Not a huge amount of progress over the summer, mainly because of being away and it being too damn hot to do much. But got the wiring finished, although it needs a slight tidy:

Plus finally got around to redoing the latches on the rear drawer. From factory the central latch didnt fit properly, and was attached with only two screws to the body of the drawer. That is ok, because i was going to replace it with side compression latches instead. So out came the TIG and welded in a plate and then cut holes for the two side latches:

A lick of paint and it looks like this:

It will get raptor coated at some point when i build the side steps, but until then our finest Australian Export $2 can will do. Not sold on the gunmetal grey fascia for the drawer too, so will probably repaint that in black at a later point.
And finally I rewired the winch solenoid to a plate, so it will fit on the side of the battery:

Thats about it for now. Ive been driving it around a bit to get some kms on the engine, and all has been well so far. Except the front diff is leaking like a sieve.
Need to tidy up the tray sides and mount them, and then I can do the interior and canopy
