My everyday work truck, fun truck, camping truck with a trailer
built from scratch by myself and a couple of boingy owning
friends as a camping trailer and utitlity trailer (Hauling
firewood and almost stuck in this pic). Land rover is pretty
much as you see it. 1984 2.25 diesel, heavy duty rocky mountain
parabloics, gay disco wheels with 7.50 AT tyres, pretty gay but
incredibaly useful roof rack that I was given when my dad sold
his boingy.
Trailer is built on series rear axle with polybushed front
parabolics and dampers from an abandoned project. All the lights
are series items too. When in camping mode, trailer has a sink
with electric tap, gas stove, swing away oil barrel BBQ on the
back, tarp anchoring points on the lid and its own battery to
run a fridge to keep the beers cool.

Yep very nice looking outfit, and will look even better all in
bronze green, need some pics of the trailer in camping mode
though ;-)

Thats good to hear Prof, glad its doing its job. :thumbs:
The roof rack made a good bed base when i had to strap a double
mattres to it a few weeks back. ;D Its is one of those stupidly
expensive Hannibal ones. It was fomerly fitted to my dads
expedition prepped but never used Td5 discovery and i got it
when he stripped it and sold it for somthing far too sensible
and euroboxy for my liking. :rolleye0012: Ive used the rack
properly now for carrying my work ladders and as a platform for
cutting some really tall hedges on one of the farms i work on.
Ile try and find some pics to post of the trailer in camping
mode.
