This is what I got from Cassiem. It's not even the same table and nothing on the versa-box or missing hardware.

I have a phonecall either today or next week with Cassiem, I will ask for instructions.
Also need to know if anyone is missing parts of their orders.

I've not opened my package yet - I am not ready to do the installation and I don't want to tear into the box until I am ready. I will just have to hope I have everything and it's all in good condition. The package appears intact and undamaged best I can tell.

Several people have asked how to install the shelf in the front of the cab above the driver/passenger area.
I used m6 bolts and rivnuts. Will probably take down later and put in some sort of buffer so I don't have metal on metal.

just drove it home from the OTM Cruisers.
Drives a little better and definitely feels more solid now. I was thinking it would be a bit more top heavy, but it doesn’t, so that’s a good thing. Now to put the fit out in the back.

Looks great! Is that the 50mm taller pop-top variant?
Looks good!
A bit of self-adhesive felt would work nicely I bet.
What rivnut tool do/did you use?
Yes sir it’s the taller version.
Seeing yours kinda makes me wish I’d gone with the taller one
Yeah it was decided by the wife, she said it would be easier to keep the blanket etc. up top so it won’t get dirty.Seeing yours kinda makes me wish I’d gone with the taller one

Just some cheapo hand held from amazon
Because neither my wife or I are over 5’ 10” My hope is that we can get away without using a cushion over the rear small hatch and use that void to store blankets and pillows. We’ll see if it works or not though.Yeah it was decided by the wife, she said it would be easier to keep the blanket etc. up top so it won’t get dirty.
Cool. Thanks. Was wondering if those are any good. And I forgot if I asked this already but what nibbler did you use to cut your roof off?

Wiring in the rear brake light on the conversion:
BLUF:
Red --> Green/White
Black --> White/Black
From Alu-innovations light there are two wires going from the LED brake light into the vehicle. Mine had red and black.
Red goes to brake positive. My 1995 FZJ75 Middle East spec has its wiring harness going to the left rear OEM brake light brake positive is Green/White (solid green with white stripe).
Black goes to ground. My OEM wiring harness ground is White/Black (solid white with black stripe).
I used a fishtape to run a connector wire up my D pillar.
The LED brake light only activates when you press the brake. It is not on when your lights are on.

Are you 24v or 12v? Do you know the voltage range that brake light will accept?
My truck is 24v, so not sure tapping into the vehicle brake light circuit will work on the third light on the top.
I got the lights working for the conversion, I wired a 12v. source up the B-pillar from my 12v. panel. I connected blue to ground and brown to hot.

I am 12v. I'm unsure what range the light will accept but aren't most Aussie vehicles 24v? Would suprise me if it couldn't take 24v.
Good to know on the interior lights!
I'm 24 v also, and I could never get an answer from Cassiem on what voltage the LED lights could take. My plan is to wire the brake light to stand alone 12v power with a switch and use as an exterior light... may or may not shed enough light to be useful. If that doesn't work I'll wire an inline buck converter for the brakes. I had to do that for the lights in my bumper and the little converters have held up for 3+ years.
Now that the tent is finished I got the fit out installed this weekend.

Aussie rigs are 12v.
I know LED's take a wide range of voltage, so it may work with 24v? That's a good idea to use it as an exterior light, if in fact it puts out enough light.
My other thought, would be to wire it to my 12v trailer light converter box. Wiring is so time consuming, I spent a few hours yesterday, just routing/terminating two wires for the tent power.
That looks great, did you design/build it? What thickness/grade plywood is that and what's it skinned with?
