    Brand new, must be one of the last
    Let the accessories begin
    Arghh. At one point I did fold the back seats down, but didn't try folding them up and away. Thanks for the 'd'oh!' realization.

    I am in Bald Hills with most of those accessories if you want to check them in the flesh, home all the time after an op, but go back to Png in three weeks,
    Best mod for $, exhaust wrap
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Nothing like 115 litres loaded, iced coffee in the cup holder chiko roll in the hand and an open road

    Got the bug big time mate.

    And yes, doing a long trip by yourself is a special experience.
    I didn't have the radio on once, just listened to the mechanical sounds and watched the landscape. Rolling slowly through small towns in the middle of the night. Dusty roads leading off to who knows where with a battered old mail box up front. Mist sitting low over fields at dawn.

    It's a long way... to the shop... if you wanna Chiko Roll!

    Like the sound of that. Beats the 6 cans of Red Bull that got me through this last run.

    Cheers for the tip about wrapping the exhaust - added to the list.

    Nice one, looks great.
    Good writeup of 1st experience, cant believe you havent yet mentioned the turning circle!

    As others have mentioned, customising your beast is > 50% the fun.

    Work out whats important to you first, seat rails are a must, I only use the extra 1-2 cm's, but its great.

    Have a sheetload of fun.
