    Ex-Military Tarp/Canopy

    G'day fellas, finally found a place where people have Real 4x4's I have an ex-military 74 series 3 and mainly use it as a tractor around the block, I was thinking of getting it road worthy and was looking for a camo Tarp for it to match the paintwork, dose anyone know where i could get my hands on one? (Dont want to be jumping the fence at the local Army base thou)

    Attached a few photos from a Rum fuel'd night of Dam driving, pulled the plugs, spun the crank, blew out the water and away she went again, you cant stop the thing

    Those camo canopies are actually for the 110 land rover, not your 109 inch one. so they are an inch longer (ish). They come up for sale on e-bay occasionally, and tooles in wodonga did have some, but they were pretty worn.

    You need to come down to the REMLR section, and tell us your chassis number so we can give you the old girl's army rego number

    Welcome Tai,

    I have had an excellent quality ex-military canopy made by Red Rocket in the REMLR forum for my 79 S3 109". One of the options he gave me was to opt for camo canvas, so I'm guessing he could make one for you.
