Chip body design land rover

[mad matty]

o.k. thanks for the advice how much does your one hold? I,ve come over from a crew cab transit holding a easy 6 cube.....can't have it all i know but something close would be good?? if poss.

So how have you arrived at those dimensions? PMH's is a double cab, world of difference.

Here's mine 130, technically would hold 4 ish cube I cannot see how a double cab would do the same.

 

My box is about 12" higher than the cab of my landy and about 6" wider, yours looks level with the roof and sides.

I have just measured it and it is 3.8 cube. Sorry for misleading you. The tool box takes a bit off.

I recently sold mine, honestly I know it's not for everyone but get a nice tranny or similar and if you have to a cheap jap 4wd. I've had a Navarra and 2 Hiluxs and now have a Ranger.

defender tippers don't hold diddly, tree surgery is all about logistics ie getting the stuff away, with a def you're looking at more trips more fuel etc.

I've had my old tranny 12 years made me so much money, the landy was so expensive, and although we had some good times, ie winching and off road stuff it was a lot of bother.

I'm not being negative but do the sums.

trannys not a lot of good for me because i do a lot of forestry contracting as well a climbing work. plus my log deliverys in the winter just what one vehicle that can do a bit of everything.....maybe buy a tipping trailer to to behind thats the other option??

I wouldn't want our 130 as our only truck, it's too small for a proper day. Fine for small stuff, off road stuff and towing the 3.5 ton trailer. You can physically fit more on a transit, but like all 3.5 tonners you will be overweight by elevenses of most tree jobs.

 

If your 110 is not a hicap you will have very little legal load...

My chip body measures 1.75 long x 1.86 wide x 1.16 high. These are approx , with chip I can get a bit more in by putting a sheet on and heaping in the middle or jumping on tje chip to pack it down abit, but she does wobble a bit. Lol. However it is great for me and I wouldn't change it. Sorry for misleading you before(blush)
