Maybe a good mod would be to insatll a stainless tank in the engine bay and run some 1/8 copper flex pip around the exhaust to heat water. Have a small pipe running into the cbin and a tap so you can make a cuppa on the run? If you worked out pressure ratings and had a release valve you could even adapt a coffee group head to make a good cup of joe.
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Brilliant ideas gents....lol
You could run another Alternator via the Tail shaft, something like that
Its turning so IMO has a lot of potential
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
@ Sonof,,,,, Ben Dark did similar using radiator water through a copper coil inside a pot,
Drove the Nullabor and his Stew was a throw away, didn't even get warm.
Silver foil and rest them on the exhaust manifolds works Okish

You own a GQ...... 'nuff said!
Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .
WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.
Well I had a better look at it....Crap idea...lol.....Height won't fit, will stick out more than 100mm, will restrict leg room on passenger too much.
Yes Winnie, I need to build the box around the fridge, I just can't be bothered...lol
Especially with the baby 2 on the way and the Simpson trip will throw all my plans out the window with 2 x child seats needed.
It would have to be fully sealed and a water cooled or it wouldn't last long if it was just standard. But good idea, wonder how it would go in reverse ?
Well this thread wasted 5 minutes of my time....lol

It was fun though...lol
Don't worry Doggy, I am sure another idea is just around the corner!!!

Good to see you still around, did you end up selling your Patrol???
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
