Thread: 130 DC and 110 Wagon Heights

Let's get to the main point - yiou getting a Defender mate ?

Not sure if it's a Defender or the coiler before it, or even if you can call it a 110 / 130 (or some other wheelbase?) but if I do get it it will be an interesting beast!

If I tell you any more I'll have to shoot you!

But not this Nov 2010 post 130 DC and 110 Wagon Heights (I thought we are supposed to do a search before we make a new thread - but maybe I'm just anachronistic! )

Now after the hijack things over, do we have confirmation of the roof height of a standard dual cab long one?

You surely don't expect people on this forum to start at the beginning of a thread do you

Hi,

I measured the static unloaded height of bog standard 1995 130 dual cab at 2.15m, with a tape measure, to highest point of roofrack.

Then very carefully and studiously avoided anything less than 2.2m, and cleared swingle bars at entrance every time.

Including the several times that I have bashed the rear roofrack off, even at places marked as 2.4m! It's sometimes been on a ramp, and on one memorable occasion, a low hanging s-bend. Luckily, no sprinkler heads so far. And, usually, by the time I am about to get caught, it is way way too late to back out.

I am now wary of places marked at 2.4m or less, which is most undercover carparks where I go.

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks Andy

What is the height from the top of your roof-rack to the top of your roof?

The problem is that the car park at work restricts staff access to the 2m clearance side entries until 09:00am after which entry via the main 2.25m (public) entry is allowed.

Note the car park is listed as minimum clearance 2m but that only seems to be at the underside of the security shutters on the side entries, except for one location when a stormwater pipe crosses one corridor. Everywhere else the lowest anything gets is 2.25m, although I haven't measured the boom gates themselves. I have taken my SIII mil FFR in via the main entry without hitting anything. Think the SIII is 2.070m tall on the rear hood-bow.
