Don't put that thing in a river until you upgrade the door seals, unless it's already been done before you got your hands on it because it'll leak like julia gillards government.
Are you running a dual battery setup? What lift kit are you putting in?

Yeah....door seals need upgrading. Dont fancy getting the carpet wet. No dual battery setup as yet. Although i may put a different tray on at some point and mount the battery up under that so we'll see. Getting an Ironman liftkit through Morton hopefully. At a price that's way too good to pass up.
