You saw the reply on 4btswaps? 6x6 with a 6bt is still going strong.

I did it .....



a sale of a dual cab 4x4 in Sydney fell through for whatever reason

and now its mine

normally a 5 month wait , I have 2 weeks , its getting delivered to Brisbane and I'm having 35" tyres fitted to 17x9 rims (no speed limiter) , Black alloy bar, HID upgrade, 3500 kg tow bar and then I'll drive it to Melb to build a body for the back.


Ive decided to build the box myself from coolroom panels and extrusions.

When I take possession I'll do a new thread on the build, thats if I'm still welcome here

might be some good ideas in this thread MK7 - Camper (Oh No it's a caravan!)

That looks just totally professional, I think mines more likely to look like a U-Haul box or pie truck , Anyway after just unloading my pockets its going to have to be totally DIY.

I got an idea from Sitec to make it a 3 point mounting onto the chassis to counter the not insignificant chassis flex on full axle articulation, current idea is to mount the body using defender trailing arm rubbers NTC9027 , two at the back and one in the center on the front of the box.

I'm looking forward to seeing your build thread, and especially to hear how you get on with the reliability of it.

I too looked at one, and was very impressed. In the end I decided upon another path (for which I might post up a thread soon), but I'll be following your thread for sure (should it eventuate).

For a start - whack up some photos so we can all take a look at it.

Cheers

not my truck but I had the opportunity to crawl under another customers vehicle today. When I get mine I'll take some pics with Defender next to it.


from rear looking forward to the transfer case, not sure why it has a DC shaft since the diff and tc flanges are in the same plane. A bit dissapointed no grease nipples on unis or props


front wheel local 17x9 option w 37x12.5R17 Hankook, have to love the approach angle.


looking up from the front, note transfer case is remote, prop at the top comes from the gearbox, bottom prop is heading for the front diff


front diff, bigger than a Salisbury


steering knuckle, runs a universal joint, on full lock you can look in the gap and see the uni, Its full time 4wd with a center diff but you cant feel it wobble around corners


looking forward, clearly see the parabolic leaf springs. bracket hanging down with the 4 silver nuts holds the front sway bar - thats goin in the bin.


spare wheel winch, the wheel / tyre is about 70kg


big hole on the right is the cabin fresh air inlet, there is a HEPA filter in there. = filtered clean air , thats something I haven't experienced before.
The tank is engine coolant, eek no red oat


the radiator and intercooler are all alloy, no plastic tanks, Intercooler is huge with silicone hoses, radiator is under intercooler , not stacked together,
transmission cooler and a/c condensor in front, big drum on left is the air cleaner.

it dosen't look easy to work on the engine, going to take some head scratching to disable that EGR,

Interesting pics. Thanks for posting.

Going to be a great project.

I've got a bit of info on insulated panels of you are going down that path. I'm using 45mm fibreglass panels with high density insulation in the middle, the same as they use in refrigerated trucks.
