Hey guys, How easy is it to extend the 110/130 chassis to lets say maby a 190/200 ?

Cheers

fanatic · Feb 13, 2010

why? as long as strengthened anything possible

Difficult i would have though. I have seen a 150, in one of the Land rover mags but never a 200

It will have a turning circle about the size of a bus, but i think your biggest problem will be it wanting to split in the middle!

Good luck... Will be interesting if you attempt it

Remember to post some pictures up

hmmm this is intriguing... wonder what hes doing that for??

I think your best be would be to get in touch with someone who builds stretched Limo's for some advice?

fanatic · Feb 13, 2010

SVA anyway, but the main point would be to spread the loading away,from joint

You hit the nail on the head there, Im a Limousine operator and hate hummers by far and VOSA have but the IVA rules so high and importing new limousines is becomming more and more impossible,

Being a Defender lover i want to show the Hummers a thing or two lol.

Just looking for some advice on extending the chassis and strengh, there perfect for it as the body just sits on the chassis its less concern about cutting the thing in half lol.

If you could get a spec of 150 chassis you would have a good starting point.

Thank you for that link you pointed me in the right direction found the maker who streatches them to 180

the chassis of a defender is two C sections welded together , if the cuts on a 110 chassis on the flat part and evenly overlapped strengthened between the two ends, with two straight lengths , i dont see the problem , worth a go

Cheers, My idea was to streatch it and also add another rear axle as a dead axle on for the the weight, Me thinks the TD5 engine may be best for the car i hate to see the MPG on the 2.5TD engine with the extra weight

90truckcab · Feb 13, 2010

or a 200 tdi, ? but i could agree with at td5

90truckcab · Feb 13, 2010

go fer somethin german or jap fer the engine but dont tell any one i said that ,

Plynch · Feb 14, 2010

ior while im at it put a hummer engine and defeat the point of the british landy limo

90truckcab · Feb 14, 2010

keep it british mate, im all for it , but dont moan about the mpg then

Plynch · Feb 14, 2010

Haha fair do's. It really cant be any worse than about 20mpg from my 8 seater lincolns lol.

90truckcab · Feb 14, 2010

i got 9 mpg out of me old series , so after a rebuild im hoping fer better

Plynch · Feb 14, 2010

Im hoping that was a petrol one lol. I fancy a S3 my self but i must say i like the first gen defenders most, I hate the new ones, What where they smoking when they put that frog eyed dash in and transit engine

90truckcab · Feb 14, 2010

series 2 petrol mate, yeah i have a really early 90, love it
