WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE LAMPING TRUCK ?

 

 

Anyone got any pictures of their lamping set up ?

 

I know that Pavman and Al4x have some good ideas and a good set up.

 

I am thinking about getting the welder and angle grinder out but before that happens, it would be good to get some ideas for the perfect lamping truck. :good:

Well done Impy.

 

That should develop some discussion.

 

SWB or LWB ?

 

Heavy like a Frontera or Shogun or light like a Suzuki SJ or Daihatsu ?

 

Pick up truck like a Hilux or convertible / sunroof ?

not got pics yet but the issue with most is having a decent shooting rest, shooting through sunroofs in the back is ok but you need a bid sunroof to get both shooter and lamper through it. Then you have the smacked ribs issue which isn't good. Front sunroofs are no good for rifle shooting as you don't have a rest so my money is on unsurprisingly a pickup as being best. make some seats to sit in the rear tub and make then the right level to rest on the roof and jobs good. Safety wise you can also put a rail round as well or even fabricate a wooden surround to keep you in, we have a driver who knows he'll get a battering if he gets too excited so we don't tend to get thrown about much.

Frontera Sport SWB.

 

1 - Yes I know it's a Vauxhall, and therefore poo

 

2 - It cost me £300 from Ebay

 

3 - It passed it's MOT without any bother what so ever

 

4 - I can drive it through hedges, into iron posts - and really not give a flying chuff - it copes just fine with the muddy stuff too!

 

5 - The rear roof is removable and easily accommodates a lamp man and shooter

 

The foxes of Hertfordshire would tend to agree! (that's if they weren't all fast asleep under a bush) :oops:
