Most of us who drive land rover's are a bit "different" from the "normal" euro box driver's.Whether it's the clothe's we wear or the vehicle we drive we are "Different".
Part of this is the mod's we do to our truck's, is there any-one out there who has modded their's to be a bit more individual,other than the boring, obvious winch,cubby box, spot's,slider's,beacon's bfo sticker's that once you put on your truck your mate's think that looks good,i'll do the same.
I'm not having a go at anyone as most mod's are there for practical reason's rather than asthetic's and i guess there are limit's to how you can do different mod's to every one else!
So how are your's different? :?
And yes before i get slated i do have winch and spot's :lol:
-
Guilty as charged!!!
Lights, winch, lift, MT's,..... :lol:
But I do have a boxer manifold with 4 SU carbs on my V8.... Does that count as 'interesting'??

No lights.They'd only get poinched and stop the air flow to the radiator.
No winch.Not needed. I might regret that statement later next year.
No lift.I don't want inbuilt vibrations.
No sliders. Margaret needs the side steps. I bet they get ripped off next year though.
Cubby box is needed for security. A steel one that should be secure.
The beacon sits inside the truck until it's required.
any more answers :lol: :D

Nice, but unless you have a budget for the 110 roof panel (about £500) you may have to use 2 truckcab roofs . Thats why I went the route I did but I am glad I did as its different.
You may be able do better on ebay or sinilar but generally those roofs are rare and expensive.

ive just put some standard springs on mine, it even leans to the side.

Just why do you need a 110 roof panel, is there any particulary reason why the roof from a hard top 90 could not cut down to length instead?

That was what i was planning to do. As nice as bullfrogs is, i have seen a fair few of those, yet i havent seen any like my idea.
