Stock Defender 110 height?

[Tony2]

Any info or links that specify the height of a stock MY09 Defender 110 Station Wagon ?

I'm prepared to dig up the concrete carport if need be

Thanks,

It looks like it is 2020mm....my carport is 2050mm.

Might have to let the tyres down !

redbook.com.au says 2021mm for an 09 model.

Yes, I allow 2100mm.

Mine is stock (shut-up JohnR & Scallops) and the measured height is 2040mm, but I never go into anything under 2.2m. You've got to allow for the fact that the back is square and can kick up a lot more than 2040 when going over ramps.

Any realistic solutions....I only have 2060mm max to play with.

Overhead is a wooden beam....
Underhead is the concrete hardstand....

I can see some power tools coming into play.

Do I have to stay with the Pajero....

Thanks for all the replies,

I'd get a vehicle and physically test it. If the ground is flat then 2040 goes under 2060.... just. My car port only has about 30mm to spare. You just have to get over the heart failure the first time you drive in.

Then consider how much you're planning on accesorising the vehicle. You may be going to lower it by a few mm - unless you're planning a lift in which case, hire a bobcat.

Chances are you could replace the wooden beam with a steel beam of lesser depth.

No don't.... not the Pajero

One Defender parked outside is worth Two Pajeros in the carport.

If the entry to the carport is level so that the Defender can enter fully horizontally then you'll be ok. One solution is to carry a load in the back. A couple of bags of cement might just tip the scales in your favour.

Thanks all...some useful suggestions for sure.

If all fails...put in low range and "make room"....I think the carport will "give" before the 110.

...and I was only kidding about the Pajero.....
