as far as i know the nets on the bonnet is for challenges, with a synthetic winch rope they unroll the rope off the winch and put it under the net. then when they need to use it makes it alot quicker.

Most definitely Pinky and Perky!

Its a good all round compromise. It has 285 Bfg's and 11" of travel in the suspension. So is good on the rock and ok in deep ruts.

Too right! Its got a set of rally bonnets catches that have waited for months to get around to doing. When the rear cross member is done i want to take the spare wheel off the roof and put it back on the door because she sways a lot with it up there. I might put the spare wheel cover up there and stow some recovery gear in it instead. Of course i need to extend all the breather pipes. I need to wire up the electric heater seats. Also got a problem with a dodgy connection to the heater switch. Then there is anything that goes wrong... and theres the front light guards... and the... No she will always be a work in progress!
