Hi all

About time I showed off my pride and joy.

Bought new in June 2006 and it really has had an easy life except for about 20/30 Fraser trips and the Cape trip this year.

Over the 8 years, I have added the following not in any order--
Nissan bull bar
Nissan tow bar
Nissan supplied IPF 900 lights which I upgraded to HID's about 6 yrs ago
105 am/hr AGM dual battery under tray on passenger side
Custom steel roof and canvas sides canopy
Steel mesh security screens for canopy
140 watt solar panel permanently fixed to roof of canopy with Powertech MPPT controller
3 X 40lt water tanks independently plumbed to gravity feed hose.
70 lt Trailblazer fridge/freezer
Custom 12mm plywood cupboard/kitchen
Steel frame with plywood top for bed with storage under
3" exhaust
Boost controller
Tricked injector pump
GME UHF radio
Autron boost/EGT gauge
VMS 7" GPS navigation
Electronic rust prevention
12,000 Tigerz 11 winch with rope

Weighs in at 2750kg as above without water so have to be careful with gear and food and drinks to take away.
Hopefully some photos are attached below.

cheers

ps forgot one rather important item- the 2" lift from Dobinson with their shocks. They work so well you don't even know they are there

Couple more-- Firestone air bags in rear coils with Superior Engineering brace across top of coil towers
2.5 X 2.5 side awning

Hi TD

No between Musgrave Roadhouse and Weipa although it could be anywhere north of Laura and west to Normanton.
