OK fordem, I will bow out at this point as you are adding to the spec. Anyway discussions like this annoy the moderator as there is no point to them.

Just added the escape gear seat covers. 
easy to fit but a real pain to fasten them as it cannot be fastened as per their instruction and their escape gear instruction video but i found alternative way. The following video sort of giving an alternative way to fasten it. I used similar holes on side.


the quality though is exceptional.

Also found they didn't quite "cover" the bottom tie in the instructions, we looped around the base, looked like too much PT to dig for holes.

Wanted to ask if you fitted the des sol breather kit yet, are their instructions any good?

I also looped the bottom tie around the rail. No ill effects after 2 1/2 years.
 

Added frontrunner floor panel.

Verdict.
Money wise I would be more then have happy to pay same amount to just get the rails as that would have taken me ages to manufacture myself.

Mounting rails looks sturdy, but I might add an extra rail linking rails at 90degree to current 3 rails linking them up. This should be very easy to do..

Woodpanels might be a little "light" for some people's liking. Definately too "light" for my liking. I would definately change the fĺoor boards to facilitate "doors" for easy access as there are lots of space to use under floor boards. Current setup also block back side of floor where jack is situated. For now only fastened with one bolt on each corner.

Took about 1 hour to remove seats and install floor board system.

I did add rubber pieces between the rail and the body work where rails are fastened. Only thing i would have added to package if I was frontrunner. They dont seem to be to great on providing rubber where metal meets metal.

Wow, what a space waster. I can't believe that there is no easy access to the tools. And the flat floor is gone. At least the price is reasonable.
