    Hope to see you guys on the road sometime. Enjoy!

    Cheers
    I did have three kips, or two kips and one doze.
    Yes, had to get back for work - you nailed it.
    I had an inflatable pad, a blanket and an inflatable pillow - but because I was trying to lie sideways in the back like a tool, they didn't help like they should have.
    Meanwhile at the stops, you see all the big rigs and wonder what kind of cosy sleeping compartment they are tucked up in.

    Seats folded up in future - for sure.

    Here is a n00b question - why the different-colored tail lights I just noticed?

    Murray already has, check out his web site.


    Best gear ever and not difficult to install.

    It was Murray who posted that I'd need to shorten my list, so I figured he didn't yet have a total 'Transformer' or 'Swiss Army Knife' solution. But maybe he meant that some things like a rear bumper, make other things like bumperettes redundant.

    Yep, that's exactly what I meant, too many things wanting to share the same mounting holes.
    I'm slowly designing new things to solve some of the compatibility issues, for example, I've just made a pair of rear quarter protectors that will fit with the dual rear carrier. They're the same dimensions as Mulgos bumperette wings.
    This is the first prototype set which will be powder coated any day now.

    Cheers, Murray

    I'm assuming these go between the rear of the vehicle and the dual wheel carrier?


    Watching and waiting for production.

    Correct, they sandwich between the dual carrier bar and a rubber gasket which is against the chassis.

    Put me down for a set Murray.
    I still haven't fitted the rear bar...

    Three weeks of Defender ownership and I'm yet to turn on the radio.
    Still enjoying the rev sounds of the engine and the other assortment of characterful noises it makes. I also enjoy looking around at the landscape more because of the elevated seat position.
