Added 2.5m Kings awning on a unistrut

Bolted box down so no more straps

11l fridge/freezer with 44Ah aux battery

Get this .... Toyota only sells the driver side front weather shield

Lucky you can buy a full set online ...... Toyota 1 = $99 full set = $89

Added a box for all the recovery gear

Added a 160W solar panel

Space between box and headboard is for water and fuel cans

Added a AutoVox rear and front camera that clips onto existing mirror

Added a canvas canopy

Santa supplied the mats

A bunnings 90* angle makes a good table bracket

A fan from Jaycar helps with circulation when parked in the heat

Added a temperature controlled switch to control when the fan goes on and off

Replaced the std 4 inch speaker with a new 3 way Sony. Just needed to trim off 2 mounting sides and it fits like a glove.

Bought APS32 OEM speaker leads so no need to cut any wires.

Project move weight to in front of rear wheels :

  • First move both spare wheels to the headboard
  • Second step was to mount the aux battery in the engine bay and the air compressor behind the rear seat
  • Third and last step place gull wing box back with a space for jerry cans between the box and the spare wheels.
