    Expensive Defender roll over

    Just saw this Defender on Pickles. I notice it's got one of my dual wheel carriers, a Mulgo pop top conversion and other mods.
    I hope nobody was hurt in the accident, and also covered by insurance, because it's gunna cost a lot to replace it to the same specs.

    Cheers, Murray

    I'm just speculating, but looking at that I wonder if anyone has ever told him about airing down.

    The quality of the accessories fitted would indicate some careful research has gone into the construction of that vehicle, doesn't look like a vehicle a tyro would buy/build.

    Just hope everyone was OK.

    Indeed, and as I said, I was speculating, based on first impression. I had a look at the site. The car has 102000 on the odo, so he's not new to it, and it's at Dubbo, so it's not like he lost grip on some rocky track in the VHC.

    Hope every one survived.

    It looks like it's been a well thought out setup and as others have said some serious coin to get it nice.
    I found this vehicle on Expedition Centre's face book page dated April 12, Expedition Centre - Home | Facebook

    Maybe not but I bet he knows a lot now about rolling down.
