    Hi,

    I am looking for advice on converting a 110 defender pick up to a Tipper body.
    Has anyone attempted this or would you know anybody that would take the project on?

    Thanks in advance

    Plenty done in the UK, popular with tree surgeons for chippings. Diy method is to buy a scrap Transit with an ally tipper, cut the tipper down and use the tipping gear (need electric hydraulic pump unless you want to fit a pto one). Hardest part is cutting the 110 rear body and finding the correct bulkhead finishers unless you start with a hi-cap pick up.

    Best bet is to trawl the numerous UK Land Rover forums, there's dozens of them!!
    Also been done in a couple of the magazines.
