    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.

    Amen to that!!!!

    If its behind the rear axel you're looking to extend the body..good luck with the handling! Roof racks a good plan though.
  4. Le Sanglier
    No, not at all, you asked for 5 cube plus storage, it's impossible. You ask a question.......
  5. Le Sanglier
    Yeah I know it's upside down!

    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.
  7. Le Sanglier
    Is it a double cab?
  8. Le Sanglier
    I don't believe it. Look at it,2.5 to 3 max.
  9. Le Sanglier
    4.5 cube hmmmmm... What are the dimensions?

    Christ! they love the Oval Badge out here, oblivious to to all their faults.
  11. Le Sanglier
    120 kg or1200?
  12. Le Sanglier
    Yeah it happens, grease the bearings periodically, cost me a petty penny once when I was miles from home!

    'Bout time someone started to laud the TW, money makers par excellence, and nothing like land rovers BTW!
  14. Le Sanglier
    But would you use a wire core to do it with?
  15. Le Sanglier
    Wiggle the relays in the black box when it's not turning, if they start again you've found your answer, sometime the vibrations can deteriorate the contact.
  16. Le Sanglier
    In answer to the OP, yes, but keep your mobile handy.

    Obviously a bit silly but also missing the point, a steel strop is a joy to ring down with because it flips down easy, and is generally more user friendly as a second line/ tieing in point.

    I would think it is unlikely to have been planted by the council, these trees are very rarely planted as amenity, speak to the tree officer ASAP, I reckon he'll ok any works you suggest. (It's probably snuck in unnoticed!)

    I found it in a wood, brought it home and planted ferns round it, it's in a very shady area round the north face of the house, I am interested in shade gardens.

    My own humble effort....why are my iPad pics always upside down?
  21. Le Sanglier
    Ok Chris no prob like I say just playing devil's advocate.
  22. Le Sanglier
    Really? (Remember I don't know you business so once again I'm playing devis advocate) Could you not get you Fuso closer hire another brash rat and if you get into a pickle pull it out with the 4wd? I was as guilty as the rest in thinking I "needed" a 4wd tipper whereas really I wanted to have one 'cos they looked cool" Get your diary out for the last 6months and job by job work out where you absolutely had to have one, then work out if it was worth paying the astronomical figures these things fetch? Ps this is not just for you but for all of us equipment junkies!
  23. Le Sanglier
    Sure, just be aware they won't hold diddly squat. I think we all search for the one truck that will do it all, 4wd, tipper, winch, family car etc, truth is it doesn't exist. I went down the 130 tipper route, and as they say on the X factor, "it was a journey" For me keep the mitzi get a cheap Hilux or summat for quoting towing etc. Just my opinion of course.
  24. Le Sanglier
    Well close enough I guess, I think it's a lesser stag beetle. Well, confident actually!
  25. Le Sanglier
    no, just think, tons and tons of rotting warm wet woodchip, what's going to love that.
