U1300l Camper Conversion |

I�ve really just completed the first job of the very long |
|
list.... replacing the awful driver�s seat with a nice comfy |
|
one. |
|
My wife & I both think our Land Rover Discovery is the most |
|
comfortable vehicle we�ve ever owned, so I got a leather |
|
Discovery 3 seat from eBay & fitted it today. |
|
It was effectively just a task of constructing an adapter frame |
|
to accommodate the different bolt positions. Despite all the |
|
measurements, I did end up chopping 40mm off the height once I |
|
tried it, but I�m delighted with the result. The electrics are |
|
not wired in yet, but that�s because I need to install a 12v |
|
inverter for a number of additions I plan to make. |
|
Here�s some pict of the frame and the fitted seat.... |

Love the hatch on the military Unimog but it does make it |
|
difficult to mount radios 😀 |

Made some progress with the electrics over the last 2-3 weeks |
|
and how have a couple of 12v circuits up and running, installed |
|
beneath the glove box. |

Joined my old club (strictly for Land Rovers) today up near Rest |
|
and be Thankful to see how the old girl coped on frozen ice & |
|
snow. A great day out & lots of admiring looks from the LR |
|
owners.... |

I do like the front grill when it�s the same colour as the cab |
|
it modernises them 👍 |

Just collected this winch bracket from a local steel fabricator. |
|
Took delivery of a Warrior Samurai 20,000 lb winch a few weeks |
|
ago in order to take all the necessary measurements. Passed |
|
these on the the local company and for only �225 I have this |
|
beautiful piece of engineering. |
|
Will post additional photos as it gets painted and fitted. |
|
I�m undecided what to do with the towing pin at the front as |
|
this will prevent the pin being dropped in from above. One |
|
option is to get a high tensile bolt which I can insert from |
|
below. Any thoughts...? |

|
Is yours welded on or bolted on the bolted one can be turned |
|
upside down and a retaining pin chained on it, the bolt idea |
|
works or you could weld two recovery eyes to to your new winch |
|
mount, I see your using the original implement mount bolt holes |
|
I�d be be tempted to run two plates down the sides. I�ve seen |
|
winch mounts pull of the front of Unimogs in the past on my own |
|
machine 😂 |

Finally managed to get the winch bolted onto the mounting plate |
|
and the plate bolted to the chassis at the weekend. Still have |
|
some final wiring to do before I can test it, but I�m fairly |
|
pleased with how it looks.... |
