DefcoL Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi everyone... especialy the experts on this site I am thinking of bobtailing my 110 commercial 200Tdi. But before I go down that road I would like to get your advice on: * 110 V 90 * what would be the best config for susspention/ bushes/drive train/cage/rear winch/boots ect.... * best places to buy the parts from * Are there any good reasons against this? my reasoning for project is: * gain better ingress/exit * have been told long wheelbase is more stable * Also informed that LWB is better on hills * I wish to retain rear lockable Cab * I assume that it is fairly straight forward. Many thanks Lawrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Lawrence This is what I am planning to do to my 110 next year. If you do a search around you will find some pictures and info on what has been done to it. I find a 90 to small but others find them fine. Its each to their own. As for rear winch, I am going to make my own rear cross member and mount it into that. Moving the tank to under the rear floor rasieing it up above the tank. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael calvert Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 if you're going to the hassle of moving the tank why not aquire a cheap 90 tank (i have two) and fit them under the seat box where they'd go on a ninety - more standard and less to go wrong plus part availaillity if you ever wanted to replace anythign?

The reason for moving and keep the orignal take is to keep it standard. The probem with moving to a 90 tank is I can not on mine as where it would fit is the tank for the hydric winch. Also it is pron to getting holed with rocks. Putting a tank guard is possible, but adds to the cost. My plan is to place the 110 tank under the rear floor behind the rear bulk head. This will keep it out of harms way and keep all the standard parts. Just meens I lose a little floor space. The filler cap will be in about the same place as a 90 but higher and more to the rear.
