    Thanks everyone. I've only had this truck for a couple of months with a rapid development plan.

    Moby's full details are:

    12/2006 GU DX 4.2 TDi Ex Telstra
    80,000 Klm's when bought
    2 inch Old Man Emu suspension (Telstra)
    Obieco canopy (Telstra)

    My modifications are (so far):

    TJM steel winch bar and side steps
    16x8 Black steel King wheels and 285/75/16 Cooper STT's
    Dual batteries
    Outback roof console and Icom UHF (antenna mounted on canopy roof)
    2 x 90 litre poly water tanks (inside canopy)
    Original Telstra power distribution box still used but Merit sockets swapped out for Engel sockets - running 2 Engels (1 fridge, 1 freezer)
    Replaced canopy interior lights with LED strip lights (2)
    Twin spare wheel mounts modified to fit larger/wider rims and tyres

    Trips so far:

    1 quick trip to the Watagans just to check 4wd actually worked after buying and modifying!

    Then a 4 week, 9000 Klm round trip to Cape York and back as a shake down cruise!

    All good

    Cheers, Errol

    The photo's are great to show my wife as I'm in the process of building a custom slide on camper for my GU. The woman has no imagination!
