How did you mount the flag to the body?
Looks a great set up
No worries. It lends itself to easy customisation and removal.
of my underseat bags, after some days she admitted they were great to use! 
Thank you, Jean, for sharing - always a pleasure to reading your adventuresYesterday and today checked my car for damage after two weeks in Spain and about 4000 km driving, from which quite a lot of motorway (Belgium and France) and an estimated 150 km off road.
Conclusions and experiences of those two weeks:

- got during an hour or two a "Power Steering Error" on the big screen and a red triangle on the small screen behind the steering wheel, but it disappeared after a picnic pause.
- some days later I had suddenly a metallic squeaking noise under the car, only while moving, even in car wash mode with motor off. Later it changed to a rattling metallic noise. Did creep under the car but didn't find it, but it disappeared as suddenly as it appeared after some hours, therefore probably something got stuck somewhere, and fell off again. Stone probably or wood, less probable.
- I also got a tire pressure high warning on the hottest day for my rear tires; next day, after a fresh night the warning was still on, probably because the computer hadn't reset it yet, but it disappeared after some kilometers driving.
- one of the first nights I left my fridge on, to see if my battery could hold it (I have a NOCO power booster in the car), and this was the result, voltage drop from about 12.8 volt to 11.8 volt, therefore OK for one night, but nothing more:

- I scratched my "Buzz rock sliders" on some rocks but no other damage, although I don't pretend the sliders had to really support the weight of the car.
- And while crawling under my car yesterday and today I saw a strange "oil-like" pattern on the left frame of the car, but is NOT oil, it is some kind of wax, probably some excess protection wax that melted while the temperature was higher:
- The car behaved as expected, and it was the first longer trip for my wife, and she enjoyed the comfort, but getting out of it is still difficult despite the "Buzz" side steps / rock slider.
- And while she first had some mockery
I used indeed the "official 12V outlet from the boot", therefore draining the main battery!Thank you, Jean, for sharing - always a pleasure to reading your adventures
In be leave, you are not having any major fluid leak.
About the battery drain from the fridge: Did you use the main battery or the 2nd battery as source?
I assume, your fridge is hooked to the official 12V outlet from the booth.
Was anything else on throughout that night, or was it closed up with just the fridge running? That seems like a lot of amp draw. What’s the make and size?… Have you tested beforehand to see what it draws when running? For comparison, an Engel 45 has a draw of between 2.25-2.5 amps with a 50 -60% average duty cycle.
Brilliant just what I’m looking for. Let us know how it looks and handles when loaded please. I’ll look for a U.K. supplier ready for when I get my Grenadier back.
I'd put a set in my luggage as we're in the UK in May ; however we are limiting ourselves to 20kg!
. Nice thought
Get the kevlar sheathed ones , for longevity.
. I’ve emailed 4x4 works and they are contacting the suppliers so all should be good
Installed the eibach heavy duty springs and gvm upgrade.. no need for airbags... just something else to de-inflate..
