Great photos! What is the story behind the 130 (?) inch Series IIA? Looks like a well-built conversion.

It was!
Custom frame, massive!
Ford motor and trans
Coil springsin the front and leaves in the back if I remember correctly.
And I believe they were Ford axles as well.

Even the roof center section was made.
That rig had to go about 6000 lbs.

I really liked the galvinized late Series IIa door hinges!
I'm doing this to mine.:thumb-up:

Nice photos, Les. Did anyone videotape the tech sessions? Would be great to post them on YouTube.

Still drooling over the Crew Cab...what a cool and authentic looking rig.

That sure was a great day out there, nice to see other old Rovers gathered. Looks like everyone was taking pictures; my photos can be found here:

I didn't know Land Rover's could fly! Was this an official air portable drop? Let us in on how you took these - great photos BTW (hope you don't mind me posting the photo directly here) Thanks!

Land Rovers can't fly, but I can :-)

I went out flying the day before the event and did some aerial recon. I was hoping there might already be a few people there camping out and I think there were, but they were so far in the shadows in one corner I could not get them in a photo.
