Have you given any thought to using window guards/security screens? See Mantec | Quality Land Rover Accessories , for example. These would be much cheaper I expect.

I remember in Gabon Africa, I was asleep in the back of the truck and woke up to find some locals removing the rubber from the exact side window and trying to left out the windows, they would be a good idea I think

Sorry if its been posted before, here is a puma being built for a Russian trip, no expense spared, you have to join the forum to see the pictures but some interesting ideas .
One thing they need is a pre or extra diesel filter as in Far eastern Russian there is a lot of crap in the diesel, wax etc which the Puma will not like

Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine!

I found this book on Amazon and have just ordered it! it gives you a bunch of recipes and how many miles it takes to cook... me thinks a great idea so long as don't do too much off roading, might lose a snag!

Spotted this in Manly NSW on the weekend. Is it me or does it look longer?
It also has the slide on the back for a motorbike... handy!

SashaDidi - thanks for that excellent link. Brilliant build and quite a bit of discussion on the suitabillity of using Alloys on an expedition vehicle.

I'd say they spent the cost of the car again on fitting it out. The owner must have won lotto :p

definitely looks longer than my defender in the back, good idea but not too keen on the departure angle at the back, a 130 single cab would be better for this camper back.

This is my Defender 110 with a double matress in.

I am 6' 2 and had loads of room! Very comfy actually!
