Surely it'll block your driving view and make the bonnet a pain to open due to its weight?

Kill joy :lol: :lol: :lol: ;)
If he wants to do it let him. you never know it might work :-.
And they do look cool on military landys :D

They do look cool on Military Defenders, your right.
It just sounds a bit of a strange thing to be doing with a disco. :-k
Each to their own, and all that ;)
SteveGoodz:
One of the reasons the current military Defender (Wolf) doesn't have the spare on the bonnet is that there wasn't enough room between the top of the engine and the underside of the bonnet to add bracing. It's not the only reason, but certainly one of them.
stuntman:
My thinking is because I can :twisted:
I've not seen it done, so I want to give it a go.
Just like everyone said I couldn't put a turbo engine into a volvo 240 and run high boost, oh but I can :-o :-o
SteveGoodz:
Anything is possible ... if you have the time, skill, patience and (often) money to solve the problem :D
muddyjames:
let me know the clearence with the play doh as I am intregued as when I jump onto the bonnet to get on the roof for vaious reasons I do wonder how far the bonnet flexes downwards to the engine.
and Im not joking! Roof rack says max 60kg on it, I am 61kg. Just avoid the sunroofs and should be fine. not had any mis haps yet!
