Very nice Ian. Would look even better with the rear windows filled.
The more I see of these ‘Landy’ bodies, the more I want one, but I would be a dead man walking :dry:
Wonder if one would fit on the TF2??

Agreed

Ian, a couple of pics of a bog standard 90 FFR hardtop, this was in the British Army Training Area Suffield (BATUS) in Alberta. Hence the two tone paint job.
Sunbathing bloke on the roof optional.
Wire and chain tow rope around the bumper TUAAM box on the right wing with antenna fitted, and you can make out the mount on the left wing, about 2cm high.
A pretty good shot with the camouflage net rolled up and secured with a bungie on the roof.
I’ll try and find one of the back with the pick head, handle and shovel in the correct place. Newer Wolf Rovers have them on the front wing and bonnet.

Just noticed your shell has the Wolf front grill fitted, it sits forward about 3cm of the headlight panels. The 90’s have it in line.
How petty do I sound, lol. I’d be a nightmare building one of these myself.

well after missing the nats last weekend i decided to shell out a bit more on the gelande and came up with these
typical rc4wd the rear case includes the screw and the front dont :whistle:
some nice high clearance knuckles
and finally some xvd’s
thats it for the upgrades now
i have been working on light for it tooo so this is quite time consuming
this is the work so far
still a fair way to go

well the axle cases and cvd’s are fitted and while i was at it i thought i would try to do something different
so thanks to having too much time on my hands (6 days off )
i decided tofit a 2 speed trannyto be honest i thought it was going to be more trouble than it was the only things i had to mod was the interior a bit and shorten the rear top links
so here are the pics
so after that decided to get the electrics mounted quite pleased with where they go and should clear most water
more bits to fit later
thats all for now folks

Lookin good that. Alert though the coupling you have standing straight up form the gear change arm is too tall and will sheer that arm very easily if it finds that easier option.
I did it last night on my TF2
