Defender 6x6?
- Thread starter fosterchild420

here is a link to more pictures. http://www.sellyouroldride.com/listing/1974-land-rover-defender-110/ i wanted to see some of the suspension but he doesn't have any of that.
this what you were looking for? im thinking this is a different one due to axle spacing but it is probably fairly similar underneath. not sure if the series shown is leafs or has been upgraded to coils but i think it would be fun either way (its still a series)

looking back at the other pictures, i do see what appears to be a leaf spring at the rear behind one of the wheels. I also noticed that on the picture you posted the rear axle is not hooked to a drive shaft. I was wondering if they did hook it up or if it was for looks. Overall i am not interested in this thing, just being nosey as to how or why they did this.
there must be a reason no one is buying it. i've seen it for sale in various places for a couple years now.
I remember seeing a 6x6 in Land Rover Owners International a while back, but I cannot remember if it was a RR or a Defender.
Im surprised none of you clowns picked up on it being a 1974 Defender, seeing as they didnt even go into production until 1983

In all actuality, when they originally made what we call "defenders" (in 1983/1984), they were actually called "county's". They had aluminum bodies put together with rivets (My dad had a brand new 1985 County growing up overseas). When they switched to steel bodies, they changed the name to the defender.

wasn't "County" a particular package? I thought they were called 90's and 110's without the Defender. I think a County was a SW 90 or 110 as opposed to a MoD, 2 door 110, or van side model. I could be wrong, but that's always been my understanding.
and that POS 6x6 has been all over CL and ebay for the last two years.

I meant after viewing his pictures i went back to the original pictures of the one i posted and you can see what appears to be leaves.
They can make an aluminum F-150 but, they'll never bring us a steel bodied defender.
