BabyBoy's Land Rover D110 V2

Here's my second Land Rover D110 build. This is a more simpler one. This is what I'm trying to build. Soft top Landy. And hopefully this one has no "Top side heavy problem".

After a few hours of cutting, with experience from the first build, the cutting is more cleaner. Lesson learn here is I need to get the angle cutter. Set the speed of the cutting disc to the minimum and you get better and cleaner cut.

All trim and sand. Next will be the extension.

This is how I cut it. If you pry the back slightly the cutting is almost perfect. But safety first. I use a washer to pry it slightly and push along as I cut futher.

Am I the only one having this problem where the image is always double? I need to delete one photo everytime.

Not sure about the image problem. I always use imageshack...np for me. This is a very inspiring build... Should I go for a series 2 109 build? It's about 5 kg now... A 109 will add on an additional 2 kg I think.

Go go go! Build one. Do a SAS pinky and you can cut down the weight.

I tried but can't fall in love with the D90 unless I cut up the back....errr that would be the V3 soon I hope. Still left one dun know what yet.

An SAS pinky is what I was thinking bout doing, now that would be great.

Looking good so far!

Yeah. A pinky will standout from the rest of crawlers.

Thanks boo. Inspire by your request of an army version . Will need your help on the final stage of the build.

After searching the web for more info, I will try to do it this way. Dual purpose pickup landy. With the canvas off will look like this.

Hope to update more later today.

nice nice!!

Looking forward to more!

Thanks Boo.

So whatever happened to this build? Is it completed?

Still in progress. As my second intention is dual usage as an army land rover cum pickup(a personal challenge to have 2 in one landrover. See youtube attach fr previous update). But after getting the roll bar up, found that it is not possible. And the rear shock is just too high to have a flat bed like the TF2. Now stuck with how to secure the roll bar to the body. The pickup will be on my fourth mounting project . Hence no posting of update till i get the roll bar secured. After which will be the sanding, putty and painting. So near to completion yet so long to get a solution.

Go for a cantilever Suspension set up? This way you can the put them in line with your flat bed

Man, I wish I wasn't so dense to understand this..

Wah you ask me a newbie to setup a cantilever suspension..... it will take forever. . Was thinking of shorter shocks 80mm also too long. Think any shorter no more articulation. But that will be the next project headache. .

Newbie? right....

Well I found the link for you...http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/showpost.php?p=927878&postcount=85

Hope it solve your problem.

Was very busy early in the year. Now finding time to continue my build. Some updates.

After a few hours of solder and de-solder, this is what I got. Not the best but can do for now. Thanks for watching.

Nice tube work babyboy!

Looking forward for more updates man!!

Very nice skeleton indeed!

Regarding your soldering: you may need more flux to have the solder flow around the joints.

Thanks but cannot compare to master Liew!

Thanks. will add in additional brace for this later.

Yeah the soldering is not good. I'm still trying to get it to melt in to the brass rod. Still need to improve it. My camel landy was better. Dun noe if the burner plays a part. I use two different type of burner with different type of gas. The solder dun seems to melt properly as compare to the landy roof rack.

Its been sometime since I update my progress. Here's some tiny work done on the rear bed canvas.

Mozzie wipe out?


Need to ensure that the canvas dun strip itself. By burning the tip of the canvas, it will prevent it from comming apart. The edges will melt and keep the tread together in one piece.


Test fit on the Landy










Next is to clean up the rear bed side. Need cutting. Thanks for watching.

more more more!!!

Wow, that looks just awesome!!!
Thanks for the instructional photos of how to secure the canvas edges.

After some cutting, glue, putty and painting... this is what I have. Still need to sand and putty. White don't show so much. But the green brings out the ugly workmanship of mine. Will touch up later on...





Trial fitting on the D110 camel chassis


Need to rework a few areas...  


On to the chassis. Need to extend the dingo wheelbase.


First off. From experience, its easy to stretch the wheelbase. Just relocate the shock hoop one hole back as shown and drill a new hole for the back. It's that easy! 


Take measurement of the required extension and add that number to the existing stock treaded rod and I get the total length that I need for the new treaded rod.




Change front and back to 4 link setup and extend the rear link.... 




The end result is 2 D110...


That's all for now. Will work on the mounting of the D110 body to the chassis next.... Thanks for watching.
