Weight is a big consideration......

The car would be worth more with a pick up back, without question. A pick up bed is heavy....

A full tray back and roll cage would let me trial safely as well as lane with confidence. Cages are heavy....

Simple bed to carry the spare wheel and a 25ltr tub with recovery gear in it. As light as it can be.....

I have been across to Shire Fabs and they were not interested in doing a bespoke hoop for the Jimny. The landrover hoop can't be cut down to suit, the angles go all pear shaped between the bottom two bends,

The WKD set up looks favourite....

Is the body shop taking the pictures as they go along or are you popping to take them each day? It is nice to a shop taking this much care and attention. I have already book marked this thread for future (Very long term hopefully) reference.

Yes Soeley, the shop are taking the pictures and sending them to my bunker... To be honest, it's the only thing that has my interest while this virus thing is going off. I'm high risk and have been locked down for two weeks already..
