On the inside I think - will they all come with white on the outside, ask the customer what they want or will the agent handle this?
Yes, I understood what he meant.I understood globalgregors was meaning alu rivnuts into alu?? I ie same/same.
And how ist f.e. the Airline in the back fitted? Just Glue or? Doors? Table in the real door? Seats? The problem alloy-steel-connection is everywhere...?!Yes, I understood what he meant.
But at some point you have to fix the object in question, i.e. use a screw. And that's where it happens, and it could be "contagious" to the surrounding materials. Even if you didn't use a screw but riveted directly, the object being mounted, if it's made of iron, will itself behave like an iron screw. With any luck, the things paint will hold up, but I wouldn't count on it.
A few years ago I recall seeing a rear light grill type protector for my MB G W460 that didn't need to be screwed into the rear panel.I really haven't been able to decide and probably won't until I have a car to view but in a perfect world we should be able to remove covers and get into that tail light cavity and yes stainless screws would be optimal, pending on the metal it is going through. If it is aluminum you have to coat the stainless to stop corrosion or rethink...I also need to know if the ladder will be an issue when the door is opened...happy motoring
This is all well outside my competence… is anodising sufficient to prevent the galvanic interaction, or does there rather need to be some membrane or gasket? I was thinking about this in the context of attaching accesories.Yes, I understood what he meant.

That is correct.And how ist f.e. the Airline in the back fitted? Just Glue or? Doors? Table in the real door? Seats? The problem alloy-steel-connection is everywhere...?!
Normally its to show that you are able to drive on a gravel road.Isn't such a protection rather meant against bushes and branches?
Because driving backwards against a wall or another car will of course damage more than the protector can handle.
Do not take it to serious DCPU! Of course there are a lot of reasons in favor. by the way not only in the bush!Lugging a Peli case up the ladder, walking round the vehicle carrying a spade, shackle, hi lift jack whilst in slippery mud...
Plenty of real occasions for those who will actually use the vehicle.
100% agreed! But if they come white out it’ll stay until my first tire rotation. I wonder if we’ll get a choice at some point.White lettering on the inside for me.
I can symphasiseI'm a steel wheel person. And now , so is Ronny!
i can sympathis, having had on one day three punctures in a day in Northern Namibia. Then the following day having had my tyres replaced , felt a terrible wobbling so stoped to check. One wheel stud left on front left and all other nuts loose on other wheels. Should have checked them more often as the corrugated roads were loosening the nuts as hadn’t been done up tight enough. Lesson learned. I thought it was just bad roads causing the wobble and noise until road workers flagged me downI'm a steel wheel person. And now , so is Ronny!
Someone will ask if the IG comes with a "wheel nut monitoring system". Apart from the one behind the steering wheel!, having had on one day three punctures in a day in Northern Namibia.

Mining industry solution is low tech but effective: Checkpoint IndicatorsIf corrugations cause lose nuts, perhaps some drips of mild (222) Locktite might help?
And I never trusted a rattle gun. Overtightening ain't good either!And remember to check wheel nuts yourself after having wheels removed for servicing or tyre changes. Never had a problem since.
