OK guys. I'll drop my pride and ask heaps of questions that your 2 yo should be able to answer.
This is what I'd like to do.
Under the bonnet: put in an air horn. It's a 4.2 TDi, which is all I need.
Cab: Put a roof rack on the cab that will support 2 'work/search lights' on the outside and 2 spotties on the inside.
In WA, we're only allowed to have 4 spotties and 2 headlights, otherwise it's a yellow sticker.
I need a reversing camera too. Bloody bumped into something else yesterday, infront of a crowd, naturally.
The problem with the pod on the back is that it sticks out about 4 inches further than the cab - on each side.
GPS would be nice too. Not a lot of room in a ute to stick stuff. Lots of roof consoles out there too. Not sure
whether to go across ways (windscreen length)or straight up the middle between the driver/passenger seat
My UHF is velcro'd to the dash atm.
Anybody know where to put a coffee cup holder in a ute? I'm sick of spilling it. Even when I open and close
the door, occasionally I'll put my travel mug it into the door, but I continually spill it.
My pod....coz we want to sleep in it at night, it has to be insulated and ventilated. I don't want it to be one big 'dutch oven'.
Forget the mirror tiles on the roof. I'm too old and don't own a Sandman PV any more.
The back is big enough for a double bed, so I'll go to Clarke Rubber and get it measured up. I want to be able to lie in bed and watch a dvd.
On the back, I'm going to get a couple of search/work lights with 3 way switches.
When I get old enough to retire.. I'm changing my name to 'The travelling mug'. lol
I've made some statement and asked for some advice. Any help whatsoever, I'd appreciate.
Preferred makes/models would be nice.
Seriously guys, I really lack knowledge, but at the same time, I don't expect you to do all
the work. I'm not lazy, but I lack confidence in my own ability to do 'manual stuff'
