Modified Camel Trophy Build - Day 10 & 11

Still no V5 but I'm glad to report that we are finally done. Now we just wait for the V5 and then the rig gets loaded into the container at Southampton.

And now, the flood of completed rig pictures.

Modified Camel Trophy Build - Day 8 & 9

The rig went to Brownchurch today, where we made a spot decision to switch from the heavy duty roof rack (their current rack that is most similar to the Camel Trophy rack) to the 91 rack system. This is a galvanized rack dipped in black nylon for a very cool black finish. I think it looks better than the heavy duty rack because of the lower profile and black nylon coating.

We still don't have a V5, so we still can't ship. Hopefully we will get it by Thursday as the last day to get the car to Southampton is Friday if we want to make Doug's February container.

First some gratuitous winch shots (Superwinch Husky 10).

Shakedown Test and MOT

The build is pretty much done with the exception of the roof rack. Since the car needs to go to Brownchurch to get the roof rack fitted, we used the trip there as an excuse to do a shakedown test and get an MOT.
