That looks very smart. Much nicer than Gerry's. But what if you lose/break it?

As an aside, I thought to be 'Frenched' meant that you've tried to get some semblance of customer service in France but been met with a (often rude/bolshy) blank face and dismissive attitude. I was 'Frenched' yesterday at the Post Office for having the temerity to ask why my reimbursement for three stolen parcels, (yes, stolen by a postal worker and actually confirmed by the Post Office themselves), and valued at almost 300€, has still not been processed after four months.

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Not sure if it's a bespoke size/shape or a commercially available one from someone like these guys:

You may be right there - I think this one has a built in lock in the central handle?

A little more googling and there's even a side window replacement kit to give you this:

If the new D4ender really does get up close and personal with its surroundings then the side 'saddle bags'
are potentially a rip-off hazard, there is a good reason why traditionally to load an expedition vehicle you look
to the front, back and top... but then maybe this this old thinking for new LR Shocked

The spare wheel area has offered some interesting solutions...and it appears that Jerry not only can but has...
