Land rover defender 130 tipper body....

[Pete Hart]

Evening all, im ordering a new defender 130 truck cab from land rover next week, only issue is getting the tipper/chip box sorted. As its a chassis cab from the manufacturer ive been told ive got to get type approval for any body/tipper i have installed on the vehicle and a few companies ive phoned seem to be put off by this.

Can anyone firstly recomend a body type style (pics would be great). I want a tool cab and chip box with barn doors and ladder rack.

And also can anyone recomend someone/a company to build the tipper/chip box (preferably you have used them personally).

I have a little bit of time to get it sorted as the vehicle will be on the production line for a while yet.

 

Thanks in advance

Pete

Also forgott to ask, GRP or ally sides? I want lightwieght properties to maximise payload.

I've not used them for chip body but I know Overland in Basingstoke are very good, though quite pricey Pete. I don't think they will have a problem with type approval because they do a lot of body's for SSE on their new Landy's.

My 130 body came from KMR, supplied with a certificate of conformity

My 130 had a back from KMR too. Found them to be good quality and very reasonable.
