Yeh Tony i will be getting a rear bar with twin carriers in the not to distant future. I think it might be more fesable to leave the oem bar & add side rails & steps to it. I then should be able to afford the rear bar & other goodies earlier.

I reckon the nissan bar helps it present like a quality tourer and the side bars and step combo will add to a classy looking unit for sure mate. Changing to an XroX or Millweld bar will completely change the presentation of the car. I like the tube stuff but i reckon yours looks great in the direction you have already taken it mate. and well match with the new wheels.

Thanks MR i think your right i should just add to that bar & spend the money elsewhere.

Hi mate, the panel is on the roof & the cable goes down the back inside the rear door cavity. The box on the roof is only a storage box for the tent annexe, annexe floor & our clothes when we travel. There is also a control panel in there for the roof lights, tent & camp led lights. Solar reg is mounted inside the car on the cargo barrier. I've put some photos of the solar system on Rossco's portable fridge thread in general chat. I take more detailed photos if you require more.

Many thanks for your imput kelvin
