Thread: My Favourite 110 build I've found yet...

Both solid hawser and roller fairleads on the front with only the one winch?

Exactly.
And super duper illegal here.

They are contested in the UK. I personally don't think they are necessary.

Don't need window guards, even in remote areas. Not once have I felt insecure in remote areas.

As mentioned above, its going to attract more attention as it is than a stock white 110 so maybe all the protection IS needed

Sirocco have you been to PNG, SA, South America ect... you need window cages and it needs the windscreen cage (even though in this case i think the window guards are for scrub ect), hell even in Willcannia and community's like that id prefer window cages, plus they are removable so no big deal...

I admit i'm pretty new to land rovers but have always owned pretty tuff, heavily modified rigs like patrols, cruisers ect and driven with cruisers modified to a similar level to this in Australia and no cop has ever bothered me in a 4x4, except you have to change tyres in the city, because city cops don't like them sitting out the side and yes your insurance would be void but dont think it would be a massive issue just don't run someone over...

hardly ever see overlanding rigs with cages as extreme as that.

I would be more inclined to try to blend in more the stand out like dogs balls... but each to their own

your valuables can be locked away without making your car into a giant cage.

If some one wants it bad enough they will have it after all...


as for what the rig looks like.
I think it has stepped over the line from cool to over the top.

Almost every vehicle that's carrying non locals outside of Port Moresby, PNG has caging and a firearm better to be safe than sorry...

So I went back to look at the picture and the link and picture are gone

Had another look tonight and it is back.
Whats going on.?

If you look like you want trouble you will probably get it!

And that certainly looks like it is squaring up for. Fight.

If you rolled into an African village in that people would think an invasion was starting, if I was there I would think there was an invasion starting and hop in to my nice looking yet capable 110 and get out! Mine is relatively standard but I still sometimes wonder that it might look a little intimidating.

Ex military landies are considered a bit of a no go for trans Africa travel as they give the wrong idea.

Maybe it would be a bit better in baby blue or a subtle pink.
