Akeld Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hopefully posting in the correct place and the title makes sense, I've just got an L200 (2003), with a rear canopy, what I'd like to do is somehow mount a platform to stand on, on the tow bar assembly which is tubular steel, I'd like something easily mountable and removable. I toyed with the idea of modifying one of the tow ball game carriers but I'm not keen on that idea. I've done it in the past on a defender by slotting the platform with tubes into the hole in the rear cross member. Anyone done it to an L200 that can give a few pointers, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trucraft Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have the same year L200. If you give us a better idea of how you want to use it, perhaps a drawing? I will try and come up with something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeld Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Something like this, but just the platform to stand on, http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/uploads/monthly_07_2008/post-1500-1216803421.jpg I suppose I could adapt the scaffold fittings as the tube is already fitted http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/uploads/monthly_07_2008/post-1500-1216803432.jpg Although a bike carrier may make a good base to build on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeld Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hopefully this will make more sense, http://assets.fwi.co.uk/7306041-space-buddy.jpg I think if I have it so its dropped in vertically behind the tow ball, then lowered horizontal and hooked under the bar either end http://www.4x4ni.com/dat/prod/114_b_20a3c4f0fe45303cd4613713cf8d77d2c6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trucraft Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Scaffold clamps would work though slow the set up but not bad. You will still need to brace it to stop it tipping down under weight. How about having some frame work that also hook over the tail gate to talk the strain? Don't laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dogge Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Why not just drop the tailboard and stand on that? I sometimes shoot out of the back of a Navara, a top hatch in the canopy would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried the tail gate option, doesn't provide a comfortable shooting position, back to the platform design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
