Hi Mate
indeed custom bars by OverKill engineering - the front light bar (rugged ridge) is strong enough to stand an elephant on it and originally I was making a platform to film off then decided it would be strong enough to hold a roof top tent so I designed the rear bar (Hoop) and roof bars to compliment the rugged ridge. they all bolt together and are very modular in design - I can mount them at different distances apart to accommodate my Thule roof box and my filming equipment, the rear Hoop is designed to support my engine/radiator powered hot water shower and rear privacy tent (still in construction)- the mrs and I have already tested it out (roof top tent) and will probably go away over Christmas to really give it a shake down b4 the big cape trip.
cheers Hunty

I'd be putting the doors back on, unless you like water flowing through the car! The roof too as their is a fair amount of high speed dirt road and as cool as it looks with the top off choking on all that dust isn't. What sort of spares do you have? Start by compiling a list or get a list made for you by a jeep specialist of easily carried spares that you may need. I'd get all my belts and cooling system hoses changed and use the old ones as spares just for starters.
