So a few silly upgrades to improve the look.
Interior was wood trim and i hated it, so black it went.
Rear lights were the older Orange lens lights, didnt like them at all and the Mrs was going to kill me if i didn't sort them out lol.

After getting all that on, we went off for a day out in swindon to go and make sure all was working so far
While everything was all taken apart, i swapped out the rope for a syth one and changed the fairlead to a D44 Stainless Steel version.

It looks great, and I like the awning. Expensive, I'd guess? I made one myself for my Discovery using four lengths of alloy tube, a length of canvas, and some guy ropes. It worked really well. |
