Pom, If it's any consolation, both the rear doors are rusted through just below the latches on the inside 
To be fair though, the truck is pretty much rust free from front to back (accepting the doors!). I just need to tidy up the tub now the tilt is off as it is pretty chipped around the lip, along with replacing the rear fixing kit as all the rear bolt heads are rusted. |

Matt will kill me but I am probably going to grind off the brackets off for the Patriot rack. Going to mount the tent direct to the cage. The workmanship is top notch, don't want to cover it up with a rack
Going to side mount the roof tent on the cage and use an RV5 Oz Tent straight off the back attaching the awning of the tent to the opened skirt of the roof tent (if you get my drift?!) You will notice in the bottom right of the second picture, a rather tasty powder coated t chest.....cheers Matt . Once the larger storage chest from Matt's first Double Cab set up has been powder coated, the 1st phase of the changes will be complete |

And you Matt
Cheers also for pointing out that my front seats were from a Puma......owed it since October and not realised that the front and rear seats were completely different cloth  .
If you have an original spec TD5, Puma seats come highly recommended! |

LED's are in the plan. The cage has light brackets on the inside of the cross members. Looking at the tent being mounted to the top with LED's mounted underneath. Dead chuffed with how it's working out. |
