To be fair that actually looks like the real deal and not a pretender like the one in the ops first post.

Nah, I disagree!
Admittedly my expeditions are mostly up mountainous green lanes, but there's the trick. A '90 can get to a lot of places that a 110 can't, in terms of manoeuvrability.
I couldn't possibly afford the kind of money that's being talked about here.
For a few hundred quid, I've:-
- riveted some eye hooks on the side and made an awning using tarps costing £4 each and a few carabiner hooks and cheap poles from the camping shop and stuff, all goes in a bag
- boarded out the back of the '90 so I can store underneath my tent, camping tables, chairs, fire bowl, charcoal, another awning for the tent and a military spade
- a toolkit and 4x4 Response kit box is always in the vehicle
- a frame with straps securely holds a number of stacking plastic boxes to maximise space
- two plastic boxes fit the full length of the back on the left, one containing two duvets, air bed, pillows etc, the other is underneath and is filled with firewood with a hole cut in the side to dispense it so you don't have to take the lid off
- the rest of the space holds a 23litre water container, has space for two rucksacks, two day sacks and coats and hats
- the back sides of the '90 are boarded out and up one side are secured two waffle boards, a spade, a mattock and a sledgehammer
The cab has an iPad mini sat nav, made by sticking some Velcro on the iPad and the centre of the dashboard, when it's in place it looks like it has a really expensive minimalist retro style digital centre console, and it means I don't have to stick anything on the windscreen that gets in way of the view. I've wired my electrics so it's all charged directly and doesn't need to be recharged at home. Same with my 'phone, which gives me internet access when linked to the iPad, so I can browse Trailwise and flick green lane coordinates straight onto my GPS sat nav.
On the outside it looks like a plain, slightly battered standard '90 with a 4x4 Response logo on the side. But it has pretty much everything I need for an expedition. And really hasn't cost that much to kit out.

Oh yes and I have a few 12v sockets rigged up so that I can charge up my 'phone etc from the car battery even when the engine isn't running, and run a fridge too. I want to put in a second battery so I can run the fridge when parked without fear of running down the starter battery. Charging 'phones and stuff doesn't hurt though.
I also use it for parties sometimes, I have a 400w 12v off grid sound system which I run out of the back of it, me and my mate go out sometimes, he does the decor and books the artists and stuff and I do the sound. It's just a car amp rigged up to 8 old studio monitors, but because the amp has crossovers built in you can set it up like a mini PA, with the bass frequencies going to some hi-fi bass cabs. Sounds quality is awesome. No generator noise either as I use about 600Ah of batteries.

True enough but instead of those plastic tarps that won't stand up to any significant gusts, shell out a little and get some surplus bivvy sheets. I had some as an awning on mine before I splashed out on a hannibal one and they're excellent. Really light, super strong and pack up really small plus they're very large.
