			Cab exstension defender 110 ute help
		
 
			
				
					I have decided to lengthen the cab on my defender ute. I'm after a little leg room and want to fit disco seats.   I currently have read post on doing it and it seems reasonably simple.  I have sourced 2 B pillars from a defender wagon and read other posts on how it was done. Sorry cant recall post. Question what is the recommended length. Im thinking 150mm using 75 x 50 box for simplicity. Seeking any advice or helpful hints.  Thanks

					Hi Bazzle, you mention a disco ute. Is this what you meant or are you talking Defender ute? Cheers , 130man.

					Your heading is a bit confusing if you are extending a Disco. I extended my County 110 by 150mm give or take, I reversed the brackets on the chassis, that was the easiest. I would think you could custom to whatever is possible.

					Hi Bazzle, I did my own cab extension on my county which was well worth it, 130man will vouch (if it is a real word?) for that! If you would like to give me you email address I can send you some photo's through of how I did it. Tim

					Hi Bazzle, I can certainly vouch for Freestylers cab extension. Very neat. My own vehicle  came with an extra 150mm or so and it makes all the difference. My cab has a small window in the extra panel on each side of the cab which Tim did not do. He feels it is not necessary but I find them quite useful. My roof is a combination of two single cab rooves which maintains the "original" look but Tim created his own using a SWB roof , I think ,which is a great solution, so much easier than what was done to mine. My cab extension also did away with the proper door pillar which is not good and I would certainly recommend using the door pillars as you intend. Tim did this and his cab is noticeably stiffer in the door lock area than mine. Cheers,130man.

					Good day from South Africa!
 Bazzle218 are you done with the build? Im getting all the parts needed to start the cab extension of my 110 pickup. If it is possible to post some pics of your build it will be much appreciated. I have searched everywhere but dont get much pics of these builds!
