View Full Version : 109 Dump Truck?
I can't remember in all my Land Rover literature if they ever made a Land Rover dump bed truck. Does anyone remember?
I'm thinking of making my 109 pickup into a dump bed.

This is new for the 109 (part# ADB109) and there is a dump bed hydraulic kit also available for this. Stay tuned for more details.

I wanted to buy this S3 a few years ago, but timing and 3k miles were not in my favor.

I still like it - would have made a great beer delivery truck!

Thanks Thompson,
But I am thinking about retaining the original bed. I would want the truck to look stock. I know that the original bed is not strong enough by itself because it relies on the chassis for strength. I would have to build a separate subframe for the bed, but I think it's do-able. I wasn't sure if Land Rover ever offered it though?
I might be interested in the hydraulic kit though.
Luckyjoe,
That is a neat looking truck.

Unless you have a high Capacity P-up there will be a lot of aluminum work as the front of the bed is integral with the back of the cab. Also, you will have to re-route fuel fillers (unless it is ex-mil). You are right about having to build a separate frame for the bed in order for it to take any sort of load. I would also think about putting angled deflectors at the back of the 'wheel wells' or you will have a lot of crap in your brake lights.
If you don't have one already, this project would be a whole heck of a lot easier with a High Capacity Pick-up.

Well aware of that Scott! And I think that S3 is only a dropside, not a dump, so beer threat averted.
I just can't get that 'picture it full of kegs' out of my mind... mmmm.
Regards,
That looks like a cut-down Marshalls ambulance. Pretty resourceful.
Jp, here's a neat pic for reference on the subframe and hydraulics

Thanks Momo!
Who did that conversion? Where can I get one of those hydraulic cylinders?
Dunno, maybe Land Rover Special Vehicles. You can find a few more here:
