Looks like it does the job mate, well done
Looks good mate. I'm looking forward to building a tray for my ute in the near future
Much cleaner now, nice job!

Great looking truck mate
Very nice! Looks like you've always owned awesome trucks too
Don't believe the GU gearbox has provision for the PTO on the side unfortunately
Chucked a UHF in temporarily the other day. Its gonna finish up in a roof console when I get around to building it, but for now it's mounted to the gear shift surround. I secured it using existing...

The second trip I did in it was an overnighter up at Lithgow with a mate and his 80 series. Man theres some awesome tracks up around there, and it was my first chance to test the truck out a bit. It...
Brought myself a 32" light bar from Bright Light Auto Parts. Ive heard mixed reviews about these but for the price I'm willing to give them a shot. Also got 3x LED flood lights - 2x for tray lights...

This was the first trip I took it on. Went to our usual camping spot on a property between Sofala and Hill End, north of Bathurst. I was very happy with the troll, it made me realise how capable...
