A Comfortable, dry, warm Trattor with a bulkhead that don't rot.
Is this the new Defender?

For many years the tratterers have been dissing our Freelanders to reduce them in price so they can buy them cheap. I've said it before... they want our Freelanders. Truth is out.

Ere, can yer count the teeth on the gears in yer ird if it's in bits and add the teeth counts to me fred? Need to know year, manual or auto and engine. Ta.

not mine I'm afraid - just a picture I gleamed off google

couldn't an overdrive type unit be modded to work on a similar way?

and - a set of 6 older transit 6 stud duallies have been aquired..... for a tenner :lol:

theoretically yes - but where would you put it? And they're typically pretty weak tbh

not sure where lol spose it could be upgraded for strength tho?, or maybe the principal could be used to redesign something? ( given you were looking at redesigning the casing and adding gears) - not that I know nothing about this stuff just used to have a spitfire with o/d ..

Steering would be a problem. You'd need to modify the arches to suit double wheels. I suspect they will foul the bulkhead too.
