Hi there new to the forum and looking forward to sharing the collective knowledge.
Bought a 2012 cab chassis with 150K with rear diff lock and cruise control, so beside the shitty ally tray and leaking toolboxes, was a good start.
Now has a steel tray and some undertray toolboxes, 3" s/s exhaust, snorkel, larger intercooler, winch, XR buckets and a self made, roof console. EGT and boost gauges
Have also rigged up a hydraulic hand crane with an electric winch I can bolt onto the back, so I can load 1-2 motorbikes onto the back and keep them secure and free from flying stones when I head inland.
When the cranes not in use or traveling distance it pulls apart and pins up under the tray off some brackets I fabbed up.
Still a few things to sort like second battery and possibly a water tank, fix the rear brakes and some trailer wiring issues

Welcome to the forum mate.
Very interesting the crane. Do you have pictures or videos of it doing its thing?
