My GU Patrol ute

hey guys and girls here's my ute
3" ridepro suspension with heap of other gear to go along with it.
Running 35" Micky Thomson ATZ
roof console, upgraded to electric windows for personal comfort bit of a DIY.
up front iv had a mate cut up and brace the factory commercial bar to suit a WARN high mount,

iv modded the winch added the all favorable 6Hp warn motor, fill and drain holes on the gear box, braced the drum across the back to stop twisting, new seal kits and bearings, and 50m of 12mm dynamic rope.

Front and rear ARB air lockers running off dedicated compressor, whilst i was under there i got my hands on a set of 4.3 centre's and fitted them up as well

most resent addition is Marks 4wd adapters 43% reduction gears in the transfer case another DIY project that was getting to the pointy end of my knowledge and it was a good exercise just a hard job solo....

interior iv installed a pyro and boost gauge mounted on the A pillar, Recaro expert L drivers seat for ergonomics, in cab winch controls, UHF, el cheapo ebay navigation system runs oz explorer and igo for street nav.

more stuff im sure just a quick wrap.

ill try upload some pics

sorry about the sideways pic....

thats unreal nice setup

well its been awhile since my last update i had to fix up a few posts as i had moved a few photos on photobucket and lost the link in doing so.
been a busy few months managed to get away up the centre july last year had a blast got a few pics ill throw up.

also been busy in the shed fitting up a few new toys like the front and rear air lockers that were in the shed for a good 12 months before i got around to getting them in haha.
late last year i shelled out some more coin and got a set of Marks 4wd Adapters 43% reduction gears to top off the mods so now its a ease to tackle steep decents that had the big girl off the road for 2 weeks but all is good.
now to get out and enjoy!!!

Very impressed with your camper :bigthumbup:

Thanks mate it was the best we had seen at the time we brought it and still very happy with our decision.

It is so compact and professionally finished, looks really easy to use as well.

Very, very nice. What's the go with the last 'step'? (block of wood holding it up)

it's setup ready to use in under 1 minute not joke.... i was waiting for the comment about the block of wood the pics are from when i had just picked it up and the final piece for the step had to be custom made due to the height of the patrol was different to the standard length so that just took an extra week or 2 so i had to improvise a little

Well done mate seems to satisfy your need to get bush. I like.

Have only just seen your camper set up. What a ripper! One of the best, if not THE best i've seen. Where are they made? What do they cost? What is your all up weight when heading off on a trip? Great pics too, thanks.

Nice isnt it, like the roof rack too.

did you really pay 30 grand for that setup? looks great though...

really like the gauges look good as

nice ute mate

Hey mate its a great unit they are made by tailgate campers near Benalla VIC and i paid a fair price in my eyes for the quality of the workmanship what goes into one of these and the follow up and so on. i didnt pay 30k ill say that much as i brought a display model with all the bells and whistles at a show price. fully loaded im close to 3.5t and thats with 35's and the spare on the roof enough gear to last 2-3 weeks i think the dry weight of these is somewhere around 400kg as they are all aluminium.

Great lookin ute same as mine, great pics..................looks like youv'e been waisting no time getting out and about.
