Reading the various Land Rover forums I see that there are more threads about break-ins to overlander vehicles. So I've taken a few measures towards making my hybrid more secure. First I install an immobilizer so that it can only be started with a key in the ignition.

Next I made a set of window guards for the sliding rear windows and to the rear door. I'm finishing up on the 2 guards for the small windows on both sides of the rear door.

After what seems to be a long list of things to do to the hybrid I think that I'm nearing the start line in better shape, til that is a few weeks ago when the turbo began making angry noises. Thinking that I solved the problem with a leaking pressure hose, the sounds only got worst. In the end I ordered a new turbo cartridge which I replaced last week. 

The cartridge in the foreground, the bearings are worn to the point where the middle shaft was vibrating around so much that it began destroying the fins on the exhaust side of the cartridge. 

With the turbo rebuilt, the hybrid is running much better. 

Knowing that the hybrid is going to have a lot of weight in the rear with the roof top tent and the camping gear I made a mount for my Hi Lift jack so that it is as forward as possible on the front bumper. This is not a position that I intend to use all the time especially when offroading but rather just for long camping trips so that I can "try" to get to grips with better weight distribution. Also when we hit the road, the spare tire will be move from the rear door to the bonnet.
