Just about to step into the Defender world and torn... I would love to have a 90 pick-up but also want a lightweight tent box. Measurements are slightly bigger but not by much.
Anyone know if that is possible? Can I fix roof bars or something similar to the bed to attach the tent box to?
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Absolutely.... Is the frame bought or bespoke?

It’s not mine, although I have one similar. I found the image on the tinternet
I think it is based on the canvas soft top frame (but stronger). Simple over span base to the supporting bars, held down via clamps. So easy to remove when not needed.

Good idea... Will do some further research into that option

for the bars look up 'simply metal' in suffolk, he makes them and can do them custom how you want
