She's a 110 with full ally sides but steel bulk head. Has a
decent tipping ram on it as well. I need to change the dampers
and fit an anti roll bar as sherrolls a bit lol

It's a nice looking truck that. Should be a decent workhorse for
you for a few years.
I wonder if we can talk Brian into letting us have a Land Rover
section? :P

They do say that youngsters can hide their true love for
something by being mean to it... Perhaps that could be the case
here? ;)
I've got to admit that there were some parts of Land Rover
ownership that used to bother me a lot. They do offer up
something that no jap truck can, but at the same time I often
used to wonder why they would break so much?! It's rarely a
major problem and is usually a cheap fix, but something used to
fall off of mine with such regularity that I got a bit fed up
with them. I've had several Defenders and all were the same. My
Ranger on the other hand has (touch wood) never broken down in
all the time I've had it. It's the most boring truck to drive
that I've ever had, but it works.
I do loosely keep an eye out for a nice crew cab 130 to appear
locally. I think if I found one I may buy it. The Land Rover bug
is a bit like HIV - once you get it it never goes away even
though there are lots of reasons to wish that it would! :D

Another way to increase load stability and reduce roll is fit an
airlift kit to the back. I did this with my old 300 tdi disco
and the difference was amazing. It used to spend aot of its time
with in the region of 3/4 ton of kit in the boot and a fairly
heavy nose weight recovery dolly behind it.

Nice truck, land rovers really look the part for tree surgery, i
still think about getting a 130 tipper then i drive my mates 110
and its not long in knocking that notion out my head :D
Ive own defenders and various series landies in the past and its
a given they break, my current hilux I've had for a few year has
190 thousand on the clock and never gives me a moments bother (
touch wood) mogs on the other hand����. hahah :)
Cool looking 110 though mate, good luck with it.

One of my clearest driving memories is in my old Defender pickup
on a trip down to Devon for my annual holiday. Seven bloody
hours on the M5... Stopping and starting all the way in the
holiday rush. It took my left knee most of the holiday to feel
anywhere near normal again after all that clutch work!
