Very nice.

You happy with the escape gear covers? I'm considering them as the leather seats are getting a bit worn.....they are 12 years old.

I had Escape Gear covers in my Cruiser as well, and they served me very well over 7 odd years of regular abuse!

On the Pajero - so far so good. 8-)

Looks awesome. Where did you install the water tank?

The watertank sits behind the driver seat, with the dual battery and aux electrics behind the passenger seat. This creates a nice shelf for my camera bag, etc.

In this pic you can see the space created on the front of the drawer system for it.

I can take some more pics if you want.
