the Bushman is a great fridge, just be aware the collar and high lid adds a lot of height

I have looked at removing the back seat an installing a frame to hold the fridge and other things. You could pack heaps in that area. 8-)

You would have to get your vehicle eingineered to suit and register it as a 2 seater.

Wouldn't be hard to do if you did a professional job and installed a "gate" to prevent items flying forward in the envent of an accident.

A big thanks goes out to Speedy (crosssport) for the 80k service, Auto service, Front locker fitted and general repairs.

Drivers side bump stop.

Passenger side bump stop (torn off) after a little desert trip

I see the new diff lockers from ARB now come with a 5 year warranty compared to the previous 2 years offered

Also note that the RD 111 does NOT fit the 07 auto hilux, but it does fit a 2012 auto Hilux
