Thought I might list some of the bits and pieces that have been added to the truck over the years.

Obvious from the outside;
Nissan Bullbar with Warn Tabor winch
ARB brush bars and side steps/sliders
Set of Roolights (OK for the little night driving i do)
Kaymar rear bar with twin wheel carriers
Tradesman full length roof rack, 8 post
Awning and shovel/jack holder on the roof rack
70mm Ridepro Lift (springs and shocks)
16X8 Kings Wheels with 285X75X16 Dick Cepek FC IIs
145 l Long Range tank

Engine bay;
Turbo "tweak"
3" dump pipe and exhaust
105ah AGM Aux battery ARB tray and smart solenoid
power to rear Anderson plugs multiple Anderson plugs
ARB Compressor

Inside;
ORS drawers and fridge slide

Currently less than 90,000ks travelled.

Only thing left to do are reduction gears, not sure whether to go 43% or 85%.




I can understand why some people would think it could sell for $60k or there abouts. Gotta love a 4.2

I just bought and fitted one of these following NissPats lead.

I was looking for a multimedia unit that had a GPS and could run OziCE, be able to play CD/DVDS, be able to run a flash drive (for music), have a reverse camera input, have Bluetooth for the phone and of course have an AM FM radio.

The fitting was pretty straightforward. Remove the panel that surrounds the stereo unit by removing two screws just above the heater controls, pry the cover from the bottom corners and "pop" off. Undo the 4 screws that hold the existing unit in place, unplug leads and aerial plug from the rear of the existing unit. Remove the mounting brackets from the old unit and screw onto the new unit, only 3 of the 4 screws will fit each side. Plug in the appropriate ISO and aerial adapters, bung it all back into the dash and Bob is your uncle.

For a GU IV built in 2005 the adapters I bought from Repco were Double diverysity lead Aerpro AP 348A ($12.99) to convert the Nissan aerial lead to "normal" male aerial plug and an ISO adapter APP0120 ($14.99).

The 12v wire for ignition volts and memory volts where a about t. The ISO adapter had one plug with the power leads fitted with bullet connectors, I simply swapped the yellow and red leads at the bullet connectors and all is now well, no memory loss (stations and other settings).

I have OziCE up and running, my reverse camera attached via the Aux video in cable, and the DVD "off except with hand brake on" disabled by earthing that wire to the body of the unit.

Out with the old



In with the new



Radio display




OK, 2 years down the track and the screen on the unit has died, would work for a short while when rebooted and die again, radio would still play in the background. I have now put the original Nissan unit back in and rely on my Tablet for GPS functions. I have an old Nokia hands free Bluetooth unit I'll reinstall for the phone.

Yep the local ABC AM frequency is 666, a devilishly good local station

Nice setup mate. That's the same head unit I have in mine. I had to do the same with the memory and ignition wires. I hope you don't have any hassles with it. Mine has gone back for replacement as the clock had a mind of its own and would randomly change the time. I lived with it though for 4 months but then the Bluetooth started dropping out. So had enough and asked for a replacement, for which I am awaiting arrival. I have a feeling my unit was a random dodgey one though - fingers crossed.
