Hi Drewski,

I have a SR5 with a Carryboy canopy if you would like to see pics. They are a great lid and look a part of the car. Dollar wise they are dearer though.

And yes i agree Richs Car is a sweet looking rig.

HLX40 man,

That Black Beast looks so good congrats on a nice rig.

Did you worry about the legal side of things when you got the larger wheels and tyres ?

I stuck with the poxy small Alloy ones and 14mm of extra rubber with Cooper AT's.
