The photos aren't good but I can assure you, those headlights are stunning!

Stunning job! And not too over the top either. I hate people who try to turn their Land Rover's into monster trucks!
Looks a bit naked at the back - are you putting a cover over the rear load area or a hard top?
It looks a bit like a Tomb Raider model - hey we have our very own Lara Croft!

I'm thinking of making a roller shutter bed cover. I have a friend that does roller shutters for a living, gonna see if I can do that. Sounds like it'd look awful but they look very smart. Still got to put badges on as well.

How do you propose to stop water filling the bed, having run past the sides? Have you seen them commercially available?

EDIT: Ooops!! Of course you have......still must be water-tight, then?

Not sure but water will only sit in there anyway so not a major issue.

My neighbor had a tambour cover ,looked really good, when he drove off after rain loads of water would drain from the tail gate , I have seen gas strut assisted rigid covers that keep the load bay much drier, a removable canvas ,pvc cover with a removable spine to deflect water would give much more flexibility in use and reduce the water ingress, only my opinion , nice truck,

ps are you really sure you don't want a swap??,
last chance.

Unless you're carrying a 'precious' load [like a big [ish] machine, for example.....

Looks really good Kim, you won't want to drive it looking like that.

Get a slantback like a HMMWV!!!

Looks amazing Kim. Many congratulations!

Looks amazing, IMHO 110 Double cab is the pinacle of Defender ownership, has it got air-con or just an air-con front grill? Only downside with air-con is the handbrake lever making your hand hit the bottom of the dash.

 

[HopefullySoon]

Are you putting a private plate on northern Ireland style ... LOU XXXX ? Just an idea if you hadn't though of it

And I ment rosis landy , not yours with eyeballs lol

Yeah I thought so, not the most practical but it looks amazing!
Yes it has air con too. Also has heated front and rear windows, electric windows and heated leather seats.
Some will say it's not a proper Land Rover but I don't care. I'm going to use it for towing a bit and wanted a nice practical car also.

Yeah I have a private plate. looks good but the company I ordered it from messed it up how I wanted it so I'll be complaining tomorrow!

I knew someone who spent ages putting different-coloured stickers on all their stuff, indicating who was to get what in an effort to avoid the all-too-often family disagreements which happen after the event.
