Well I braved the elements on a 160 mile round trip in the v8....

I’m sure a few choice words may have been said upon discovering a mistake had been made

Everyone makes mistakes, it’s why they put rubbers on pencils.

Greeni, do you think your hoops could be (relatively) easily modified to a 110DCPU tub? Monsieur Le Grenadier

Is it just the rear tub you are wanting to do? If so, it is just the top connecting rails that will require shortening. From memory I'm sure the tub area of a double cab is shorter than a 90 tub.

Looking great! Can't wait to see what colour hood you're going for!

Yes, rear tub on a DCPU. Can’t work out if it is easier to buy (from SD?) and adapt, or have made from scratch? But I’d like something more robust that standard hoops so that I can eventually put of roof-tent on...

Do you mind me asking what the finish is on the cappings in the tub?

The project manager has today spoken with Exmoor and an exchange hood has been arranged.
