Default 1972 Landrover fabrication

Just got done doing some work to a customers Landrover.

Built a custom external roll cage/ rack/ tent base. With integrated frame mounted rocker guards.









Custom Snorkel setup, fabricated an intercooler, and all aluminum piping.







Also you can see the dual Optima battery box we fabricated. Also wired in a start/charge isolator switch and many other little items.

There are more pictures on our Facebook

The Owner is planning on a cross-country trip in the upcoming weeks. I'm hoping to get more photos of it out in action!

Awesome work, but I don't quite get why the external roll cage "bulges" on the sides.

Do those mounts to the body pass through and connect to the chassis? It doesn't look like they do, but I can't tell for sure.
