Fab looking truck! Very dangerous and aggressive look - the Gunbus name is coming together now Wink

With that sort of light output I guess you could even blinded the enemy before getting the guns out of the back Cool

Anyways, really good job so far!

Ok, just one pic. I wonder if the military would give me a 50cal turret for use as a permanent fixture?

That's OK on a 90 but for a 110 you really should be looking at something like this:

I am now trying to work out what mod would be best next...!


Maybe a highly secure Mobile Storage Systems Drawer to protect your guns and keep them discretely hidden away from any prying eyes?

Very Happy

I did look into this as an initial modification (all be it from one of your competitors) the problem I found is that with moderator fitted to the rifle there was not enough length in the drawer. You may have a size more suitable? I am also waiting on a new rifle so it may have a shorter length. I will check dimensions just now!

I'm sure we have a drawer big enough. We only use the very best stainless genuine SouthCo lock and 100% full extension Accuride ball bearing runners that are rated to an impressive 160kg. I've attached a photo of one of our staff members sat in one of our drawers as a better visual representation of just how strong they are. (Although he is not 160kg)





I've actually just thanked another forum member on his kind words about our drawers which he has had for 15 years without problem. You can see that here > http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic37808.html

The drawers come in a range of finishes and colours and if you can't find what you are after on our website give us a call and we will be happy to talk to you and discuss the possibility of a bespoke job built to the same standard as our off the shelf products.

Our phone number is +44 (0)1751 430318 if you would like to discuss the possibilities available (which to be honest are pretty much endless)

The design for the fixing of this is very poor in my opinion. It's mounted on a single bolt with a central clamp:

so every time you close the drawer the whole face of the lock pivots out by over a centimetre from the front plate. I wanted to remedy this by installing a small bolt in each of the four corners, but there is just not enough overlap of material to do this. In the end I settled for a single bolt immediately above the latch:

this stops the gap opening up on closure. If you wanted to improve your product - I'd look to this area first.

Barrel looks kinda small. I'm guessing .223?

Lovely looking 110 though. Keep up the good work :thumbsup:
