Absolutely stunning. Thanks for the photos mate! Enjoy! |
Not sure what an RAI is, but I eventually took off my Molle Plates. I thought they looked cool and were semi-useful when overlanding. However, even my noise damaged ears couldn't take the increase in road noise. I noticed after I removed them that even Simon removed his from the Stig. Maybe the same reason. BTW - That rig looks GREAT!

Curious. What am I looking at here? Is this just what it looks like with the trim removed or do you have some sort of custom mounting solution in this area? (Window trim) https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/landrov...d7e78baca6.jpg |

Sorry to hear about the mole plates. I almost bought them but because I have the frontrunner rack I wouldn't be able to mount them, though sounds like I would not have been happy with them anyways. Instead I bought some mounts for the rear tire to hold my rotopax cans or recovery boards.

FWIW, I run the PowerfulUK right-hand molle plate with two, 2.5-gal FuelPax cans (think Roto-Pax "lite", not built as sturdy as RoroPax since regular blow molded rather than roto-molded, but a bit thinner, lighter and with a bit better capacity), pretty much all the time, empty or full depending of whether I am overlanding / off-roading in the boonies or driving in the city for business. I can't hear wind noise from plate or cans at all back there. I did put a little foam tape on the contact points of the cans against the molle plate, to minimize noise from vibrations, especially when off-road. Other than that, the setup seems whisper quiet to me.
I don't have a RAI or a roof rack, which are probably much worse "offenders" when it comes to wind noise. And I did use two specially designed backing plates as reinforcements for the two lockable Roro-Pax mounts, which probably helped a great deal in minimizing any vibrations and flex of the molle plate when these are both on and filled with 5 gallons total of fuel. I'd definitely recommend using backing plates if mounting any type of fuel cans or other heavy-iah accessories on these molle plates, they are made of fairly thin aluminum after all. |

p.s. Good to see you on another forum. If my memory serves me, I think I remember you from RR.net, and maybe one or two others. |
