The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Cant be as painful as my old boxer who ate 2 loaves of bread and a box of Crispy crème donuts one afternoon in under an hour when we left the house, pinched them off the kitchen bench. We got home to find him lounged on his back in his big old chair with a gut the size of a 8 month pregnant woman - he wasn't happy, and neither was my daughter as it was a full dozen donuts she had bought for a party that night, bloody dogs eh!
Bhahahahahaha. I remember our forum Knockwood trip years ago. @AB had been bragging all day about this huge high quality Eye Fillet he had that he was going to cook that night . All sitring around the fire and he pulls it out and parades this massive slab of meat
Envy everywhere right.....
Idiot put it down on his seat to sort out the fry pan and Jonno's dog pinched it in a blink! GORRNNN. So Farking Funny!!! To this day we have a laugh about it.
AB was shattered. I'm.pissing myself writing this. Lol.

Compressor and locker panel down below back in, UHF wired up and hidden under the dash with removable handset idea as per Mudski’s great idea IIRC.
Sockets on each side rear door iPady ready for Littlens longer hauling runs as per MudrunnerTD’s great idea!
A rushed 50A but now fused 40A Jaycar Anderson prepackaged now conjoined system to the rear for secondary fridge/26L Engel freezer for Mrs MB’s premade cryovac slimline dinner goodies.
Repurposed my first ever old GU utes ‘Great White’ faithful lights for some night tracks to illuminate the edges a little better.

I piggy-backed a 10w flood light from the reverse light wiring. Pretty impressed with myself.

So i have been doing a few things to the GU the last couple of weeks. Getting ready for a family trip next week.
I got a full sized perspex cargo barrier years ago for the GU and never fitted it l. In have but it down the suit the drawers and stripped and repainted it.
Finally some protection for the family. Stoked with the Perspex.
I also bought a big inverter years ago and have never used it. Well this trip I want to charge Makita 18v batteries and drone batteries so a 3rd battery will be handy.
Refitted the water tank for the back door too and it has all gone in well.
Today I wired in a sub board and breaker fuse blocks for the 3elrd battery and me the inverter. 2 x q00 amp breakers and a fused block
And just because there is never enough I added a couple of semi permanent twin 2.4amp usbs extra for the kids. More devices means more slots. These will work great.
