Latest pic. I have, although it's now a hardtop and in serious need of a clutch.

“Now a Hardtop”??? That sacrilege if you ask me!!! Light weights (or Air Portables) should only ever be fitted with a tilt (and only then when its cold or raining).

Nice looking Landy from what I can see.

It's now decked out as a REME LAD vehicle, which were generally hardtops, to prevent folks stealing their hammers and that.
I put the roof on for very similar reasons.

Still I can put it back to open-air in an hour or two.

Fuel economy was the same after as before - but did just learn that tyre pressures were a bit lower than normal, so could be a minimal increase in economy.

Fitting was a bit of a pain - you need a "rivet-bolt" applicator. Managed to borrow one over christmas from a car dealership.

Had a tip today about Safari Snorkels. Turn the intake towards the back if you are driving through trees - stops the grill over the opening getting poked by sticks and breaking it.

Went out to an off road day today, with the people from the LR Club I found. Mel is going to post some pics on later :-D
 
I wish we did have those, they sound like a great idea. :lol: In the real world we were just good boys and girls and cleaned them off before going back on the road. The folding down light guards were very useful in this.
 
matt over at british blades has hosted the pic of our disco after 450degrres plus at 70mph quite a sight i think you'll agree. the photo was taken by my dad for insurence puposes. luckly life theatening injures were sorted quickly (major bleeding from head by upside down driver)

Know what its like to roll a car, did an Audi in a couple of years ago in black ice, luckily the only damage I had was a bump on the head from removing the seat belt whilst updside down.

GF been bugging me for ages to get a Landie, so I think I'd better start saving, financially challenged at the moment. Mind you she only wants it for towing a horse trailer, I spose if she asks nicely enough I'll let her (said day dreaming :lol: )
 
I used to drive my old mans Izusu Trooper, loved that car to bits (Citation, 3.2 Petrol 24v V6 auto)... used to drink fuel but still fell in love with it. Great fun in the rain, could hit puddles at any speed you liked and didn't even phase it...although I did swamp a mini coming the other way once :oops: ...
