Finally a great use for a Defender

[DRanged]

Got a Defender at home , dont know what to do with it??????

Well take the back off (get rid of the rest). Make a trailer out of it and put it behind your Classic RR
It will thank you for it.https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2007/11/117.jpg

It's a good bit of gear, seen it on the Levuka trip a few weeks ago.

Go the Rangie :twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twis ted::twisted:

Hey its got to match the Rangie, but at that height the tailgate makes the perfect kitchen bench top:cool:

There is always a method to my madness.

Great work Justin... always look good and love the clear lights and chequer plate to match the rangy :D

[incisor]

love it... always wanted to do similar.

thats the second one on the site in the last week or so is it not?

also, there is a series ii landy and a series ii tub based trailer that gets around the sunshine coast, always makes me look twice..

[sclarke]

Very nice, but would look better behind a Defender or County....

:D:D:D

Hey Justin, It looks good, although think how sweet it would look with the 2 door rear end behind the classic rangie

Great idea, Justin.
Only problem I can see is weight distribution :D
It would "fish Tail" madly at speed.

looked at your trailer tub when you first said you were doing it, looks good now,
not as good as a series lwb tub eh!
how is it for balance, mine was right on neutral even with the long drawbar, so i have put a jockey wheel up front and will extend it forward also. at neutral balance it was banging the tow hitch so much you would think something was falling off.

Mate with the 2 spares up front and the jerry cans it tows perfectly and my wife can disconnect it with no problems. Thats the beauty of a Defender tub. It gives you room to add extras up front without overdoing your towball weight.

With 2 spares and jerry cans you have about 20kg tow ball weight as long as you pack your load with a bit of thought.
