well, both tanks are in, I can now carry 190L in tanks.
132L main
58L aux

win win. install was not straight forward. bolts didnt line up. pipes didnt clear.. it was not the best thing to do on a sunday. when you need the rig monday. lol

Main tank in:


Had to cut for clearance:


Issues with filler neck, had to weld on a pipe at 90 degrees to the tank.



The filler setup, I still have to edit the cover so its all hidden and the road spray doesnt destroy the hoses.

Continued inspiration, mate. You should be able to roll 1,600km now without stopping, right?

Love the long road mods. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

yes 1600km. except in the sand. haha. m goal is basically a reliable 1000km in the sand with a slight safety margin.

Drawer are in and finished... finally. my god that was a drawn out process.. in between finishing them I had time to do an engine swap!!! haha

I am happy with them. could be a little smoother around the edges.

enjoy:






tested them out, haha. no sag, worked great!!!

She won't fit in the drawer, Matthew...

Pretty Snazzy! Now I want to build one.

New parts day!!! yay!!!

I recieved a Redac 1220 dc charger to keep my deep cycle battery running at top performance.


6m of wire to go along:


And because for once I would like to know what is in the tank I bought a new fuel sending unit and gauge.

"Made in Australia."

TOP SCORE, MATE. Looks like good times.

Happy ANZAC Day, too!

Nothin but the best. haha. I can trust it at least to survive corrugations. my last cheapie isolator broke. get what ya pay for I guess..

Got a bit more work done, Middle storage section. Part way there. still need to finish cutting plywood.

I have ordered a set of pull rings and locks for the doors to finish the storage up next weekend.

In for paint:


Looking back from the front:
Its tight, the seats can still bounch. without rubbing.


The front section still needs to be bolted down to sit level.

Well... I guess its time for a big update since I have been off the radar for 2 weeks haha.

Moving onto the storage unit now... this took a while to build but houses all my electrical keeping them off the floor, up high and away from under the dash.
keeping most of the factory wiring untouched.
