Very nice build in 12 months. You have done alot, loooks good, hope you get to enjoy all the you have done and was worth all the folding stuff that to be in your wallet

What brand are the internal LED camping spotlights you have in the canopy ?

Whats that thing plugged into cigarette lighter? Looks like USB port. Is that used to charge ipod/iphone? If so where did you get it from and how much? interested in getting one myself

All the LED lights I bought from 'Bias boating' its a store that sells marine/boat products. They were not cheap ill tell you now. But they are completely waterproof and are of very good quality and solidly built. But best of all they are very bright and do their job nicely.

Thats the strip led that i use to hang from my side lift up window you can see in one of the pics wired up to a cig plug.
I cant seem to find the other lights that i have mounted to the back but for memory, the two small ones facing backwards on the sides were about $90 each (5 x 0.5w Leds in each) and the big one in the middle the swivels back and forward was about $150 (6 x 1w Leds)
Hope this helps.

Yeah its an ipod charging thing. Its brand name is 'kensington' Basically that part sits in the socket and it comes with a usb to ipod cable (like the standard ipod cables) that you plug into it wen you want to use it. Ive got the a-sure head unit now and that charges my ipod so i dont use it anymore. If i can find it your welcome to have it. I think they are about 30 buks new and i bought mine from the Apple store in Sydney city.

I got scouted actually. Was at a big ARB open day thing in Pennants Hills just looking at stuff and when i came out there was a card under my windscreen asking if i wanted my car in the mag and it went from there

Rig's looking tough now Josh with the 33's.

Congrats on the Mag shoot.

bloody nice lux mate full credit to ya, this is pretty much what i am after hopefully will be getting one soon to start the buil process myself.

Just a bit of an update, installed a jaycar mkII speedo corrector the other day and i must say its unreal!! Did me the world of good getting back into the soldering side of things as well. Easy to put together and to install. Callibration was easy too and with two different gps's in my car i was able to set my speedo bang on, and i mean bang on to the correct speed. The error in the speedo was linear so i was able to correct it for the whole speed range, ie from 40k's all the way up to 130. Very good investment and for less than 60 buks worth every cent.
