For your info, i did my version of the side mounted box prior to powerful uk making these and ther is also a polish company making the molle plates - the reason i didn't like them is that they cover the whole rear window with only small apatures to clean behind the rack. For the small cost of some ali strap, some unwin rail, ali etch primer and some black paint i made up my own ones. - also gives scoep to whip the side box off and put on a water tank or fuel cell.
theres always going to be the haters - some have said the side boxes are pointless but tbh i love it - shoes, dirtly cloths, rachet straps, mobile drinks bar when camping or even somewhere when you are parked up or camping to put wallet/phones/camera or valuesbles all easy to each but out of the way of rain/sun etc and someone easy to get to.
think my next item on the wish list will be the rear window hatch that landrover passion are making - this will be a cracking addition to the boot to access the fridge or other gear in the boot without having to open the swingaway and boot to get to stuff.

Looks very smart
I said on my post that I'm ready to be turned - yours is a great use case especially given the roof box setup, where those side pods must be helpful given the reduced storage options on top.
I guess they're pretty sturdy even at motorway speeds?2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...

In fact your whole setup looks so ready-to-go it does inspire the odd impromptu weekend away...2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...

to be honest it is handy and originally i always wanted the defender box just because it wasn't supposed to be for the disco and like mine 'different' so when the prices for the box came down from around 600-700 to 240 on ebay i deceided to get on with it - it has turned out to be weirdly useful.
in terms of strength, i dont really get a chance to go fast in mine as disco 3's are probably one of the most un-aerodynamic vehicles on the planet but it doesn't whistle

Sadly I have neither enough spare cash nor space on the drive for another vehicle...
That might change in a few weeks when my D3 is going for its MOT. 2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...
