Stone Stomper?
(Preview)
Custom built and tied-down bunch of plastic is latest way to protect your generator? Not to mention the weight, with 2 gas bottles and a jerry can on drawbar, chains not crossed, and the horror of an LC200 with no WDH. And his mate had a big van behind a Prado.Cheers

How to fix sail track to van
(Preview)
Hi All, Month or so ago I asked for advice on fixing a sail track to the fibreglass roof of my Transit van. I ended up using Sikaflex 11FC and it worked fantastically well.
