It's spent the last two years of Saturday nights doing donuts in a Morrison's car park
 
Nooo, one careful lady owner, only used to go to church on Sunday and choir practice on Wed evening.  Anyway not Morrison's, perhaps Sainsbury or Waitrose don't you know?

Both fitted without a problem, following the guide in the wiki.  Thanks Martin, a really superb product and easy to fit.

Load area rubber mat

 

Robin

 
I have one, and it is great!- it takes the skating rink back to the grippier carpet of the gen 3 and improves on it.
I'm a bit disappointed by the seatbelts bowing it so badly though, I'd have preferred a notch for the belt to go through.

I festooned mine with D-rings in the screw holes too.

The other worthwhile accessory is the rain deflectors for the door windows, so you can crack them open an inch to clear the side windows without the rain coming in

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

The LCV load area mat is good too - it is U-shaped (the LCV load area is slightly deeper) and kicks up over the wheel arches.  I also got the sill protector but the mat covers half of the painted sill anyway, so it's not strictly necessary.

A bit of a busy morning.

- Went for a tow bar electrics adaptor.
- Fitted my Ctek Battery Sense Monitor

- Got my Maxxis tyres changed on to the Gen 4 rims (balanced up fine and felt good driving home)

 
 

The Maxxis really look good in comparison to the Dueller H/T.  Even the bloke in the tyre fitting shop thought they looked good, but then he has the same tyre on a L200.
