I was going to do one in the back of my custom canopy but it never eventuated. Yours looks great.

Just wondering if the drawers are on rollers or not and are they full length of tray? How do they go?

The draws aren't on rollers, not the full length of the tray. I have room infront of the draws to put my spare in. Wish the draws were an inch or so longer for my camping chair, but I am not complaining.

The sticker across the window, although the wheel carrier has only been on there about 8months. There are more shots on here somewhere

The seal was on the canopy when I bought it, so didn't do anything to it.

I was actually refering to the rubber seal you have on the tailgate. the canopies seal up well enough, but tons of dust and exhaust fumes get in the tailgate..

The tailgate seal was there when I bought the brumby, it was just stuck down a bit better to provide a better seal. Not too sure if it is doing anything more than not having a seal there.

I remember the first 2.2 Brumby I drove. It belonged to ARM and I use to borrow it whenever I could. Those were the days....
