Hi, does anyone have any info on swapping a jago anus body onto a Samurai and if I will encounter any DVLA V5 issues?
Thanks

Probably more work than you think.
Do you have dimensions for one?

The jago had the same wheelbase as the SJ and although slightly wider. Jago did actually produce a Suzuki based version. I do believe there have been a few body swaps onto Suzuki chassis but a web search just gets a few photo's and no detail.
Cheers

I could do with one
, just found another hole in mine. Those dam rustworms are getting the better of me
.
I see in Africa you can get a fibreglass body to go on them, I couldn't even find a price for that!!
I guess it wouldn't be an option for us as the shipping cost would be silly.

Why didn't they make the rickman ranger to fit a SJ (guess it wouldn't be a kit car then).

I'd be tempted to holiday to Africa and swap the bodies while I was over there. I shouldn't think it'd take more than a couple of days.

LOL, that body is brilliant, it looks just like a giant tamiya body.
and the only place ive seen a rickman ranger was in a scrapyard... thought it was cool though:)
