Beau, why not just get a 110 like mine with the hi cap back on it, that way its easy enough to do a tipper conversion if you ever wanted to? Plus the 3500kg towing etc.

The snag with that Matt is that it's another Landrover with all the downsides that go with it.

 

If it's anything like our current one.

 

1. 110 has the turning circle of a supertanker

2. As quite to drive as a seat in chinook (did you get a fly by yesterday?)

3. Poor fuel economy

4. Need to where welly boots inside to stay dry.

 

Don't get me wrong it's a great workhorse and has proved reliable! The idea is to get a pick up and get rid of the Defender and a car so would want a few more comforts than ours offers. If the best change option is a 110 I think we would just keep things as they are.

The hilux single cab is a great pickup but if you look on the specs it only carries 700kg the double cab carries 1085kg. With a driver and 2 cu metres of green beech logs you would be over weight.

A LR Defender 130 tipper can carry approx 2.5 m3

Not just because I am a land rover fan but you have to admit they do look the best of the bunch as a work truck.

When it comes to carrying weight and 4x4 you can only really go the defender route. Just a shame they are so uncomfotable to drive and can be unreliable.

As an old landrover fan I have to smile when you see them going down the road with the sticker; "one life, live it"

 

Well if they got rid of the landrover they might be able to as otherwise they will have no time due to always be mending it!

i use two 1 cube bags fill the first one up then put second one half in truck other on tail gate and fill and just hold back one with strap works fine. not often i do it but saves dragging trailer 10 miles to dump logs.

Funnily enough my Defender has its own indoor water feature after it rains.
