Thank you! Currently I have one layer of Sikaflex on (as I ran out). It rained a decent amount yesterday and no water came in. I did though just get more Sikaflex in the mail so I'll for sure be putting another layer on. I definitely don't want any more leaks! Are you talking about those cots...

(Jul. 19 2021) It's on! Actually mounting the roof was quite a hassle. I asked my father-in-law to lend a hand as well which was a huge help. It weighs slightly more when empty but with those windows in too the weight was quite a bit more. We had to do an awkward overhead press at an angle. I...

(Jul. 19 2021) The final day of the project! Today was the installation of the last window, removing the old roof, and installing the new Dormobile! Had to remove all of the old camera's, lights, CB mounts, trim, etc. It's coming off! Hey you! Next, I removed the snorkel head and...

I'm glad to hear that most people enjoy their Dormobile's. My wife hates the cold so a diesel heater is definitely in the works!

No way should you put a hard top on a Perentie! Too classic! I'm not sure what the '97SW is but it sounds like you need another Defender ha! These pop-top roofs are super cool

(Jul. 16 2021) Today's first order of business was buffing the paint. Nothing seemed to be happening, don't know why. I'll have to look more into the process and buff at a later date. So next we moved into installing a "sunroof" into the roof lid window position. It was awkward to fit. The...

(Jul. 15 2021) Applying a new type of primer. This one is gray which makes it much easier to see and apply evenly. You vs the guy she told you not to worry about :unsure: The painting turned out great! I'm excited to buff it tomorrow and see it really shine!

(Jul. 14 2021) The dried paint looked great when I walked in this morning. Luckily no bugs were stuck to it! Today the focus was installing the new gas struts and sanding and painting the lid section. The new strut is soooo much smaller and less obtrusive than the ancient one. There will be...

So far I've been using the Rustoleum automotive sandable primer and enamel. It's too late to change up our process now but I'll keep what you've said in mind as I pay attention to the finish degrading over time. If it gets bad fast I'll change it up as you've suggested. I appreciate your...

Here I will post the transformation of my Defender 110 into an expedition vehicle made for my wife and I. The plan is to be able to fit it into a shipping container and travel the world one day, hopefully sooner rather than later! (Nov. 2020) Here is when I first got my Defender after it was...

Are you using a long travel IFS kit? Who makes the LCAs? Did you ever put back on the RCV axles? I'd love to see the truck in person one day.
