    Just had the Ironman roof top tent delivered and installed for $1650. Came with an annex as well. Took two of them almost 3 hours to fit. Very happy. Original post updated.

    Great truck.

    I gave up pricing things a while ago. Buying the troll was the cheapest part of my investment. lol

    Enjoy

    Take care out there.

    Thanks, and yup, more than shreqs purchase price will be spent on mods. I'm glad my wife works

    Shreq thanks you for your kindness ...

    Well ... the day after the tent was tested it was time to repack and get Shreq ready for the coming touring season. I knew I wouldn't be happy trying to pack everything I wanted to carry with no draws. I hate the way I had to sit stuff in layers. Bugga ... I sat and had a beer or two with the supervisor and pondered ... all I need for the moment is a shelf ... tada

    Simple (3 pieces mdf, 4 angle brackets, 2 steel door hinges). Cheap $0 (everything was in the shed). Easy (one hour construction). All the recovery gear, tools, HR tongues, jacks etc. Above is my favourite chair, tent annex and other soft stuff. It's temporary but I'm already happier.

    Love the roof top twisty, I intend to invest in one myself one day.

    Also like the shelf mate, bloody damn sight cheaper option then the draws & easy to remove when needed. That cargo barrier will keep it all in the back & your lot safely up the front.


    Thanks for the pics.

    Oh Yeah ... and these

    In all my excitement about the other bling I forgot about these ... front recovery points, $120 the pair, and aussie made. So with the HR recovery hitch and these fitted there are all the quality recovery points (with bow shackles) needed for less than $200.

    Why wouldn't you? Serious or not they beat a towball. Only one problem ...

    THEY DON'T FIT!!!

    so ... tomorrow back to the shop for an explanation

    so ... I was shown where they fit and I was told to either bend the bullbar bracket or shim out the upper bolts to fit the recovery points. WTF? I'll post pics when I get over my concern and investigate further.

    edit again ... they do fit but the bullbar bracket needs a small piece cut out. My mechanic says $100 to fit. edit ... fixed and fitted, see next page.
