Just a suggestion really as the existing one is covered and if you take the risk of rolling you could possibly make it more secure somehow by relocating it. In the same vein I am very tempted to remove the door locks and fill the holes flush. I have seen LWB Vitaras with the rear doors covered by arch extensions and never to be opened again. Just thinking out loud is all. :whistle:

Ah brilliant! I never thought of cutting the flap instead of the arch! You've thought outside the box there!
iloveics- thanks! Yes I do have a rocklobster from Rockwatt. You need it with any reasonable sized tyres. I don't have a body lift though, just Bigjimny 3" lift springs & a spacer on the front offside to prevent the Jimny lean!

Exactly.
Have cut the filler flap to the profile of the flare so it opens fine. There is just enough room to remove the cap.
