western Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 so that's why your 110 is up for sale, never seen a double cab Ibex like that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I like Ibex vehicles, I just wish their website wasn't stuck in that horrible "Shockwave Flash is the best thing ever" period of the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yella 90 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 good to see the new owner is on here, you had that off my friend. was it easy enough to get it off the ramps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Current plans are 200tdi/lt77 not sure whether it'll be a disco or def box it depends on prop lengths I have all these so choice was easy. Probably rover front and Salisbury rear on fairly standard suspension as again I have these and this truck will be my daily driver. I'm going to build some sort of box on the back use one one of my dashboards and freelander seats. Colour is not yet confirmed this truck will be IVA'ed and is planned to take about a year to build.

miketomcat Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 The windscreen hasn't been cut out to full size yet but there is something like 2" box under the aluminum there. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Sorry, Ibex are Marmite iccky . Nowhere near as attractive as your Tomcat! Nice timber framed garage though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Not my garage though as for the ibex/tomcat thing the trouble is you can't get two kids and a wife in a tomcat . Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Sorry, Ibex are Marmite iccky . Nowhere near as attractive as your Tomcat! I prefer the looks of ibex 1's to ibex 2's, always liked JJ from frogs islands old one. Nice timber framed garage though!! I like the green oak frame lined in Chipboard!

MECCANO Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Lucky sod, i think i saw this to... but new i would never get it passed the misses.<br /><br />Is it heavy?<br /><br />I take it all the glass is stock landrover parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Trust me my misses added strings. Weight wise it's about the same as a fully tricked up truck. As far as I know all the glass is special but it is all flat glass so easy to get. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I prefer the looks of ibex 1's to ibex 2's, always liked JJ from frogs islands old one. Mine is actually a mk7 though I believe mk4's never made it into production as to the differences I won't bore you with the details sorry I'll take the anorak off now. I think I've been reading to much. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
