Thread: 130 dc on a 110 chassis

Hi Fitzy, since Land Rover actually make a 110 DC I reckon the chances of everything lining up are good.Cheers, 130man.

What about the fill in part of the 130 cab where the rear wheels will go on a 110 chassis ???

The 110 dual cab is actually with a styleside ute, or more accurately the dual cab 110 is just a 110 stationwagon with a dual cab roof and rear window panel with a fill in panel below the rear windows.

Just think 110 wagon, the doors are the same but the angled up rear corner only has a small trapesoid panel where the fill-in panel is on the 130.

Then think about the panel at the back of a single cab ute. That panel has to sit about the same space the wheelarch occupies.

If can be done but not as simply as you think. Just watch my Ikea 6X6 thread, we are about to do exactly the mods you are thinking about as the centre axle is in the 110" position.

The 110 dual cab is a great looking vehicle, but the tub is not very practiclal.
I am looking at building a dual purpose vehicle, a 110 daul cab with a tray.
I have seen a few chops on 110's but if starting from scratch, factory fit would be preferable.

If you already have a 110 wagon, it would likely be easier to start off with that. What you would need to acquire would be the d/c roof and rear window/corners panel. Then cut down your 110 rear tub and make up a rear wall out of sheet alloy, a few angle iron sections and stick it together with Sikkaflex and a few pop rivets to hold it together while the Sikka cures. Top that off with the capping from the rear bottom panel of a single cab ute.

That way you don't have to make the chassis/body mounts.

The tray on the back won't be very big though!

I will be using parts from my 2 door rangie, 4.6 ,zf, 30% lt230, maxi's and other stuff, all the body and chassis will be from scratch.

Hi,
check your local regulations, ours are that the tray can only extend past the rear axle by 60% of the length of the wheel base.

cheers

You will find that a 100" Range Rover chassis will put the rear wheels in the same space as the rear doors of the 110!

It sounds like a big job to convert a RRc to a DC defender, in fact if I were to do that I'd actually be looking at how I could re-skin the RRc doors with the Defender profile, if only because the RRc has more shoulder and footwell space.
