Re:DrRobin's Northumberland Jimny

Drove the 220 mile round trip to see my Mum, the SZ5 seats and cruise control make this a comfy enough vehicle so I have decided not to fit my aftermarket semi-bucket seats and stick with the original fitment, which are heated and have integrated airbags.  

I made a quick stop to try 4WD, worked fine

It's good to see these things grow, if you change things over time then you dial it in on exactly how you want it to be set up.
Here in Australia they might as well come out from the factory with a winch capable bullbar, 215's with a 6" lift and a roof rack, I don't think I've seen 1 on the road yet that wasn't set up that way.
I think we lack imagination over here, people watch extreme 4x4 shows on YouTube and think that's how they have to set it up irrespective of its use.

A couple of bits and pieces today

LED interior lights
Front (Halogen, then LED)
 
 

Rear (Halogen, then LED)
 
 

Much brighter than the slightly agitated glow-worms which were in there before.

Load area cover
 
 

Due to the clips it's not possible to get it any tighter unless you adjust the straps once it is in place (then it won't come off), but it will do the job of hiding everything in the back and stop it from moving around.

It was good value at about £17 and even included SS Eye-bolts for the sides (which I already had).

I'm fairly certain those "before" pictures are incandescent and not halogen, there IS a difference.

Which one?
I used to subscribe to pocketgpsworld.
They don't support the SLDA, and I can't remember how I got it to work, I could do with an update!

You are most likely right, filament bulbs, not halogen.  It was the LED kit which said they were halogen.  Still a massive improvement on the glow-worms that were there before.
