anyone dundid a wide body defender?

similar in style to a Hummer or Perentie?

the perentie range (Oz army) were wide body and some were 6x6 as well just google it for pics etc HTSH

i know that - thats why i posted it. just wondered if anyone in the UK did.

if yu look at ehe bottom pic - that is a 6x6 Perentie

there is only one pic a hummer so sorry about that , AFAIK no one in Uk has done same , so thats not a lot of help is it ? Wouldnt take a lot to widen the chassis , you could prob use mog axles and get portals as a bonus Then just use two of the central panels and cut em both off centre to get the extra width , whats the advantage of widebody ?

One of my mates is planning on a 1 ton style body on his 90 wide wings and tray back but hasn't started yet . .

Someone did a wide bodied camper defender with 6x6 and a cummins, did a superb job as well

Here it is, I believe he even had the salisbury axles widened

That's awesome that is !, wouldn't even notice if not for the little flap in the middle

Saw one many years ago (mid 90's I think) and no, it wasn't a Perentie.
Done by a garage just as a project, there was no need for wheel arch extensions as the body finished flush to the tyre edges (like on a Series vehicle) and the bonnet, windscreen frame, roof-panel (it was a truck-cab), rear-tub etc had been widened quite expertly as there was no seam to be seen (windscreen was a 1-off toughened affair). This differed to a couple of Lightweights fitted with RR axles that used to run around at the same time which just had strips of chequerplate covering the gaps.
