I called these people up in UK and had a chat and they seem pretty genuine. This might not be any help for your situation, but just an idea.

Challenge Seat Package - S1064 - Interior - Defender 130 - Qt Services

Enjoy your Land Rover!

Cheers

Hey thanks Alan for the link. I had a look and will consider it.

IMO what would be ideal, and yes it would require a pro to do the fab, IS get the doors made the etxra length...push the back of the cab etc back and fab the new roof as you would anyway.

Its not just the leg room, but my shoulder rubs and my arm hangs out the window

here's a build with extended doors
Clicky
done with series doors though (the ones with removable tops)

To do it properly is a big, big job, but it is a lot better !

See mine here, which is now in the final stages!

Defender

If you want any more info let me know

That still happens in a dual cab where you can get the seat right back except your head now lines right up with the bolt for the seat belt

The link from BitDist was the one I was remembering:

How hard can it be !!

Awesome, Might be worth an email to see if they will make and sell the skin....could be cut down the the length required as I think 10 inch may be a touch to long for most. I know sliding windows not as good as wind up...but

Here is a tutorial on extending a normal cab to extra cab...

Great idea. I had thought of that also, but its really changing things then.
I guess I will have to do what 110 stationwagon drivers do and lean forward when wanting to see around the b pillar.

Just a follow up - there is someone selling an extra-cab for a Defender in the Wrecking section: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/wrecking-n...r-130-td5.html

...I will also have for sale the modified extra cab from an 1984 120 tray back, big new tray with canvas canopy, two front doors (same as county), set of 35" BFG KM2 tyres on 15" rims, and a heap of other stuff also.

PM or phone Andrew 0400 124456

Not sure if it of interest, but it might save you a lot of work.....
