Mate... you have enough power in tht car to jump start a d-9

Captain_Rightfoot - Can never have enough power, the extra power will be handy as I am now taking two engle, a 40L as a fridge and a 32L as a freezer.[/b][/quote]

I thought you were trying to travel light? 8O 8O At least you'll have plenty of cold beer [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] (don't forget to wrap it so it doesn't wear through).

Coling Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars was famous for his saying "just add lightness". From my limited experience it seems to apply to 4wd too [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

84RR - had not thought about putting perspex on top, it looks like it is made for a tough perspex, not sure if it would effect its performance. The likely hood of a stone hitting it would be about the same as one hitting the windscreen and due to the angle I'm hoping it would glance off.[/b][/quote]

Poly-carbonate perspex is used by all the banks (Bulletproof glass)

You don't need it 100mm thick, but you can buy it 3 and 4 mm thick
It shouldn't interfere with the panels' ability of charging.

Good insurance with 2 engels and stones in the outback
