First time we will ever have travelled with other people. All experienced 4wd'ers & desert travellers & one an accomplished aircraft/vehicle/bush mechanic. One a Remote Area Nurse' - Good company for such a trip. Big shed in Kununurra with full workshop facilities to fully prepare the vehicles when we meet up a month or so before the trip.
We have another couple of friends, both with expedition trucks who will be our 'guinea pigs, checking out that K to B track later this year.
That sounds great Cuppa.
When we went to Garik Gunag Barlu NP in 2021, we were going to head up to Kalumburu, past Drysdale River Station, on the way home (a bloody long way home) but the humidity was fierce, 80% with 38-41 for about a week, so we chickened out turned south.
We'll get there one day, maybe we'll do the CSR south to north and then up to Kalumburu???
Here's a little thing. Shortest day on the CSR for us was 25 minutes. There was a bunch of folks camped at Durba Springs so we stayed out of there. Came back the next day and no one at all, we had the entire place to ourselves, after a tiring 25 minute drive. LOL.

Patrol didn't catch fire, breakdown or end up on the back of a tow truck today
Then again I didn't start it or attempt to drive it anywhere.

Had a quick catch up with Plasnart this arvo. Talked a bit about the Swan Lake sand dunes and camping area among other things. Gotta get you lot down here for a weekend.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Freakin nice mate. I made my own too for my Y61 and wouldn’t have been without them. People either love or hate drawer systems. Personally I absolutely love the ease of accessibility to everything carried they create, and well worth the weight tax. Would never (personal preference only) go back to stacked plastic boxes to unpack and pack every time you need something. Yours look ace mate!
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

I really like what you ahve done there, really good configuration, obviously a bit of thought put into it, and good quality build, happy for you. Unfortunately I cannot steal any of the format as my tray/pod is too high.
