Thread: Get your Defender in 4WD Action Custom Utes

could pu tmy old mans 130 up for nomination, '07 dual cab 130 fender with all 'off the shelf' after market goodies.

Find and supply me with a roof off a 130 then give us a weekend to fit it and you can put the turdis in your catalogue of toss as a modified dual cab, you guys would be making money from piccies of my car so why shouldn't I get something out of it

We'll need some detail of the mods and some pictures, but we're interested in anything of a LR persuasion.

If you can email details to david@4wdaction.com.au he'll be in touch.

So what is the incentive for a person to have a write up about their vehicle and it's mods?

It's like having your missus in a stick mag, do you really want every man and his dog knowing exactly what you play with? Sure they may have a basic idea when they stare with wanting eyes but some things should remain a bit of a mystery.

If there was some form of sponsorship or a small donation to the modification cause?????

I have some basic mod's and the bolt on panels on a 110 give the ability to convert a wagon to a dual cab utility in the matter of a weekend BBQ with a few spanner wielding maniacs. With the fact that the rego papers classify it as a ute with canopy, I could legally do it too.

So what exactly are you offering because the economics of such a write up seem a bit one sided from this side of the fence and it ain't my side?

What can I say Dobbo, many LR owner's like to share information and see the quality of their work appreciated by others. Who knows, if a top vehicle is featured it might just convince some of those who treat LRs as second rate 4WDs to reconsider.

At the end of the day, not everyone is motivated by what's in it for them from a financial point of view.

If this doesn't work for you then fair enough, all I can do is wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Oh I forgot the my knob is bigger than your knob syndrome, in reality everyone knows that anything bigger, brand named or more expensive is not necessarily better.

If your magazine is in it for love why does it cost so much? Always plugs for manufacturers and aftermarket companies. I realise you have to cover costs but seriously, the adverts would pay enough, afterall they take up a good 90% of the publication. If I have spent the money to build the thing up, why not get some kickbacks in an article that will be 95% blatant advertising plugs for your varied sponsors. It's not as if they won't see any sales out of it. A prize for the owners for their vehicle being in the magazine all flexed up showing it's goodies. Ever heard of a hard up uni student paying the bills by being in a stick book? What is the difference?

And the same to you, all the best and many happy returns for the new year.
