Is that the "moon roof" that you're installing in your 1000?

Lol no was showing that cool overhead storage with visors. We will be doing roofs though the whole family wants them.
Have the sunroofs already but not thinking I'll start cutting holes in the roof on top of everything else before Takeover. With this roof there's a lot plastic work to be done it's not like a flat roof. And they will be manual with lexan for weight savings I hate high weight

I've always wanted one of these,(black/gray of course)

CP - sorry Ohana hijacked your thread.

Here's a picture of my Dads Land Rover stuck in the Ross River about 80 miles from Alice Springs, Northern Territory Australia.
Sorry it's a picture of a picture in an old (really old) photo album.
I was 14 and Dad was teaching my to drive.
He told me to maintain 15 mph.
So I'm watching the speedometer and suddenly Dad reaches up and turns the ignition off.
Apparently he wanted the vehicle speed to be 15, not the little hand on the speedometer.

We strung together every thing we could lay our hands on (cable, chain, rope) to reach the tree in the background.
Used a come-a-long to stretched the nylon strap then Dad jumped in dropped the clutch in reverse and it popped right out.

And now the point of this post.
Before living in Oz Dad had a Jeep Wagoneer in the states.
Dad used to say that there wasn't anywhere the Land Rover couldn't go that his Jeep Wagoneer couldn't have towed it.

Hey @ohanacreek how about this item for the Pioneer lol. It's from that LR View attachment 39281

Trying to keep weight low may get the dash nets and I got a storage idea just been too sick to mess with it this week.

 

[ohanacreek]

I think this would've been pretty light plus visors nice. Whatcha got rolling around upstairs??

Nothing on par with your build skills, let me mock it up and feel free to make some suggestions.

You've got good ideas I like seeing what you come up with

Getting all the seats "prepped out" for the new covers. Decided to tape the gel pads down with upholstery/vinyl tape from school busses. Anyone that remembers riding on a bus remembers this crap, it makes duct tape look like masking tape.
I wanted the gel to not move around under the new covers and I also didn't want to destroy the seat underneath. I'm sure this'll give years of good service life. Should be nice and cool when hot warm when cold and be very cozy! Expect a little sound loss and heat dampening as well.
In combination with the Fox shocks should be good for extended late night excursions and will help with butt sliding around in the rough stuff

This here is the back seat. Make it nice for the rear people too. All seating will have gel. Unbelievably heavy any that sucks been trying not to add heavy stuff but I think I'll sacrifice 15 pounds throughout for comfort

Comfort is definitely the FIRST word in any ride!

Well I'd say dependability first but we already have that with the Honda's! So that's just a given.

I'd love to put 2 sunroofs on my rig but after seeing what I did with that roof, I don't trust myself any more lol.

Yours would be easy. I'd do it buddy. Go out to a pick and pull and grab a couple aftermarket manuals for 20bucks. Think how nice it'll be in the summer for cooling and take out look at the stars!
I'll probably be putting my front one in backwards for massive air movement

Yeah my cage is perfect for twin sunroofs with the center tube. Let me see how my next roof turns out lol. My confidence level is pretty much zero. Guess I was due for a reality slap in the face. I was getting kinda cocky there lol.

I've seen the stuff you build and it always come out good. I have confidence that you'll get er lined out.

Don't go trying to lower the bar. We all know that you'll get it worked out.

Couple more days of kicking myself and I'll get back on the horse lol. I don't handle failure well lol.

Everyone makes mistakes, but only few are man enough to admit to them.

I like to talk about the "VERY FEW" times that I don't make a mistake!
