Looking forward to seeing how they look!

Keep an eye out for a 4 wheel Camel... coming East from twilight cove.

Bought one of these recently to cover my load in the Defender DCPU tray...

Safeguard Search | Official Safeguard(R) Website

Works well for both securing and covering the load

Got a slick shift, but won't put that in until after Jan when my 110 gets a service and they look at the clutch under warranty. Noisy, sounds like springs on plate or thrust bearing.
Put Optimill hinges on, nice product.

Finally got the LED bar fitted!

Spent some time last week (with a lot of help from the seller) removing a canopy and drawers from one 130 and onto another. In due course I'll post some pics in my vehicle thread. Very happy with the canopy and can't wait until I get the drawers secured in place properly. :)

Are those the anti-vibration / security hinges?
Where'd you get them? Link?

Also I am looking for some replacement / tidy up options for the 'fake' windscreen hinges, which the paint has peeled off of.

Baintech Solar blanket did a top job of keeping the house battery (55 amp hour yellow top) charged along the bight telegraph track. Didn’t get a heap of use as we were driving most days. No numerical data as my monitor didn’t arrive in time, but a couple of hours had the battery full and was still charging in very late afternoon light.

About $800 with express delivery. Not cheap, but I love how they look (very OEM) and after a recent trip south I'm very pleased with the increased light output. In particular, the whiteness of the light seems to create more contrast on the road or something which I particularly like.

Also, full marks to Barbara at 4x4overlander.com - Supplying Overland Travellers for the great service. Promptly responded to my email queries and shipped my lights incredibly fast. I ordered on the 20th of December not expecting to see them until the new year and received them Christmas Eve [biggrin]

Cheers
Andrew
