More essential upgrades to our project 110 Land Rover
Our nine seater party bus is destined for beach work so how can we make sure it's perfect for our passengers? Our thumbnail is of a 90 soft top I built ten years ago which shipped off to Florida. It's been the inspration for the 110 soft top conversion ever since. But the one thing I think I should have installed was a swing away tailgate to help folks jump in and out more easily. In this episode I add a wheel carrier to our swing away and fit some more galvanised goodies to help survive those drives along the beach on those long summer nights.
