    As your own 130 is in good nick mechanically......if it were me I'd gather together the bodywork I'd need to convert it to a crew cab and then one weekend invite some really good mates over to help me do the swap. That way, I'd not be dealing with a "new" vehicle with possibly an unknown or unguaranteed service history, and I'd get the bodywork to suit my needs.

    But perhaps I am just being old fashioned.....

    Oh, also, I had a mate in Cooktown about ten years ago who had what sounds like just the sort of vehicle you need. I think he sold it or something. No idea where it is now.

    130 tdi crew cab

    Gosh, only now do I realise how fortunate I was. Bought a 1996 130 tdi dual cab with aluminium canopy fitted, dual battery system, HR heavy duty towbar and heavy duty bullbar with twin quartz iodide spots fitted. Has done 280k but full maintenance record supplied. Had it totally checked by local fundi and landed up replacing some seals, windscreen, exhaust and timing belt and tyres - total cost $11800 for vehicle and repairs. Compared to the 4 cyl petrol version I had in the 70's, this is a dream.

    Haven't heard the word Fundi in many years! Did you spend some time in Kenya? It is Swahili for teacher/expert....

    You are old fashioned. But not necessarily in this instance.

    His wife probably didn't like it.

    Though he probably panicked and sold it when he didn't need to. I can't imagine a time when selling a Land Rover would not be a mistake....

    Wally,

    Will PM you something that might be of interest.
