    Hence the reason why I'm building my dream D100 - D110 chassis shortend, but not bobbed with auto and a nice V8.

    Why not bobed?

    Its so easy (for series, little bit harder for a defender), i will be doing my ute soon.

    What tyres will you be running?

    G'day Dave,

    I toyed with the idea of bobbed, but decided that I still wanted a good side rear tub and the ability to keep the standard tank where it was. I will also be running LPG via a scuba tank set up between the internal guards of the rear tub.

    Most people would then say about the bad departure angle of a D110, but my mate has a D100 not bobbed running 255/85 x 16 BFG MT and has not had an issue with departure angle yet.

    The tyres of choice would be Goodyear MTR in 255/85 x 16, but if I cannot get these then I will go 255/85 x 16 BFG MT.

    this is my inspiration:



    I know its not bobbed, but extra load space will be handy.

    That's a nice ute. Is that a 100" wheel base job?

    very cool.

    the main problem is moving the fuel tank. I will run twin 65litre sill tanks, which i will modify to follow the lines of the outriggers so they wont be bashed so much.

    I just find it to long and draging its bum all time.

    Your project sounds great though, 100inches is where its at.

    Maybe i can shorten my 109 when i coil it? hmm....
