Hi Tack, I am looking at this as well. I have a HZJ75 with only the front seats and I know that the 75 comes inthree floor pans. (2 front seats, 5 seats or eleven). In my case there is no mounting point available so I would have to make the amendments myself. You can score all parts. One of...

I see, Have you set this up that the input comes immediately from the alternator and than both the starter and the leisure battery are charged via the DC DC charger? I am just wondering if a DC DC charger makes sense on an old vehicule with a simple alternator (no EURO 6 alternator ) where your...

Sorry to be asking this stupid question, but why would you actually want to have a DC DC charger for the leisure battery? I just have the starter connected to the leisure battery via a cyrix which is a lot cheaper. Thanks in advance!

You don't think that charge at this high amperage for a long time will put a lot of strain on the alternator, even such a big one as yours? Also are you so far just planning on connecting it directly or are you using a charger for it? The question is, if you have a good BMS do you actually even...

Hi Grant, Any progress on this topic? I am also looking into this option from the same seller. My current concerns are: Using it as a leisure battery and charging it not only with solar but also with the alternator. I believe the alternator puts out to much current for the packs. Also I read...

Congratulations Dave! Great buy! Let us know what you think of it! Crazy to hear that the shipping + VAT add so much to the price! Always better to have some local conatct point in case something would go wrong!

Exactly Karl! We did talk about your tent! I am keeping an eye on the website of Big Country as I was thinking to order the tent immediately from there. Now I notice this tent from Tuff Trek and it does look even better but the price is also a bit steeper. To be fair, I do not yet have an idea...

Sorry to keep on bothering, but has anyone seen this hard top roof top tent from tuff trek, it seems amazing!!? Maybe also made by Big Country??

I see, thanks! Pretty expensive...especially if you compare it with the prices listed on the website of Big Country!

Where would one buy the big country awning? Are they deliverable in the UK? Any idea about how they cope in the wind? I have a regular awning from Djebel line and it flipped with wind, made me want to replace is with a proper one from fiamma. Would be interested to see how this one really is!

Thanks Ben, I'll have a look into the Sikaflex offering! PS: With regards to my comment about panels being glued I wasn't so clear, I wanted to specify that in current cars panels are often glued. Obviously the 70 series is not one of those :D

Great pictures! Seems like a great trip! On one pic I see lot's of vehicles (including a bus), I originally imagined you wouldn't see to many cars, but is this not the case?

I also rebuild the front and back axles on the 75 two years ago when they mentioned there was some play on a bearing during the MOT. I am no mechanic at all, and I must say that this felt like doing brain surgery for me :grin:. At the end I was really happy to have done it, was a great...

Maybe another question for the body work experts here: I was thinking to install the previously mentioned retainers for installing the rear seats. Eventually there will be a metal bar installed over the floor pan onto the assembly, which will be squeeze the floorpan. So I am wondering, is it...
