Noice!! "looks the goods" for serious visitation to far flung places!
Are the antennas on the bull bar both for UHF CB or is the one on the driver's side for mobile phone?
If they're both for the UHF radio , how do you switch between?
I have 2 UHF units, so one antenna for each. As I often travel alone I have two for safety reasons. That way I can have one on scan and the other on a specific channel (mostly 40). I installed the second after a near miss from a long wide load, where the pilots did a poor job of warning traffic.

Precise UHF install details here.

Today I checked the rubbers of the doors to see if they are still in their position.

But, to my dismay I found out that my dealer made two cuts in the rubbers of every door to avoid the "waterfall" problem when opening the doors. I wasn't aware, they didn't ask me, they just did it! 🤬 . I would have refused!

Decided to check mine today prompted by your post. I have two nice cut small semi-circles cut in the door seals. Courtesy of Ineos at build. My serial no 7601. So we can assume they don't have a fix.

I’ve had my vehicle 7 months now and had never had the ‘foot wash’ problem on opening the doors until just lately, and on the driver’s door only. The one and only thing that appears to have changed is that the driver’s door seal has lift away from the door on the front lower corner. Therefore I believe that seals should not have to be cut if they are securely stuck to the door to eliminate this problem.

That's exactly how it is! My seals are firmly attached everywhere. They hold tight. I tell my workshop every time I'm there, just keep your hands off.

It's not much but I had the front aux lights tinted with a 50% smoke tint. They match the headlights now. Also had 35% ceramic tint installed on the front windows, they perfectly match the rear tints.

It almost looks like my forest.

Minor mod today - airline tracks installed on the rear lid to hold stuff down.

@globalgregors that's where my extinguishers live. I say plural , as there is nothing worse than someone standing back and telling you what and how to do in the heat of the moment!
Let's hope she can find her fireproof gloves 😉

Hi globalgregors,
Nice looking set up.
What brand shade and size or model are you using?
Does it primarily attach to the rear cross bar?
DaBull
It’s a 4m Clevershade Ultralight 270 @DaBull

Yes, it’s designed actually for a rack installation but as you see it’s no problem installing it to roof bars, with some minor modifications.

We’ll move it across to a Leitner rack in due course.

And it is upside down compared to mine on a Pioneer Platform.

I see your drawers are done.

Yes, good pickup.

We fitted it while it was wrapped and I confess I was too lazy to fix it as it all comes off again tomorrow.

Iggy won’t enter our garage with the roof bars on….

The team at ORS kindly found us an early build slot so that we might make our shipping date. Drawers are just what we were after.

Edit: After closer inspection the awning appears to have been assembled incorrectly. It really will need to wait until tomorrow…
Edit2: Axle was reversed, 2 minute fix if that.
