Codan Mount MK II
Well got bored on the long weekend so i decided to re-do my codan mount.
Previously as can be seen in pics it was mounted to the spare wheel and very exposed.
Now i have used 25x25mm RHS to make a frame that using extended bots mounts to the existing bracket and also spaces the wheel out. It also has bracing for extra support.
All i have to do now is remount my work light and ill be done. It still sits low enough to fit into car-parks and such.

Hey Matt

After a couple of 'very slow speed reversing mishaps' I need a reversing camera. Like yr setup. About the TV side ....is your set up compatable with digital TV?

Any suggestions on brands and retail price estimates for a reversing camera/tv set up like yours? Also, I'm thinking about a similar set up in the pod of my ute, so I can lie in 'bed' and watch a movie. LOL

Hey Ross
Yeah my setup is using a Full HD Digital card, although you dont get 1080 displayed on the screen due to its size you still get the HD channels. Especially with this new bigger arial that ive got.

As far as cost wise it depends on if your going to install a computer or not, It can be done without though.

This is what you would need i you were doing it WITHOUT a computer

-7" TFT LCD WIDESCREEN COLOUR MONITOR WITH IR REMOTE $159.00
-STB12VHD 12V MINI HD SET TOP BOX WINTAL $95.00
-Code: [780] -- Digital TV Antenna - SMB - Fibreglass $90.00
-FLUSH MOUNT MINI WATERPROOF CAMERA FOR CARS OR TRUCKS $90.00

Im sure you could probably get some discount by looking around, gives you some indication.

Gday All,
Just finished mounting up my new Icom in the GQ. I liked what people had done with the GME and Uniden slim units and thought a Icom looked about the right size to fit in the hole without too much modification. So here goes. I warn you though about the iPhone quality photos :confused:

This radio is great so far, it has been modified slightly to make it a much more powerful unit :)

Began with pulling the Facia off the dash, Mmm I like wires :)
http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt170/nissankid_308/7c61e4a1.jpg

The hole needed to have the little notches that the ashtray catches on filed off and the metal slider removed to look a bit like this.
http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt170/nissankid_308/345ca52c.jpg

Slip the radio in
http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt170/nissankid_308/6ca0e7ec.jpg

Put your dash back together
http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt170/nissankid_308/239cabac.jpg

And fire it up :)

Hey Todd
Well i guess its just because im a mac person, I can use windows but i very at home with a mac so i just wanted to keep it that way :)

And unfortunately no, the roof console has been taken out of the troll due to a few reasons, trying to make my car a little more legal and i can just about do everything on the ipad now. But i do have future plans for it, Youll just have to wait and see :)

Well its back on the road.....

Why You ask???

Well i dropped it into a hole out the back of Narbathong a few weeks back :( And it killed the Clutch :( so that was a bit of an issue :confused:

So off she went to PatrolApart like this.......

http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt170/nissankid_308/c3d945ab.jpg

SO they bung an Exeedy Heavy Duty item in there :) should last now! I should hopefully have some photos soon of the bog hole. This photo shows the mud line on the back door...Follow it around the car and thats how deep it was haha. I ripped the interior out and cleaned it all. But much to my surprise there was no water that had seeped in! Couldn't believe it just a little mud under the carpet from holes in the floor :)

Hi Mate,

I just spent the let hour going through all your photos on this post, i am so jealous that you have the ability to do all that stuff on your own.

I am just organising my stereo setup now and was curious to know how you went about putting those subs in the rear 1/4 panels. Also have you had to put in new Radius arms in with the 3" lift?

Mate she looks good, keep up the good work

Cheers

Nah mate, Mine are Hella Ralley 4000's with Pencil beam lenses Halogen as standard but they have a 100W H1 HID pack by Matt Harris down in Bairnsdale.

To be honest mate i wouldnt bother wasting your money on ebay jobs! Like everything you get what you pay for and these for $200 a light then the kid is just too good to go past. Especialy considering the Hella preditor is well over $1000 per light!
