Yep that's exactly what he's done there. and he's fitted mudstuff blindspot windows.

just out of curiosity is there a practical reason for wanting to do this ?

Suppose it's one less door for the chavs to break into. & the rollcage obviously gets in the way, if he left it as a full HT. It would look fooking stupid if he had a normal truckcab. But apart from that No I don't think you could justify such a ****e conversion.

i did the same sort a thing on 110 i ad,but i used a cut down hardtop using the original flat bak.i made a checker plate bulkhead for the lower part and a series top tailgate for the upper.

It allows you to keep coats, sandwiches etc dry and separate from wet and muddy tow ropes.

I would quite like one - as above really, great for just chucking stuff in the back, but also a slightly more secure area.

Although, i rekon neither areas are big enough, so you should buy a 110 double cab...

and that makes it worth doing ya think ?

I was just giving a reason for doing it, not saying I thought it a good idea. I agree with Boydy, 110 crew cab is a better solution.

The roof piece is easy, North Offroad do a rear end cap made of fibre glass. Once you know how much roof you need just cut your existing one to size and add the end cap to it.

Thats what I did.

Ade

that looks crap. i dont like the 110s that have a crew cab thing on either they look crap to ! 90s look a lot better with a hard top on and you got loads a room for your rubbish.
just my thoughts :behindsofa:

THAT is called a kingcab. would be better if it wasnt home made and came with suicide doors

if my land rove looked like that 90 in the picture i would commit suicide !
