Here at LR Hotshots, our Body Shop have been hard at work building our new trucks LR70 and 71.

The 2026 Isuzu FVR170-260 is coming along nicely with all the hard work, efforts and customisation that have been poured into this build.

We have:

– Extended the Chassis to give us an overall tray length of 8575mm

– Design and fabricate custom brackets throughout the build

– Installed a lazy axle to the rear of the drive axle

– Fit 2x 800 Litre CUSTOM BUILT fuel tanks

– Installed 2 x toolboxes

– Repositioned spare wheel placements

– Relocated air tanks from outside Chassis to inside to create space for fuel tanks

– Renew air lines to fit new length from back to front of vehicle

– Fit brand new Air-condition unit to cab (This kind of unit is the first of its kind being installed)

– Design and fabrication to move hydraulic tank and coolant expansion tank to make space for the air-conditioning unit

– Installed additional crossmembers for optimal tray support

– Design placements of wheel boxes

Up next on the to-do list is the tray & paint – more updates to come soon!
