I know wot you mean mate if it's you daily like your and mine is they are expensive toys iam trying to talk the misses
into getting her self a runner around
the second front bumper is cool mad max ish and the rear if you could build a towbar into it I would have one off you but not for the chop
just to replace the chrome one and the towbar
but would you not pay more for a jeep than wot you could sell yours it's just the front end articulation on the truck if it had a better front end they would be sound bud

I'd vote for the silver bumper

It is my daily but it's only 7 miles each way to work. They are an expensive toy but I didn't pay anywhere near the market value so after 3 years of use I still stand to make a tidy profit. I'd estimate it to be worth around 5k? So if I could get that for it I could afford a jeep and a car for the missus once we've sold her car too.

So after another trip out laning, Shropshire this time, the truck again performed great. However with the whole family, dog, picnic, coats, changing bag for the little one etc etc the cab felt more cramped than ever. With the leaky cover the tub is only good for things that can get wet and dirty not useable stuff for the family so I'm seriously but loathingly considering selling up for maybe even a Disco (still looking at whats about as I dont like following the crowd). I hate this question but what do people think my truck is worth? I've got a figure of around £4.5-5k in my head but I've seen some higher spec ones recently struggling to sell... What do you guys all think?

don't sell it!

get a hard top and you will be sorted

Had a hard top and it looked like a van.. The dog was too cold and mardy with it being so noisy and it also leaked...

doh u gotta get what ever works for you mate

Yes, I do love this truck and the fact that its not what everybody else uses. It's proved itself to be extremely capable on every trip I've been out on, it's just the useable space that frustrates me... Maybe I should look for another canopy and tigerseal the crap out of the join and toughen the dog up...

why not no reason for the canopy to leak mate, you could always run a decent power supply to the new canopy and get a wee ceramic heater for it when its really cold, good for the dog and any wet/damp gear u may have

My canopy had a slight leak that I couldn't ever seal, I bought a couple of big plastic tubs for stuff that needed to stay dry and bungied them in place.

I'm still not 100% decided what to do but I think I'm going to put it up for sale and see what happens.... Do you guys think that £5k is a fair asking price? 96k miles, well looked after by fleets before me, cam belt done, recent top end rebuild, and the extras I've added....

I would say that's fare mate but would put it up for a bit more then you have more room to get knock down
I know we're your coming from they are not practical with out a canopy no space but like you I like the truck look
does yours have a rear diff lock and normal easy select
I would us as a selling piont better off road using diff lock and all that type of stuff

P'S GIVE ME YOUR BASH PLATES
PRITTY PLEASE LOL

No diff lock just easy select and a really tight LSD in the rear. Tell you what @paul hoolie buy my truck and the bash plates come for free...

Howz the truck/cv boots with the strut spacers any problem now they bin on for awhile

No problems as yet..

Ok I've done it, the truck is officially for sale... I've put out some ads on various Facebook groups, one guy seems interested but i think he could be a dreamer (says he's got a landy for sale and wants a pickup).. I'll leave it on Facebook and spread it about a bit for a week or so before I put it on eBay, don't really want to pay eBay fees to sell it on there if I can help it...
