Modification Work Begins!

So the final (yeah right...) few modifications are going on the disco this week:

1. Shire Fabrications Rock Sliders (finally being fitted - having acquired them at LRO)
2. Next Generation Sump Guard
3. Next Generation Winch Mount
4. 13500 Winch

Then it's off to Gloucester to get a:

5. Prospeed Ladder

Then it's off to Paranoid Engineering to get:

6. Custom modular Roof Rack
7. External lockers where the third row windows go

Then it's off to the auto electrician to have camp area lights re-fitted to the new rack

My vehicle will be the pilot pre/production model..

No pictures to show yet. Think the looks and sleekness of the prospeed combined with the usability and modular aspects of the cargo bear and other modular/customisable racks.

How deep are you going to do the lockers in the back? Sounds like the vehicle is being built for serious off-roading Thumbs Up

Looking forward to seeing the work and outcome, sounds cracking.

I’ve been watching Patriot Games on YouTube!

Love some of their gear. Would love a LC79 Mini Megatourer and TH610!

Don't confuse Paranoid with Patriot. Paranoid are based in the midlands whereas Patriot are Australians with beards.

Oh no, I didn’t, don’t worry!!

Was just thinking of modded vehicles and like the PCOR kit.

Very interested in the paranoid kit though, website seems decent, if a little bare at present! I’m sure they improve their stock range.

They are best known for custom engineering jobs. A bunch of ex forces.

They have only just started into the "off the shelf" market and the D3/D4 market is brand new to them.
