    So after running the removable table idea for a bit I got frustrated quickly with it. The legs kept dropping down and jamming in the tailgate gap.

    So ripped that idea out and flipped it.
    I raised the fridge slide about 80mm, and built a draw for under it to house the stove and cutlery.

    I'm glad I've done this as it's so much more usable now as a all in one system..

    I have also put in the majority of the electronics.
    I've used a 8 way switch gang setup.
    The main fuse panel is on the side of the draws, with the buttons up top.

    Best bit is its blue tooth so I can switch lights off from the tent lol.

    Also a bit of weight reduction in the last pick..

    Looks good mate, Did you cut those bottom holes to shed weight or drop a sink in? Mine is a fair bit heavier than your i reckon! LOL I am going to go hard with a 150d hole saw anywhere i can to save weight and just cover with carpet. I wont be able to shed heaps but any will be a winner. Thank god for airbags! lol

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
