With the number plate missing, I ordered a new set online with the GB sign to go abroad. I ordered the metal one thinking it was more off-roady/bushy, but I think I prefer the laminate ones more, oh well.

I love the front look without a numberplate, pity it's not legal

I reached out to melivince to make a sticker for my keys, pretty chuffed with how they came out, he sells them now on his site, it's the little things isn't it ;)

I did some work on the inside.

I added some flexi clamps to hold the spade until my roof rack arrives.

I secured the maxtrax mini on the other side.

I bought a small ammunition box to hold my coffee making supplies, so will always be able to stop and make a quick brew on gas.

Oh the spade was a bit too yellow for liking, so I had sprayed it white to match the car (as it will be on the roof rack when it eventually arrives).

Great topic really enjoyed reading through it - thanks - wish I was 30 years younger and I would be doing the same thing!

Not sure if it will make a difference, but giving the JimnyStyle insulator a go for noise reduction.

I was looking at that & was sceptical - did it make any noise difference? Didn't think we got hot enough in the UK for any other benefit.

Hi Naylar,

I'm not too sure, I didn't have it long enough to test properly before I had to go back to work (at sea) for 3 months. I'll let you know when I'm back and have tested it.

Merry Christmas!

I had to put Chalky on axle stands and disconnect the battery as I work at sea 3 months at a time, so my house mates sent this for Xmas.

Absolutely love the ammo box storage solution.. I've been trying to get hold of an M.O.D composite ammo box for the zook for ages! Great content Chalky.
