Childish Thread: Your dream Land Rover
Discussion
What would be your dream truck?
Would you like an old pristene series 1 or a fully modded snorting V8 90?
How about a dakar spec Bowler Wildcat, or a 4 wheel steer rock crawling 90 with 40 inch tyres? Maybe a County 110 with full leather interior, aircon, deep pile carpets and heated seats?
Or does a basic military ligtweight rub your rhubard?
My daily driver would have to be something along the lines of this:
100" extra cab (like truck cab but with a foot or so extra room behind the seats and the rear bulkhead moved back to give some internal storage space).
2.8 TGV powerplant.
Autobox.
Rear roll cage (doesnt go all way over cab).
Recaro electric heated seats.
Full interior overhaul including centre console with integrated cubby box, full carpeted interior, roof console etc.
Total rebuild to make as waterproof and soundproof as possible.
Side hinging rear tailgate with spare mounted on swing away carrier.
Safari Snorkel.
My off-road special would be something a whole lot different - maybe a bobtailed Disco (looks good when done well..) with 4 wheel steer, internal rollcage and other silliness.
Maybe a 6.3 chevy smallblock as fitted to overfinch P38s too...
Anybody else have a dream they'd like to share?

I was contemplating building a 90 to Tomb Raider spec (not the one Land Rover sell but a replica of the film one) had everything all specced up but just don't have enough space to fit two 90's (would be buying an old one and a galvanised chassis).
Wish I'd kept my old one now, so we have...
Bonatti Grey 90 CSW with air conditioning
Galvanised chassis
I'd like a 4.5 Rover/TVR V8 with R380 box ideally but economically a 300TDi would be ok
Scorpion Racing Extreme Suspension
Underbody protection, steering guards & diff guards inc
Full Safety Devices external cage with light mounts on front and mountings for roof rack.
Floored roof rack with drainage holes.
Roof Tent
6 x Wipac Spotlights (4 roof mounted, 2 on the bull bar)
2 batteries on a split charge relay.
Black 8 spoke wheels with BFG MT's on.
Warn 9.5XP on a nice chunky winch bumper with 2 recovery points.
Try and source the bull bar used on the TR Landy.
Rock Sliders
Wing top, rear 3/4, in front of wheel arch and rock slider checkerplating.
Safari Snorkel
And as with Jackthedog...
Cobra bucket seats (not heated)
5 point harnesses.
Full interior overhaul including centre console with integrated cubby box, roof console, bulkhead removal etc.
Total rebuild to make as waterproof and soundproof as possible.
Side hinging rear tailgate with spare mounted on swing away carrier.
And a mountney steering wheel
I think that's about it
