draw and a cargo barrier is the main thing........just trying to find out about these now


and just need to make a mount for the thoughbook to fit in to run the gps software

then the only other thing i would really like to fit is a tyre pressure monitor

and the rest is just protection stuff such as rock sliders steering guards etc.....

Very nice! That design is about 95% towards what I want - which I am increasingly thinking does not exist so it may be time to dust off the pipe bender.

Interesting that the main A-bar is bolted on but Phil decided to weld the side struts. I wonder how a modified design would go with all bolted connections. I like the way that your design allows you to keep the original bumper. I would also drop the A-bar diameter a tad and make it just that bit higher and stick out a bit less. You have got me motivated to do something in this regard - thanks.

he made it a tad lower so you can see the defender sticker. ones the new ones how ever dont have the defender sticker like the TD5.....

if the A bar was any closer the lights would not fit in........

Interesting - so they are just sitting there? Do they rub on the bumper?

Nice thinking - maybe you should get a Defender badge since the space is still there and they seem to crop up on Fleabay periodically.

Makes sense too.

[solmanic]

Aaaaahhhh - from inside the bumper channel? - very neat.
