Thread: Puma 130 rear seat box

Does the puma not have a lift of top like the earlier ones??

Mrs hh

No it doesn't and I didn't think the Td5 had either.

I know there is at least one Puma with a box fitted getting around in South Australia but don't have any details.

hmmm well our's has the removeable top like every other 130 defender I have seen...a latch at each end, top comes off and you can fit all youre spare parts in there for a long trip...our seats are usually removed for a long trip anyway so easy access

Unfortunately Mrs HH it's one big box with no openings, but it sounds hollow. I was wondering if I could shove a fuel tank in there, but a big parts and pole box could be good.

well next time you see us have a look at ours didn't realize they dropped the opening in the top, wouldn't be to much hassle to change I would suspect

I had a water bladder made to measure for the storage area, with the filler located under the single fold up seat. I guess you could stick a fuel tank / bladder in there also.

Welcome to the forum Darryl

Yep...you can squeeze a 60 litre water tank in there.....I have just done so. My 300Tdi has a an opening on the top of the box.

Here are some pics I found on another forum, but gives you an idea. This is from a TD5
