Spied this in my travels this morning , going to make a top touring setup.
As well as the scrub bars it has pipework going up the "A" pillar to the roof cage,
Motor wise it has a 3ltr CRD which will be replaced with a TD4.2.
I love full size dualcabs as they are more practical than a pod, but that's me.
Only the good gear has been used, note Raslarr snorkel
This is one of the better set ups I've seen in a while

Yeah gotta love the dual cabs being so versatile. I could utilize/organize the area behind the pod a little better though!

I've made a similar pod/roof rack setup for my ute that can be removed by way of jacks so I can have the tray for other uses.

I thought it would have two spares across the back, but not to be.
I have to go there again tomorrow so Ill find out what he intends to use it for.
the rear seems to have a platform for standing so maybe photography/shooting.
It is very clean, with a tigged CRD IC that will be replaced with a 4.2TD

I wasnt aware you could put a td into a patrol that is a crd due to emission laws.

I'll check tomorrow for you when I'm down there.
Its too good a Patrol to go outside the guide lines IMO
