sj-pickup Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 hi, here are some pictures of my defender . it took me about two weeks to do the conversion. i must say, it is much more comfortable in the cabin now. most of the work is done, except for a few small things.

West4x4 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 That looks really good any more pics of inside the extra cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj-pickup Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 That looks really good any more pics of inside the extra cab? these are the only inside pictures i have. i used the truck roof, but as soon as i get a double cab roof ,i will shorten it .that way, i can use the linings. the seats are fitted so that they can be taken out without using any tools. i wanted to keep the middle seat ,otherwise i could have fitted the seats more towards the middle.

sj-pickup Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 how much extra legroom/space have you gained? just out of interest it all depends on how you mount your seat, but is is much more comfortable than before the cabin has been lenghtend by 30 cm.

Steve H Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I like that, I've always liked the round back extra cabs the best. 'scusing ignorance here, but is that an original Hi-cap back end or did you have to modify it? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'scusing ignorance here, but is that an original Hi-cap back end or did you have to modify it?Steve it is an original 130 double cab hi-cap back end. actually, except for the holders behind the cabin , no modifications are needed.the rear overhang is the same as by the 110 hi-cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Tonkin Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I love this! Excellent work I really like the 130 too. There is no way I can drive a truck cab so this really gets me thinking about how to get some space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
