do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
it is far too easy for yer average knobhead to go spunk 100k on a sled he really does not need or have any legitimate use for - other than a willy extensionBit of trivia ...
It looks like land rover are set to break their record for a single vehicle production...so that's over 125k new defenders per annum.
There were 2 million. "Old" defenders ever made . That means their well on their way to quarter of that already in 5 years.Take of that what you may but I say fair play JLR
I reckon give it a few years the "new" defenders will be a serious disco type vehicle with a lot of aftermarket stuff and followers etc...
If you haven't heard one the new V8 even without...a stainless system is arguably one of the nicest sounding production cars available now

must've employed a midget for the photo shootWhen they are attached to a 60k truck though it changes things a bit.
There are a couple of trucks floating round locally with a tray and two of these mounted on them. One has the gap between them covered over with a door. Another has it open so you can walk between them and a couple just have them one side.

Reading the Aussie Facebook pages it's not as bad as you would think. Especially if it is a dedicated pod rather than a tray with removable pod. They build them in all aluminium and are replacing a steel tub and thick fibreglass canopy, which aren't exactly light.

So will it be single cap pickups to avoid the new tax

I have been thinking about it, more for the bed length than anything though.

the manufacturers seem to only do the single cabs in basic spec as well, maybe they need more time to react to offer a more plush version better kitted out

Some will remember my travels to New Zealand last year. I would say there. I hardly saw a pickup with a conventional tub back.
Most get a tray put on at the dealers.
10 times more practical load pallets straight on etc etc. they can't understand why we don't have them
As you know, I imported mine from New Zealand. Some of their ones over there are incredible and to be fair as someone's already said, if you're spending 40/50k, what's another 10 grand on the back to make it a practical vehicle?
What really pissed me off there was seeing a brand new Hilux fully loaded hybrid for 35k Inc vat!!

Not often, but do put the expensive kit in there while driving, plus tools, batteries, pump, battery booster etc.
I did briefly think could do with just 3 seats or even 2 but a quick look at how much defender 90 are put that straight to the no pile. Plus not sure how would feel having the bulk head not properly sealed
