  The flaps on the hinge suppose to fold under and there is 2 long elastics that come with the tent and hook into the loops on the flaps holding the flaps tight on the hinges. The front fly awning looks to have the shorter tension bars from the side windows. Put all the bars together and pick the longer bars.

  I add some heat shrink to the 2 longer ones and glued the little caps on the ends. The similar kings version has an awning that has an awning which looking to see if it attaches to the black fly.

  Interesting comments by all. Thanks. Most Australians live in our capital cities, therefore so do most readers here - including myself. However I'd wonder if those living rurally are more likely to know someone who has died in a vehicle incident. Of those rural fatalities it would be interesting to know what percentage are from head-on, hittng a tree, or rolling a 4WD. In each instance I'd expect that not having a bull-bar would make fatality less likely. For myself, based on "keep-it-light" thinking my 120 is stock. When going remote if I have to drive at night I stick to 80kmh. My only fitted accessories are bash plates and rated recovery points on the front. NB: I'm happy to share my mount design for the sand-flag too - a challenge with no bull-bar and no roof-rack! Rather than a fitted second-battery I have a Bluetti power station. I haven't done a lift either. Last year I did Simpson Dessert via the Madigan Line with no problem. Prior to that Oodnatta Track in it and twice Strzlecki Track. The challenge of climbing the dunes on Madigan's was badly impacted by the carved out wombat holes. Being the lighter vehicle I handled the inevitable bounce of those climbs with more ease than our other vehicle even though I had much lower clearance. One vehicle we passed was a current model Land Cruiser 300 kitted out with everything and it's driver parked for a five day wait for a mechanic to arrive to replace a broken rear shock which had recently been upgraded to Old Man Emu extra HD shocks. He was not pleased. @NorthOz Have you done your remake or addendum yet? Plus one from me for comments of those srefuting your statement that a bull-bar adds to safety. I think there may though be a caveat in regards to factory-fitted bull-bars which have in fact had the engineered crumple zones, the protection shell, and airbag and seatbelt restraint actuator performance all incorporated into their design. I'm less clear if that extends beyond "factory-fitted" to also incorporate OEM...? Three more reasons for your list: (1) resist the marketing of the accessorizing product pushers; (2) #keep-it-light philosophy provides not just a more fuel-efficient vehicle, but also a more capable, reliable, and longterm more durable vehicle for both off-roading and for rough-roading; (3) for serious off-road recovery a hand winch is for more capable and versatile than a fixed bull-bar-mounted electric winch - and only needs to be caried when doing trips that might need recovery. The rest of the time it can sit happily in storage at home. #keep-it-light

I like that some of them are based on a reasonable amount of ownership and use, as compared to someone borrowing a new car for a day and more or less just run through the items mentioned in the spec. Great work. I have a question about the shark skin seat covers. I've had a dealership telling me to not put covers on leather seats, something about the stitching digging into the leather, or putting the stitching under too much stress and causing damage. Anything you've come across? Have you removed any of your covers and noticed anything to back up this claim? Thanks! :)

  Nice work mate! You’ll love it. Its hard to know as I’m not sure what product they’ll use as there are many rust preventions out there (see me videos on rust prevention). If you will be doing a lot of beach of work, some rust prevention is better than nothing. I like to use lanolin based products and spray the chassis and components down after every trip. But if you want a “set and forget” setup, then a professional job might better for you 👍
