Ahh thank you! Thought about it a few times. Front light guards easy, can go in one of the top or bottom fixing plates.

If anyone here would like anything ive made ping me a message can sort something out!

for me i seek out non logo'd stuff, cant stand advertising at the best of times, let alone if i paid for the item. I guess its the let me pay your company to advertise your stuff thing.... i prefer stealth and mystery, makers marks on the inside so ya know its genunine but not shouty lol but thats just me

In fairness I often so do the same apart from the Empire sticker but I like to show that off

look foward to see what you do with the rears if thats on the list!

Thinking about it! Just not sure where to go with the design

Square design easier than the circular single type.

non equalateral triangle type thing could work......

These where some initial ideas from others. Tweak the design to make mine more.

I like the ones in the 110 pic, they could work well maybe with a single matching mini for the top light above etc but following the angles and design on your repeaters, i would not be too fussed about protecting the number plate light, so this could work for both sides. just a thought

A L shape would cover all the lights
Same design for both sides

Think they been done in round bar,vertical.
Do same design as fronts with fold round tops & sides.

My lights are different & no standard light guards fit

What ones have you got? I expect I could make something to suit.

I will have a look and drawing an L shaped with with the same detail as the front. Might look quite good

These based off a series 3. Had to chop the corners off to go over the lip so to sit flush.
Also I have added extra light to each side so have 2 fog & reverse lights.
Only 1 fixing as tapped into the thick cappings.
There is not much room down the edges on a Hicap
These were only fitted so there was less for the 15YO nephew to damage while learning to drive

Ahhh I see! Tricky to make something without having it here to check against!

Since I got the 110 ive wanted utility sides. Just looks much better imo, especially as ive removed the boot seats and no plans to ever refit.

But 110 van sides are very expensive and a fair bit of work to fit.

S3 88" sides fit and are cheap but trying to find and un battered set is difficult.

Chatting to some mates and seeing as I dont do as much extreme off roading anymore...

Panoramic sides! They would blend in perfectly with a black 110 and give that USW look but cleaner. Be some what protected by the cage anyway.





Less to scratch and less to polish too looks super clean and modern to me.

From videos looks very easy to fit as well.

VGS obviously the best but just shy of £1k for the set, rather expensive especially if I need to replace a side...

SP4X4 £530 included a heated rear door. Half the price so thats a huge bonus.

Just need to find out what the difference is. Both have the same dot ratings bla bla so ahould be fine.

Could very well come from the same place and just vary in cost.

Had some more thoughts!

So the pano glass could be fairly vulnerable when off road so I thought I could make some window guards that clip onto the rollcage!

Then to add functionality I can design it to fold down and act as a shelf or table, like the below.

Be fairly easy to have a couple check straps.

Only went and did some off roading!

Went to Slindon Safari, only 40mins from me. Sadly didnt get many pics or videos as shortly after we arrived the drivers side CV started clicking its tits off...




Slindon was fun though, nice site. Very open with mixed difficulty. Will definitely return!

Did manage to misjudge a turn on a hill, went straight down a huge rut bumler first bank had it not been for the D44 bumper I would have done ALOT of damage. alas not a scratch!

Ordered a pair of new shafts & CVs, just Britpart they last well on my old 110.

So will change the drivers side asap and do the passenger side when I do the axle swap.

Also found some play in the steering shaft UJs so new one of those....

Finally sent the Ashcroft ATB core off to Nigel to be rebuilt. Pegged Ultrabuild of course! Once thats back the ATB diff I kept from the D2 can be fitted as well.

Got rather expensive rather quickly

Finally after, well during Slindon I forgot how much of a pain it is without front mudflaps! First bit of slop and mud coated my window, cant see anything. Roll the window down and yep slop in the door now...

No pics atm as still working on it but ive made some extended mudflap prototypes. Similar to the Gwyn ones but specially suited to my extended arches. Just going to use some 1 ply 5mm rubber.
