110 defender conversion

Rick, not sure if yours is a 3500kgs truck, but if not, it is easy to upgrade.

 

As for the handling issues, get extra springs(either steel inserts or air) fitted, also worth looking at are the HD outers. Another very, very beneficial thing to fit is front and rear anti roll bars. These combined with a stronger spring set-up will transform the handling totally.

Just curious mate, but why would you say the 130 is better than the 110?

 

its bigger

its bigger

 

So you can overload it even more?

But a 110 back full of chip is WAY overloaded, so whats the advantage of extra empty space???

Have you weighed it empty???

 

I've got a 130 tipper with chip box and front toolbox. Often wondered what it weighs and had the chance to put it on a weighbridge recently.

 

With driver and passenger plus chainsaws, fuel, oil, two climbing kits and a few other bits the unladen weight was 2.8t!

 

Oh, and not forgetting the ladder:sneaky2:
