Ok here goes, i am doing this litte write up from my donga at site i will have to take some detailed photos when i get back to Perth in a couple weeks!!
i have a 99 GU patrol, 4.5 petrol and automatic, i have had the exact model in a manual and the pro's and con's of auto to manual really do make it impossible to choose which one i prefer!!!
Under the bonnet i run a dual battery system with a redarc solenoid (which actually died on the weekend,or some time just before that so i replaced it with another one as it lasted at least 8 years and perfectly), i also have a safari snorkel which i think has saved my engine a few times!!!
I also have a a Helton heat exchanger(hot water system) plumbed in, i have mounted it in the bull bar on the front bottom lip with the outlets on the bull bar.
i run an esolar solar panels (mk260) which is 2 h60w panels....these run both my fridges and car stereo and still have enough to charge the battery..
also have a 1000w inverter (believe it or not it is so the girlfriend can use her hair straightner)
and to keep a close eye on the amps being charged/discharge/battery state i have a BM-1CG Battery Monitor which is absolutely brilliant
i have a Delux arb bullbar with 9.5xp warn winch, great winch when installed correctly and drain holes face down(sore point with ARB),also have a wireless remote for the winch
i have 7inch HID spotties,
also have ARB side rails and steps.
i have a 2 inch ome suspension lift and running 305 70r/16 coopers stt's
had the rear diff ratio changed to allow for these tyres
i have front and rear ARB airlockers and compressor with inflation kit mounted under my drivers seat
i have a long range fuel tank (main) 147 litre
On the roof i have a full lenth roof rack(cant remember the brand name) with a simpson 2 rooftop tent that is set up on the top rails of the roof rack creating a small storage gap between the tent and the mesh floor of the rack(the tent opens over the back). have a home made ladder system that makes life so much easier when getting on the roof!!
Then i have an arb rear bumper with spare wheel carrier and gerry can holder which also holds a green machine hi-lift jack and an msa back pack on the spare wheel(very very handy these are).
i have an arb awning on the passenger side!!
Then in the car i have a black widow draw system with a slide(which is now redundant) but now has an msa drop slide on the drawers to carry my 80 litre engel fridge/freezer. i also have a 37 waeco for drinks etc, but also have the heating option in it so we can keep food hot!!
i use a 100 litre flexi tank for water which lays across the floor between front and rear seats.
i have a and outback roof console witha basic uniden 40 channel cb
I have an alpine double din dvd player with a couple of amps,sub woofer etc(not really up to speed on stereo stuff but it has a great sound and great for the ipod or occassional movie on a road trip).
also have a 7inch off road gps navigation with oziexplorer map
also carry a immarsat isat phone pro (satellite phone)....just in case!!!
And to keep all this as safe as i can i have an alarm with break glass sensor and window lifts(winds all windows up when i set the alarm).
well off the top of my head this is all i can think at the moment and if there is more i have forgotton i will edit and i will take individual pics and post them all up when i get back to perth!!!
