's fine as it is his vehicle but I thought it completely spoilt what was otherwise a nice conversion and made it look home-brewed whereas with some flat alloy sheet it would have looked far more professional. Even if you need the strength that 2-3mm chequer-plate can give you can do the same thing with flat plate of the same thickness. As I said, personal preference as I hate chequer-plate.

vinny Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Im not a fan of chequer plate either, but was trying to figure out why he didnt reuse the front of the hi-cap tub? Would it foul the wheel arches or something? Would anybody have the dimensions or specs of a 110 Hi-cap tub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Ok next question then!! I removed the standard 90/110 diesel filler from the side of the tub and fitted the series type just behind the drivers door. If I use the Hi-cap truck cab bulkhead can I still fit the series filler?
