irishnut 297 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 i was wondering what machines you folk are using while hunting, getting there and for moving the dogs about. i got a land rover 110 hi-cap pick-up, roll bar is good height for resting the rifle while lamping, big safe style tool box/dog box in the back, holds terriers and digging gear, and of cousre being a landy it gets me anywhere i need to go, does anyone have any extras on their machines that they find handy, and that they would share designs for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickyfinn 1 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Im going to buy a defender i hope in jan when im home,get a hatch cut into the roof,and also thinking of a roof rack,but with padding around the frame,so can then be used as a rifle rest while out the hatch, But take a look at this shoot wagon...

mickyfinn 1 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 where can you get shooting hatches from, would love to one in my 90 i just put posts on this site plus a few other shooting sites asking guys,i found a guy up north from me,yorkshire way who can do it. but if you look for landrover restorations,they also can do them,im sure you will find one or someone down south who can do it for you.

irishnut 297 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 why no put in a sun roof, a decent sized push back job, go on just be fancy and get a rag top Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dances Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 we use a vauxhall brava pick up with a truckman boxes divided into 3, we then have a powerpoint inside and on the back aswell as spots on the front bumper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bert69 5 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Ford Ranger double cab pick up. Frame on the back for lamping or a box for the dogs, or remove both if im doing logs etc plus room in comfort for 4 or 5 at a push. Not too heavy on fuel and i drive it to the south of france without too many complaints from my passengers. Plus with a decent set of tyres i get anywhere i need to go and it tows trailers (horses, quad bike etc) quite happily. And you can get spare parts from tesco's.

hily 379 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Had a hi- cap landy liked it got a 90 pick up now put some heavy duty springs on the rear to cope with a 3/4 ton sankey trailer loaded up with corn going over fell and moors to feed up hoppers.made a couple of rock sliders frome a bull bar of a transit.and as the 90 has'nt got the length to take a gun box i stuck one on top of the ivor richards canopy. Don't think a sun roof will be very practical as if in the middle of roof the gear levers will get in the way of you having a comfortable shooting position and even if you put a hatch in to one side it would have to be realy forward on the roof so you could stand on the cab floor.what would be good is if you could get the wind screen to fold down i think you could on some of the early landys but don't know if there is a convertion kit out there or some one who knows how it could be done. atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ali N 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 i have got a 110 double cab. roof make an ideal rest for the rifle. set of goodrich mud terrains and we go anywhere i would want. best machine going I reckon but am sure the landy haters will say otherwise.

GET THEM OUT (.)(.) 39 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 landy all the time, go anywere machines, fek all the jap shite, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattydski 560 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Had various Land Rovers, but the best is 110 Double Cab, on Mud Terrains.. for sure. Few upgrades for safety. Steering Guard, Diff guard, Steel Wheels, Mud Terrains. Rear Recovery points( For towing other folk out) Mainly because we shoot at night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bert69 5 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 i think all shooting wagons have to be a compromise, japs sacrifice ruggedness for reliability and comfort while land rovers sacrifice comfort, fuel consumption, reliability and power for erm, what exactly? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irishnut 297 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 modern landy comfort is great as is performance, i drove a landy series 3 for a few years, and thought it was great, then i bought a landy 90 v8, with soft seats, was great to drive, useless for hunting from, so now im on to a 110 hi cap, on bfg mt's, and 2 t-max winches, front and back, currently making mesh sides for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
