    For the Fright Value alone it's worthwhile. Besides, best time to do it is in conjunction with said lock bits.

    Pity no-one ever designed and manufactured (kit or full) a totally one-piece rear door assembley, either side or top opening.
    I've seen barn-style replacements on a Classic, from memory it was an ex-Brit. Govt. armoured car, suitable glass all around, ballistic shielding and run-flat tyres. Must have had a terrible thirst !

    Not sure if its this one, but. MacNeillie - Armoured - Range Rover Classic

    This is what I mean... GALLERY - My Suffix A 2 Door Range Rover

    Someone-somewhere has done it in firbreglass.... so it CAN be done. classic range rover one piece rear tailgate in glassfibre | in Kinross, Perth and Kinross | Gumtree
    They did

    I can probably help you out with any accessories or gear you might need for the trip. We are opening the new TJM corporate super store in Kewdale on Monday, and it's set up to be a one stop shop for decking out a 4wd with quality gear.

    We can run you through a bunch of rooftop tent setups, dual battery options, lighting, UHF, suspension, fridges, roof racks and pretty much any kind of accessory you can think of.

    Sorry for the plug!

    Would be good to put a face to a name and be part of setting up your rig!

    Cheers,
    Jeremy
    But why? I've seen people up here on old tractors, camels, horses, pushing wheelbarrows, and in vintage cars. Still, having said that, we did 7000km over Christmas in our old Rangie and I was most disappointed that not a single person came up and told us we were crazy!
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    +1 to Davo our 2 Door has been our main car or 28 years and still the no 1 choice when we go away. It has run a 300tdi for the last 15 and don't think to use it. If still in doubt just ask yourself, hey it's a Land Rover and what could possibly go wrong, and you realise it's not worth worrying about and just go.

    Until I got my Vogue my 87 Hiline was my main vehicle. Did loads of trips from Alice all over the place. Never once had the thought that I shouldn't take it. Then again, the Rangie was a step up from my lifted HJ Kingswood ute which did all of my previous touring, including the Gibb River Road, Bungle Bungle, etc.
