Sorry Naf, not been on the forum for a while! Lots of work and lots of travelling/working on the 130. When I get the car back I'll have a measure up.
Since the last update I have done a few bits: - Wired up the Anderson connectors front and rear for use with my winch - Wired up a side Anderson connector for jumping the vehicle or charging off campsite electric hookups (permanent live) - Wired up the DRL in my headlights - Wired up a dashcam in the front where the rear view mirror used to be - Fitted a IBS split charge battery system and two Odessey batteries - Drawer system in the back fitted by tembob 4x4 - Wired up 12v sockets into the front cubby box, roof rack (for use in the roof tent) and the rear load area - Mounted my sand ladders on the side and uprated the gas struts to hold the extra weight Over the next few weeks I will be: - Wiring up 120W solar panel on roof rack - Wiring up rear LED work light (lazer utility) - CB radio - LED lights in rear load area - ATB diffs front and rear - Aux water tank - Aux fuel tank - Rock/Tree sliders - SS HD steering arms, drop arm kit (sumo bar) - HD trailing arms - Diff guards (not purchased yet) - Life hammer in front cab - Fire extinguishers front and rear - Double din dash - Reversing camera Think that's it! I'll put up a youtube video when everything is done I think. For now here is a picture of how she currently looks sitting on top of the Alps (taken last week):  Click image to enlarge There's loads more pics on my instagram @tab.travels on instagram Defender 130 2.2 TDCI Defender 90 TD5 80" CCV Trialer 4.6 V8 (14CUX) Stage One V8 109 - 3.5 V8 Stage One V8 109 - 4.6 V8 (GEMS) - in progress Range Rover L322 4.4 TDV8 Freelander 1 2.0 TD4 |

Hey MuddyChris300tdi! Errrr sorry, not been on the forum for a few years
 Been out using the 130, spent a lot of time off-roading around Europe. Was due to be in Morocco right now for a month but sadly that didn't happen for obvious reasons.
I finished everything on my list, and I just haven't really needed to do anything else, nothings gone wrong either (knock wood). Here's a few pics of the 130 as she is right now: Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge @tab.travels on instagram Defender 130 2.2 TDCI Defender 90 TD5 80" CCV Trialer 4.6 V8 (14CUX) Stage One V8 109 - 3.5 V8 Stage One V8 109 - 4.6 V8 (GEMS) - in progress Range Rover L322 4.4 TDV8 Freelander 1 2.0 TD4 |

Yeah absolutely love it mate, had it on the 130 outside for over a year and a half, probably spent about 4 months of those sleeping in it. Really comfy, still in great condition and nothing has broken, takes absolutely no time to put up or pack away. @tab.travels on instagram

Great thread and a stunning 130. I’d been googling on the best way to fit my new skycamp to the Hannibal rack on my 110DC and it threw up this thread ! In fact it was the only thread .
It’s arriving next week I hope and it looks like it’s going to be fun and games trying to fit it. If you have any tips or idea then I’m all ears . Also I’d like to adhere a slim 120w solar panel To the skycamp, have you done this ? Thanks Rich https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |

Is that an afn rear canopy?
I used gorilla tape around the edges after bonding my solar panel on with ct1. Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

[quote="Bluericky"]Great thread and a stunning 130. I’d been googling on the best way to fit my new skycamp to the Hannibal rack on my 110DC and it threw up this thread ! In fact it was the only thread.[quote]
I moved the roof rails on the Skycamp to fit between the slats on the Hannibal rack, then clamp it to the cross rails, really easy to do (I managed it!) 3 or 4 bolts in each rail. The only issue is there isn't room between the rack and roof to get your hand in to tighten bolts. So I had to lift the rack to make room. Easy enough, but does mean its not quick on and off. However, I have version 1.0 with basic bolt on clamps not the latest 2.0 quick release so don't know how this may change things. It's a great tent! I look forward to seeing some photos!

Hey Rich, sorry only just got round to replying to this! I had one of the very early models, and I was told that they were going to improve the design to accommodate horizontal slats on roof racks, so hopefully you won't have to do anything? Honestly I probably wouldn't go down the route of drilling the roof tent floor and moving the mounts again, I'd actually probably make up some brackets which go the opposite way to the roof rack slats and bolt the roof tent to that. If you do end up changing the mounts on the tent it's easy to do, just take them off, cut them in half with a hack saw and remount them in the right direction. Make sure you think carefully about where you need to be able to lopp things over the little eyelets and don't put the bars in the way of those, something you will notice I forgot to do when I modified mine (top and bottom right corner) Click image to enlarge Regarding the solar panel, I'm lucky in that with my 130 there's plenty of space to mount a solar panel on the roof rack without having to put it on the tent, can't help you there  @tab.travels on instagram

I think it's the AFN design but I had it made and fitted by Tembo 4x4 in the Netherlands @tab.travels on instagram Defender 130 2.2 TDCI Defender 90 TD5 80" CCV Trialer 4.6 V8 (14CUX) Stage One V8 109 - 3.5 V8 Stage One V8 109 - 4.6 V8 (GEMS) - in progress Range Rover L322 4.4 TDV8 Freelander 1 2.0 TD4 |
