Hello. I'm new to this forum so I hope I'm posting in the correct place.
I am looking at buying a Defender 90 pickup and I was wondering if anybody knows a source of a cover for the pickup, like this

'Land Rover 90/110 Samson Hinged Aluminium Top Cover.' | Land Rover Accessories | N & J Aluminium Linings Ltd

but slightly cheaper.


Thanks for your help.

I would definitely consider it. I'm sure that for a couple of hundred someone would make you one. It might be worth paying for someone to put the bends in for you.

yeah. I havn't bought yet so I'm not familiar with the complexity involved. I am also considering converting to hard top. heard you only need a roof and sides and rear door.
found most of it on ebay for less than the price of that cover. If i was to sell the cab top it would cost even less.
tempting

I had a home made cover on my pick up but swapped it plus some cash for roof sides etc. In the process of cleaning them up for fitting.

Cover is easy to do. One sheet of chequer plate 1.5inches bigger on all sides, bent to fit then add some struts. I hinged it under the rim from a canvas hood.

Thats a really nice lid.
I am more tempted with the cover. Did you buy the material? How much did it cost you to make?
