Very well set up.
Spent all to brief a time in Sweden down near Gryt, via Valdermarsvik, a couple years back, while tracing my Grandfathers birthplace. Hope to spend a few weeks there next year.

From what I saw, its a great place to go camping. Happy trails.

Thx gen7xtracab, Haven't been to Gryt but seems like a nice place. Yes, camping is very accessible in Sweden. Off road and overland camping is i different story.

Thx Myralga

It is a purchased universal aluminium battery tray, customised it for the Hilux, strengthen and modified it for the arb-compressor. :D

I really like how clean the space is when you have a left hand drive the fact you get the battery and a twin comp in there is awesome. Really like it.
Been considering everywhere I wanna put the twin comp decided to put it under tray and relocate the air inlet to the canopy. Lots of fiddling around with this one.

What sucks about sweden is that you are aparantly not allowed to do nearly anything to your car.. bullbar nope, upgrade breaks nope, tweak the engine nope, lift.. nope.. and so on..
