Went past there today, these are out the front.

They weren't interested in building it.

I decided to build it myself and service metals at braintree have been really helpfull with what bits I would need.

I have ordered my 130 chassis cab and it is going into build next week and I am in the same situation. I am trying to find a company to put a tipping body on it and it is booked in to cuthbertson to move my plough from my 110 double cab and fit a removable gritter body on there too. But land rover are messing about with bodys and companys with only two in the country having the right to fit a body one in the very south of England and the other in Cardiff. What use is that then one wants £5000 to fit the body and put through an iva!!

Have any of you got prices for a body??

Cheers Brian

Ive been quoted anywhere between, 3.4k and 9k! Getting very frustrated over the iva/type approval stumbling block.

I've got a KMR tipper fitted to my LR130, had tie-down rings installed on bed as well. With removable mesh sides.

You can put it through the IVA yourself, any standard design of tipper body will pass ok.

Well just the dropsides to go and mine is done

rather pleased as I have exactly what I wanted, and being pretty fussy doing it myself was probably the way to go.

dragging this thread back up, here is what I built.

Just mudguards, rope eyes and possibly gantry (depends how much weight I have left to spare) to sort and then get some paint on all of it.

looks excellent mate, where did you buy the fittings and alloy

[scraggs]

Everything came from service metals in Braintree, they were really helpful, all the alloy raves and sides were cut to size by them.
