Hi Guys, Just starting my build thread.
It's a new 2012 Diesel Manual Extra Cab Chassis Tray, fitted out with ARB Bull/Tow Bar, Under Vehicle Protection, 2" Old Man Emu lift and Front/Rear Diff Locks; Plus Cooper S/T Maxx tyres.
So far I've:
- put in some Narva combo lights (hardly do any night driving so hard to justify much there),
- installed my Uniden UHF radio (main set behind glove box with 'head' Velcroed below ashtray on driver's side),
- passenger side (full time) ciggy lighter socket,
- pulled out passenger seat and put in my RAM mounted OziExplorer laptop.
Picked up my camper (from Aussie Tool Boxes) for the tray today so here are some pics:
Standard looking white HiLux
Driver's view of closed laptop (less passenger seat), also UHF head in front of gear shift:
Knob under laptop, used to tighten up RAM mount, makes pretty good mounting point for garbage bag
'Non-slip' on top of laptop is for coffee, etc, when on the black stuff.
Air bag warning light shows up on dash - will need to cover with some back tape.
Now with a camper and Narva lights:
Two antenna mounts. Other one is for my scanner.
Camper opened up also shows slide out and drop down fridge tray:
Extension poles (rather than tent poles and guy ropes) make for easy overnight stops.
Inside of camper looking out towards steps:
Nice big mattress and room to change. Will also have a fold down 'dry potty'.
The other side. Blue 'thing' at back is RHS of a 100 lt water tank:
Next (real soon), will be:
- 120w solar panel with CTEK D250S Dual charger,
- reversing cam; one below tray (for reversing), another above camper wheel mount (for rear view),
- various internal shelves and partitioning for poles, crowbar, long spade, recovery gear, more jerry cans, etc.
- diff breather
- lots of other 'little' things
