Hello folks.
How easy/expensive is it to convert a truck cab 90 to a standard hard top,
and are the necessary parts pricey. I would go for second hand parts not
new.
Cheers

With an 88, all that's required is to remove the spacer behind the seats and
then bolt the other roof on. You need to use the same bolts, plus two more
long bolt assemblies on the rear corner posts. Other than the cost of the
roof itself, nothing else is required. We used to change between full roof,
cab & tilt on a regular basis. I doubt that a 90 will be any different.

Not difficult at all -- though all I did was remove the truck
cab to replace the rear tub with one less bent and put the cab
back on again.

I would imagine it would also be quite easy to pick up a van
type rear end, or at least the two sides, from someone putting
on panels with side windows. Roof and rear door might be more
difficult to get 2nd hand. A new rear door from Paddocks cost me
around £100 + VAT and about the same to get it sprayed, then
there's the fittings (wiper, glass, door handle, hinges, etc.),
say £300?

I think this is true in general. However either the ex mod 110 soft
top I have had "settled" a bit during its mod life or the used hard
top was a bit out. It all looked straight but my mate had to use
webbing ratchet straps to pull it into line to get the bolts in.

Simply unbolt the truck cab and bolt on the hard top - couple of hours will
easily do the whole job....

Or buy one of my coupe fastback hardtops so you can look sportier! From
£400 they fit straight on to a 90 with no mods and give it that Wildcat /
Tomcat / Challenger sort of look...
Photos will appear soon on Defender Sport page of website - or I will
have them on display on my stand at Billing.....

Best to lift the hard-top/side-panel assembly with three people, one
each side at the front and one at the rear.

It's replacing a tailgate with a rear door which is the tricky part.

If these let you use the tailgate, it'll be much easier to swap from
truck-cab or soft-top, and back.

Just keep your tailgate in place and plonk the new fastback top down onto
the body cappings......

You don't say why you want to do it. Some insurance companies
insist that a pickup can only be commercial and the premiums are
pretty horrendous. But others will accept that it's "social and
domestic". If that's the reason, phone around until you get the
right quote. You may find you don't need to convert. Just a
thought. Quotes on my pickup varied from £175 to over £900!!

I wan't it for social and domestic use. I got some good quotes for
insurance. I probably will change it over just for the practicallity of it.
I could do with load space that's a bit more accessable than from the back
only. I also would like to see my dog other than through a window. I had a
county before and want one again basically but I am being offered quite a
tidy (but old) 90 with a truck cab and I always see Landy's as giant mechano
sets and it's easy to get bits for them.

I MISS HAVING A LANDROVER!!!

So I am willing to spend a bit of time sorting one out.

There is a Landy man up in the hills by us that fixes all the local landy's.
He might have the parts knocking around his yard so I will try him first but
thanks for the offer.

Blimey! Is that what they're fetching these days? I've got one sat in the
shed from when I ran our tatty S2A/3 as a pickup for a while a couple of
summers back.
