OEM they come in two sizes 20mm for SWB and 22mm for Maxi.
Maxi ARB is an upgrade for SWB Caddy. This is 24mm made by Whiteline, so this would be an upgrade for you too. Fit is the same for SWB and Maxi.

Cheers
On the Darkside site the 24mm upgrade ones advertised don't show like yours, so guessing you weren't aware they were adjustable ?

That's right, pictures don't show it to be adjustable. Guess that was v1 and now they sell v2 :lol:

Repainted the calipers today and investigated the a few things on the to do list. Found the creak coming from the passenger front suspension damned creaking top mount. So silicone sprayed it to see if it cures it.

Then replaced the rear discs an pads and found the reason one side had worn funny was that the calipers shot so guess what's getting replaced tomorrow.

Tell you what it's so much easier using my mates lift rather that scrapping around on my.garage floor

Yay,

Refitted the roof liner (and all the pieces that had to be removed to get it down)

Had to reduce the insulation stuff to half thickness to get it all to fit.

Used some of the clips from a kit that was linked to previously from ebay.
Better than no clips (many broken or lost by the WAV converters !!!) but one type was very fragile plastic, and both types that were needed had to be held locally with tape, or they would just fall out.
Still, helped loads, and everything seems fairly close to not too bad, considering.

Those wheels look unreal. You have to look at them twice to understand that it's not just the centre 5 spoke and there is more to the alloy. Bit of an optical illusion for me.

Great work on the coloured studs. Makes it stand out more

Fitted aluminium surrounds for the air vents and heater controls. I also put some LED bulbs in the interior light so I can now see things in the cab at night.
