After market Side Carrier box

I've been choppin'n'changin things around on the exterior rear.

I have a Genuine ladder, currently mounted on the left (N/S) ... LR states it can be mounted on either side.
I have an aftermarket Side Carrier box ... LR states this can ONLY be mounted on the right (O/S)

Further I have the Molle plates for both sides.

Now I have fitted the RH Molle plate and modified the ladder to fit over it. (just drill two new holes for upper mounting)

Now by luck I got hold of a Molle plate LH Version 3, which has pre-drilled holes to mount the Side Carrier box. But this is removable as it covers the whole of the Molle plate.

In addition I removed the LR oval badge from the Side Carrier box and replaced it with the insert of an aftermarket DEFENDER logo, from a rear wheel cover.

Looks very different

Very cool. I like that Defender logo. I didn't scroll far enough and thought that looked very familiar. I have the same logo on my aftermarket tire cover! Good use of it on the box.
My aftermarket box came with a little logo that was a caricature of a Defender. It was pretty cool, but fell off pretty quick. I hoped on Aliexpress and got three different versions of the factory logo as replacements. Kind of a pita to find the correct size since it's a touch smaller. Ended up with the right one though.

I like those molle plates as well. Very useful and rugged looking. Nice job.
