Ours do it even if it hasn't been driven. I just think its a good "sneaky" vantage point safe from others.

2 more lamps on, just another 2 next to the top ones to come.
Going to take her in to a local body shop this week just to talk about some paint work.
New all terrains should be going on the front this week as well. Last owner had put trail terrains on so marching all up.
Coming along nicely

Would it be worth buying a cheaper roof to cut a hatch into, keeping your original roof?New plate and final lights addition.
Just ordered some challenger wheels arriving in March. I quite like my wheels but they’re painted really badly and are chipping off everywhere so look really ratty.
Shooting hatch goes in on Monday/Tuesday

Anyone got any
I’m sure it’ll be fine
.
the person before me already bodged a second sunroof in the back section, so there’s already a hole, and one which leaks aggressively. I don’t think it can get any worse. If anything it’s going to make it more rigid, warmer and quieter.
I’m sure it’ll be fine

Let out the steering stop bolts to solve the "Insa Turbo rubbing on the radius arm when in full lock" situation, noted they were pretty old and worn so ordered a pair of SS M12s...
...In five different lengths in case the situation is more severe than current bolt length can tolerate

Offered up the interior trim for the rear windows.
Realised that whoever cut the holes did not cut them in the correct location !!
.
Packaged up the trims ready to go back and will now be ordering pano glass.
I’ve decided to just carpet all round the window instead. Doesn’t look too bad actually.

Light covers are a go. Very very happy with how they look. Particularly with the DRL’s.
Just about in for the big chop on the roof for the shooting hatch
Will report back later in the week with progress.
Some bloke 
knocked on the door and asked if the “jeep” could get him out of a pickle
.
Apparently a friend couldn’t help (out of town) but he said to go see us.
Anyway only 5mins out the back and he’s in deep. It would have looked like an icey puddle but no it’s at least a foot deep with a muddy bottom, (it’s a muddy puddle on goggle earth in the summer most of the time)
He brought me to the front of the stuck car, I said let me drag you the way you went in, cos there is no way any of us want to find a tow point on the front in icey watter.
So got round him, turned round and stopped on solid ground. Ran out about 30ft of winch freewheel.
Then found out I have flat batteries in the remote
.
Oh well lo/lock sorted that.
Good deed done

Presumably you can unlatch the glass and take it out?
You could mount a decent machine gun on your front roof rail.
Who, (sorry what) are you going to be shooting?

You can indeed. Will be mega in the summer as can run without the hatch in.
Unsure on who/what we’ll be shooting as yet, but we can if we want
.
I wondered if it was a dogging thing, as I can’t believe they would have tried to push it further in that mud puddle

Find it hard to believe you don't have a toggle switch or other switch on the vehicle for the winch. Or a wired remote.Some bloke

Flat batts like that could leave you in a real pickle.
I know.Find it hard to believe you don't have a toggle switch or other switch on the vehicle for the winch. Or a wired remote.
Flat batts like that could leave you in a real pickle.
I thought the wired remote was in there too, but no, or not where I looked. So will hunt that down.
Don’t worry if it was me that was stuck I could have worked something out
. With the tools available.J
