NIGHT SEARCHER Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 After many hours of head scratching I finally grew some and cut the whole in the roof, and finished installing my shooting hatch in my mk2 Pajero. Hasn't leaked yet so hopefully it has sealed ok. http://i1279.photobu...zpsc34e3787.jpg http://i1279.photobu...zps63a930ef.jpg http://i1279.photobu...zps78b06c0e.jpg All I need to do not is install a secondary wiring loom and a split charging system. Anyone know anything about split charge circuits, there are two batteries already on the vehicle, but not sure if a third will be needed for the separate circuit? And anyone got any tips how to wire up, I have googled and it doesn't seem to technical. Cheers NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 90 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm looking to do something similar with my 07 Shogun Sport - needs to be a pucker job though ! A universal sunroof kit is best I've found up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad1 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I heard some one using the old caravan roof hatches fiberglassed into place ?? Or just make a frame from angle or similar and some ally sheet folded up into a really shallow box !? Where are you at cos I could get some cut at work for you ?

Grandalf Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Take your truck to a boatyard and see what deck hatches they have in store. Get one the right side and the boatyard people will fit it for you. Most just lift out and 'prop' open for ventilation. Completely waterproof for obvious reasons. I've got one fitted to my 90 and Pavman has one on his super deluxe modern something or other. They both work very well. Cheaper than a garage too..

Night blaster Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi I have a landrover 90 and I want some sort of a shooting hatch in the back so I can stand up to shoot off the roof has any one got any ideas to what I can do. I finished mine a few weeks back, I can take a few more photo's to give you some ideas and inspiration. It looks fairly tidy but see what you think, no doubt you will have found my original post. I can give you a few pointers that I have only found out through trial and error. But mine seems to work really well, just wish it would dry up abit!! Pm me if you want any info.

Grandalf Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 See if you can aquire a Landrover Safari roof-rack. (The one that has a ladder that allows one to camp on top of the truck when the natives are being restless - or the snakes). I got hold of one for £50. I then cut one third of it off - turned it round - built a plywood box for the gun to lay in - fixed rack to drip thingy with fitted attachments - job done.
