Not sure if anyone noticed. But the WPL C24(Toyota Hilux with rear cab) & the 6x6 are now available in the UK.
The rear suspension on the 6x6 looks different in my eyes from the pictures as it seems it has a lot of travel. But that could be trickery for the camera. Price though seems high for C24 over the C14

Good find. But yea seems a lot of rear travel compared to our 6x6 conversions.

I am.going to get a C24 to make a crawler and militarise it a bit.

The 6x6 is a good price but be interested to see underneath.

Are they just being bold running it through the water like that, or do you think they have it waterproofed? It looks like a pretty good truck, and the price isn't too bad. On the other hand, it's almost twice as much as the four by four. The four by four went down in price shortly after it was released so I'm going to wait and see if the six-by-six comes down any.

The 6x6 looks to have an accurate rear suspension. More so than the hack-job I put in mine. It probably has limiters to keep it from pulling the driveshafts out. I had to do that.

When the kits and spare parts come out, I'll probably buy the new frame rails and suspension parts.
