Taken the Plunge - Urban Truck 110 Expedition Spec
As the title says

Following numerous phone calls, emails, phone calls back and emails back I have taken the plunge and ordered a 110 Expedition Spec from Simon and Lee at Urban Truck

I have to say that the service from Simon and Lee has been great with nothing being a problem, answering numerous emails and requests and also helping with some additional spec items that I asked for.

The next few weeks are going to be painful as I want it now !!!

To be fair to Simon he has called the vehicle across from LR so hopefully I may get some pre Urbanised pics this week and then a progress report as it gets pulled apart for its transformation

I am hoping that by sending it to finishing school aka Urban Truck it will turn up as it should and I wont have many of the problems that others have experienced!

Only problem left is deciding when exactly to tell the wife there will be a third Land Rover in the drive!

Mmm lovely choice!!! Wish I'd known about UT before I plumped for buying and customising my 110, they do some lively work.

Hope you enjoy it when it arrives Thumbs Up Thumbs Up 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon

I like the urban trucks and there pricing isn't as ridiculous as others

Well the double led bumper was too much for me for now, but was still considerably cheaper than the kahn version

Thanks for all the positive comments

Should get some pics later in the week so i will post them up for you to see

Been looking at quite a few over the past three months or so but couldn't make my mind up on final spec etc

Having seen all the adverts in LRO i started researching them all a bit more

I agree though their pricing is really fair, i know its a hell of a lot of money and there will be some that say you do all the modifications yourself etc

The way i looked at was: having seen what the other modifiers had on offer and what they charging, they were ridiculously expensive

I looked at the discount prices i could get from the dealers and then the parts i would have to add and the Urban Truck looked really good by comparison

The other issue i had was modifying a brand new truck that has a warranty

I am quite happy drilling and playing with my 15 year old 300tdi but i don't have the confidence to do it to a brand new one let alone the potential issues that i could end up with!

Was talking to my dad earlier as he loves driving my 300tdi, i think he is almost as excited as me about the new truck too lol

Hello JustStarting

Welcome aboard...OK you've got our interest, make the thread a good one, Very Happy
this will be almost exactly proportional to the number and quality of the photos posted,
together with any interesting insights picked up along the way...(so no pressure then).

A Stage by Stage transformation would be great, (ask UT to help).

ENJOY...
