Suspension setup?
smo:
Hmm, its swings and roundabouts really with this because if you blow a large wad on suspension you can possibly do without lockers for a large part, however the alternative is spend less on suspension and get lockers instead.
There is always going to be a compromise, i'm just not sure where or how yet!

Very true, how easy it would be if we all had bottomless wallets! :wink: :wink:
Have you heard about your Defender yet. If you need to sell your rear door seperately let me know as I'll buy it off you. :)
I saw your post ref bulhead and rear tub. Have you thought about doing a king cab instead?? You get more room for storing stuff etc that a TC and you could use your exiting roof and with some metal work in the tub the problem would be solved.
Also I don't know how tall you are but check that you like the room you get in a TC first before going down this route. A king cab may be the way to go.
You'll have no problem selling your rear seats, carpet door etc and I would recommend selling them on ebay, rather than LR forums for best price.
Cheers

If its for winch comps, then just spend the money on a very good hydraulic winch set up.

Cat D write off so i shall be retaining salvage and repairing her. I'll let you know when the door is up for grabs.
As for king cab, its somthing i am considering however i still need a rear tub, bulkhead and roof as mine is a bulkheadless CSW which is worth a lot more unbutchered!

I intend on going hydraulic with either PTO or engine driven pump but i want it to be good all round, not just build it specifically for winch challenges etc.
