Any sketchs pics or plans would be greatly appreciated.

ive slept in the jimny a few times crossing europe, and i dont fancy it again. unless you are under 4 tall, buy a roof tent. i saw a perfect one on ebay for around 400. if you are in a position where you need to sleep in the car (lions outside?) get a bigger vehicle.

The rear storage on this thread is excellent, I strongly recommend if you are interested in maximising your storage that you check it all out. The South Africans don't seem to do hard core of- roading like the UK, but they do lots of long haul expeditions in the bush. Where they need to camp and carry extra fuel and water
A guy called Ore has made an excellent shelf out of 18mm board which fits on the rear arm rests and is easily removed. It has been nicknamed the OreRak, (rack get it!!). Also he has posted a proper drawing which enables it to be made out of a standard 1/2 sheet of ply ~ £13. I'll see if I can find my copy and post here.
