My vehicle will be the pilot pre/production model..
No pictures to show yet. Think the looks and sleekness of the prospeed combined with the usability and modular aspects of the cargo bear and other modular/customisable racks.D3 07 SE - still going strong

How deep are you going to do the lockers in the back? Sounds like the vehicle is being built for serious off-roading

Looking forward to seeing the work and outcome, sounds cracking.
I’ve been watching Patriot Games on YouTube!
Love some of their gear. Would love a LC79 Mini Megatourer and TH610!

Don't confuse Paranoid with Patriot. Paranoid are based in the midlands whereas Patriot are Australians with beards.

Oh no, I didn’t, don’t worry!!
Was just thinking of modded vehicles and like the PCOR kit.
Very interested in the paranoid kit though, website seems decent, if a little bare at present! I’m sure they improve their stock range.

They are best known for custom engineering jobs. A bunch of ex forces.
They have only just started into the "off the shelf" market and the D3/D4 market is brand new to them.D3 07 SE - still going strong
