The evolution of my arb truck

[Le Sanglier]

Not as hard as you might think we fitted 2 small rams off a stump puller and put them behind a plate and they had enough power to push the chip out

Surely that's a candidate for the load handler? Would save plenty digging

So decision made to find someone to do the work, when still looking at landrover conversion's I had looked at one with a good quality new back on it and had noted down the name of who had made it. A F custom bodies at crook, county durham so not too far from me so I gave him a call explaning what I wanted - all possible and could I pop over so he could look at the truck as a little different.

He was very helpful giving all the options and lots of good advice and getting me to think longterm about what I want out of the vehicle like places to hang loading ramps when I upgrade the stumpgrinder, a few days later a price was agreed and now the fun bit of me stripping off the old body.

 

 

 

 

And true to form 1 stubborn bolt behind the derv tank took almost as long as all the rest together to undo, in total 4hrs to strip. Body for sale if any1 has a use.

Actually think it looked quite cool as just a chasy cab, got a few strange looks when I picked my little girl up from school in it like that!
