I'm also just on with a bespoke (I hate that phrase) roof rack. See thread :-http://www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum/8-my-jimny/50066-expedition-jimny-project?start=108
And will be getting the terrain awning so will have a nice shaded area to sit underneath :-)
I've also got the false boot floor/table in the back to transform in to a table with screw on extending legs to create 1M square table (just need some nice chairs now ;-)
Ta
Can't wait to get it and try it out. Pics to follow hopefully

i tow a caravan with my Jimny its a abi jubilee diplomat,noy sure how heavy it is but its a two birth
longest journey i do is from sunderland to the cotsworlds
fully loaded and with six dogs in
uphill on the motorway is a bit of a struggle can manage 50mph and on a level stretch i usually follow artics but down hill i can get up to 75/80mph if nothing is in the way but once you get the revs past 4000 i can do a steady 65/70mph
