Please note - no Defender was harmed during the filming of this project. The sparks you see in the paint are a reflection

Well I braved the elements on a 160 mile round trip in the v8....

... to find that (although the hood had arrived 2 weeks previous) they had ordered the wrong hood..

Here they’re finding who is to blame.

Anyway, we carried on regardless...

Everyone makes mistakes, it’s why they put rubbers on pencils.

Greeni, do you think your hoops could be (relatively) easily modified to a 110DCPU tub? Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Is it just the rear tub you are wanting to do? If so, it is just the top connecting rails that will require shortening. From memory I'm sure the tub area of a double cab is shorter than a 90 tub.

Yes, rear tub on a DCPU. Can’t work out if it is easier to buy (from SD?) and adapt, or have made from scratch? But I’d like something more robust that standard hoops so that I can eventually put of roof-tent on... Monsieur Le Grenadier
