[QUOTE="BenB, post: 6199236, member: 1129"] Thanks everyone for their comments so far, glad it's useful and I agree that hopefully others will do the same with their vehicles, kit, machinery etc. It's all well and good reading the official reviews but in the is industry we give things a rather good 'workout' ! I will certainly keep things updated as we go. Cheers [USER=674]@Mounty[/USER] for your comments and the pictures. I've pretty much copied you in the mean time, just a couple of plastic boxes to chuck stuff in. I have checked Gearmate out, it looks very nice but as you say it certainly isn't cheap. I had wondered if a chippy could knock something up as well actually. Something to think about in the summer. Certainly be interested to see how your vehicle is going - is that a Disco 5 commercial? I admit that my Skoda estate did the job - [I]just. [/I]It was actually just a regular one, not even the 4x4 version! Unfortunately it was getting to a stage where increasingly I couldn't get down tracks/to fields without ditching the car and walking. Being an agronomist I am very used to walking, very much enjoy it, however at busy times of year I simply can't afford to lose 10 minutes walking down a track to a field and then 10 minutes back again. Add into the fact that a Skoda estate (or most normal cars, for that matter) are simply not designed to be bumping down tracks and going off road on a daily basis. I probably went through 4-6 tyres a year on the Skoda - not from wearing them out, from killing them before they were done. Also had to have steering realigned a couple of times a year - and I'm a careful driver! So to me, there's people doing a heck of a lot more polluting things than me buying a Land Cruiser (is 33 mpg 'gas guzzling'?), which will hopefully last for many years whilst others have throw away the Lithium batteries from their electric car... I am also under no illusions, with the way things are going, that this has the potential to be my last car with an internal combustion engine. However, this won't matter if [USER=6]@Clive[/USER] 's prophecy comes true and agronomists are no longer required. Maybe then I can just sit at home with a coffee watching drone imagery coming in!
