Has any one ever grafted a back off a defender wagon onto the rear of a dual cab 130 to make a bigger wagon?
Does it fit?
Is it possible?

Like this 130 SW belonging to Daniel (Mulgo) on this forum (see banner adverts at top of AULRO pages)

It's nicely done too, but for mine I can't really see the point.

I'm pretty certain that someone has put one together with three rows of seats resulting in a seven door wagon.

Yes, it has been done.

West Coast of Tassie.

Also has retractable rail rail guide wheels front and rear. Runs as a tourist transport on the Wilderness Railway, but can also travel on the road.

the tassie one looks like it has an extended chassis so is longer than a 130. here's a photo of a triple cab 130 with a 110 roof:

Hi Frantic

The chassis has been extended and another rear end grafted underneath.

Hi All

I did some digging in the AULRO achives, and amongst the dust I found this.

I like that and for no reason which involves sanity, common sense or practicality !

One other thing is the finish quality. I got my sliders from daniel at mulgo and he had 2 lift tops under way, one was finished(with a roof rack to hold kyaks!:eek:) except for the correct pressure in the arms for the roof and another he was just starting. Both where done to an excellent standard that would be BETTER than the LR factory finish. The 6 door is a great idea and would be handy for me (although not fit in the garage) but in a wagon set up like mulgo with a cargo barrier. So if I manage to get out of bed on sunday(N/S sat night , 6pm-6am) you will see me drooling over both mulgo and the 6 door defenders. :D
