    Looks nice, I just bought a graphite one. Love it, am deciding on the bull bar as we speak. More than likely going with the TJM T3 colour coded. Don't like the ARB Sahara for 2 reasons. One Price ($700 more) and two, it covers the bottom of the parking light and doesn't contour as well as the T3.

      I thought I'd jump back on here and post an update on the latest phase of the buildup that I've just completed. Was a pretty expensive phase this one with over $9k worth of upgrades (including labour).

      Unfortunately I'm pretty time poor at the moment. When it comes to DIY pretty much the only things I have time to do myself are oil / fuel filter changes and general maintenance tasks. Installing bull bars, snorkels, drawers, etc do not fit in to my time schedule no matter how much I wish they could.

      A few weeks back my wife and I were at the Camping Show at Rosehill and I spent a few hours at the ARB stand speaking with Jimmy Porter (he's the manager out at Mannell Motors in Thornleigh). He did me a pretty decent deal on the following:

      * ARB Deluxe Bullbar (powder coat black)
      * 2 x ARB Recovery points (Front)
      * Safari Snorkel
      * GME TX3345 UHF Radio
      * Pre filter kit for fuel system
      * ARB Portable Air Compressor

      I have to say, Mannell Motors really impressed me with their attention to detail and the way they spent time with me to explain in detail what they were going to do and where they were going to put things. They even washed the truck for me once they were done which wouldn't have been an easy job since it was absolutely covered in mud after the week up north.

      The week straight after Rosehill (13th-17th April) we took the kids up to Chichester State Forest for 5 days camping in the trailer and dropped in at Drifta in Gloucester to get their Prado 150 drawer system installed in the back. We also got them to put in the cargo barrier and a drop slide for the fridge. Drifta removes the 2 seats in the back of the 150 (they're now in my shed) and they use ALL EXISTING bolt points to install the drawers and barrier so that if at some stage you wish to remove it all and fix the seats back in, you can.

      I can't recommend Drifta enough. Anyone out there that isn't familiar with drifta's offerings I highly recommend considering them for pretty much anything related to storage fit outs for your truck or trailer.

      I've posted a more detailed run down (with lots of photos) here: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAMP4Ngz9...GEfGrYtomD-glY

          El poids, the photos don't do the drawers justice! They're really well built. Slide like magic.
