Did think that when fitting it! It’s also the right size for my PSE Compound bow

Great idea with the dynamo rings, so easy to secure with a chain or cable lock for security too. There are so many good ideas on this build!

So, another day another job. Stainless rear side locker. Gave it a good Dinitrol & added a stiffener to the bottom of the box to make it a bit more ridged. Pig of a job to do..

Such a great build, currently looking for ideas to convert mine into a camper, might pinch a few of yours at a greatly reduced budget
 spending far too much on the mechanicals first!
Did you get the rear outdoor locker made or is it ‘off the shelf’ from somewhere? 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html 2014 Discovery 4 SE Tech Instagram @the110camper |

The rear side locker is Safari equipment & readily available.

So, side locker was troubling me as there’s going to be a fair amount of weight in there so made a quick bracket up in stainless to give it a tad more strength of the chassis. Use these little spray marker paint to Mark the holes through the chassis great & very useful.

Click image to enlarge Another thing that has needed doing is the removal of the LR rear plough for a nice Safari Equipment 2” receiver ( had to make some custom mounts for the parking sensors out of a bit of stainless) |

Looks very smart and practical. I like it. Spray marker is good idea on that tub mounting. Cheers
