As much as some people like originality, I like tasteful custom work because it鈥檚 an opportunity to express our creative skills. We love building custom bumpers, hidden winch mounts, or special racks and carriers.

Frustratingly I will not see the Land Rover until Christmas as I am currently working overseas and I am not home again until then. Hopefully Kathleen will manage to take a few more pictures when it is delivered next week.
