Landy Roof packing
Now that the gullwing doors are in, I am thinking of creating some packing space just below the roof - lots of wasted space there.

Basically the idea entails 2 shelves the width of the seats, running from just behind each seat to the rear frame. These would be situated above the top of the rear window frames - see pic, red lines indicate what I have in
mind.

The shelves themselves would be made of mesh-type material, and the space between the two shelves could be used to dry wet clothes & towels by hanging bungee cords.

Has anyone done something similar, and if so, can you provide pics/details?

Suggestions/ideas/tips would be most welcome, thanks!

Tried that with J-Lo on a dry lake bed in Morocco. Problem was when the vehicle started to lift the wheels leave the ground it looses drive and when that happens its slows down and lowers. A jet engine on the rack is the way forward I think, and possibly a longer wing attachments.

as i have a 110 hardtop i was also interested in the concept of the 'gullwing doors'
i found some alternatives in holland, Jansen Laro Parts, and they informed me the following:
*the alloy version is 285€ a piece (about 250£)
*the heavy duty steel version is 1085€ (about 950£) a set, available on special order only

the alloy version is in stock, and since i live only 20miles or so from their base, i'll go and have a look sometime next week. the price looks interesting for the alloy version, i'll keep you informed after my visit to this shop and maybe ordering/fitting them.

their website is www.landroverspecialist.nl, in their 'vehicles for sale' section is an orange/yellow defender 110 fitted with their version of the gullwing doors.

Thanks Erik, looking forward to your findings, is the price for the alloy versions for a pair or single?

If you fitted the gull wings upside down you could create your own Bar 90, handy for those summer evenings. Wink Rolling Eyes

Any word on how the version you've found have worked out? I'm coming through Holland in June on the Help for Heroes 4x4 European Rally so I might make a detour to buy a set!
