A little flora and fauna shot from the other day in AD. GWagons are about as common as 4Runners in the US it seems. I rather preferred this work beast that our Belleau Wood tour guide was driving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seat covers are great, believe they are back for sale under new branding. The canvas has held up well to a lot of abuse over time.

I can't fault your logic in the slightest; an application based decision is def the way to go with things (at least in my OCD mind) and yours makes sense in context. For me I think if I sort a way to nest the maxtrax up front (which is where I wanted them all along and was a major excuse, I...

I think tan would be the way to go vice grey. I would also have no qualms about the Wet Okles being thrown into the mix for consideration; I've been exceptionally happy with mine and their fit really makes them part of the truck. I've got canvas in Coyote and they are great for the duties that...

I think there is a set of LR3 escape gear covers in tan for sale over on D90/Defender Source: http://www.defendersource.com/forum/f9/brand-new-lr3-escape-gear-kahki-seat-covers-69195.html

If I could find a way to get you the faded XD hood off the parts truck in Virginia I would just give it to you, but I think even free shipping may be prohibitive.

Appreciate the comments on Coyote, she has been a journey. As far as the rear tailgate goes-the simplest way would be to buy the metal precut (i.e. Colombia Overland I think) but I rather enjoyed the process of taking a piece of diamond plate and doing it myself. If I were doing it again today...

Beautiful place to enjoy your truck! I'd say you probably know already that it would be worth it to bite the bullet and do the essentials kit + the tree sliders (and if you're going there...why not the rack too, right?) I think your thought process is solid-use the front as the metric for if...

Biased but without question concur with this; the one place Dii's are a bit more user friendly is if you're using it to haul people on the road a lot. Not that a D1 is bad (till you start modifying it). In the grand scheme of things between headgasket issues and thin frames, I will always...

There will def be flooring; the comment about the panels is interesting as my biggest concern is once the panels are emplaced you then have only the crossbars to use for things, i.e. M8 eyebolts or what have you-which will likely be enough but the panels themselves don't appear to have any...

I'm definitely digging the ability to use M8 hardware-eyebolts or otherwise-for the rack. I'm thinking two sections of flooring when I get it home will be the start point. I'll also be attaching my antenna mount(s) (got those from prospeed, solid build on those), the maxtrax, and likely some...

I'd thought about it when I ordered and Ben and I were discussing add-ons to the order; I assumed that I wouldn't really need/want it but as I play with it I realize that I'll want flooring up there if but for no other reason that where this a ladder my kids will climb and they tend to find...

See...here you are with the solid info. In true Marine fashion I knew how to make the blue on the bumper black; I got a can of krylon out and went to work! As you can see in the pic the companion end on the jumper leads is still baby blue. You and John B both come with the knowledge like "you...

Very glad to see this resurrection, and to have played a small part-I almost regret grabbing that rust bucket XD solely for the low rack for Coyote...almost! (If I ever sell it, you get dibs-but I gotta tell you, its never getting sold!) Any thoughts to fixing the hood? I would think that a...

I could do the swing away, but fear it will get crowded back there quick. My intent is to put some rotopax back there between the tire and the door-there should be just enough room for them without them rubbing. (edit for a bit more): I've also considered a hi-lift mount back there, and likely...

Truly a beautiful color and definitely makes for a unique vehicle, the black looks excellent with it. For a period of time my wife wanted the gold colored LR3 just b/c I think she thought it was absurd-but came around to green, I may have to show her yours though in case we ever end up looking...

Bumper mounted anderson plug While I don't really have a need for this given the dual battery and the microstart, I've done it with most of my trucks and with the parts on hand I finally got around to installing an anderson plug on the front bumper running to the primary battery. If nothing...

Awning was frowned upon by the better half (was going to get an ARB), going to hold off on that till we're standing in the rain somewhere together and point out again its merits! Longer term plan, like Phase IV of this truck, would be to get a Baroud RTT for some journeys but that is some time...

Those are pretty interesting. I actually brought a set of pins back from the US, I mounted a couple of pair of maxtrax on my D1 and fab'd up two pieces of aluminum with holes appropriate distance apart for the quick detach pins and brought it all back know the rack was coming. Now I just...

Appreciate the comments from you and Jerry; your hitch fits perfectly in and I can't wait to get back to the US to start doing some work with it!
