Dcoop27 when we statrted the project we made up a loom for the accessories and further mods, so when we pulled the trims off we ran all the cables at once, the old man did most of the wiring while I bolted parts on. Sounded like a fair deal to me! So we ran power to the back for the anderson plug, brake controller, fridge power and a spare feed, we did this mainly under the internal sill floor trims, a tight squeeze but everything is inside the vehicle. From memory the brake control wire pops up with the trailer plug module with the jack.

The Vic PP guys were planning a trip down the Otways, nice and close to home so with the trip looming I thought I better upgrade from the Grandtreks, managed to get a super deal on 5 BFGoodrich AT . I was going to go 265 70 17 but they had too many 265 65 17 in stock and wanted to clear some, so thats what I ended up with. They were fitted on the Thursday arvo, ready to go away on the Saturday morning.
Ready to play!
So the 150 finally had it's Baptism in November and we had a ball and met some great PPers!
We've been on at least an outing most months since with other PPers, although have been too busy to get out for a few weeks, maybe thats why I'm getty ansy...150 with stuff bolted on!

Bendman, I've been running BFG AT for nearly 15 years on my old Hilux and even on my V6 Rodeo (just for that extra traction on building sites), always been pretty happy with them. One of the tyre joints tried to talk me out of them and go for Bridgestone, but I wouldn't listen! Sort out some suspension next and the 150 will be more than able! Mate we almost have a pidgeon pair of 150's.. Although your black Pioneer Platform will look better than mine!

Well after much surfing, reading and looking I finally made a prototype for a set of drawers today, good use of the RDO if you ask me. I was only going to design them and write a program for the CNC to cut them when the board comes in but I decided to run the program in some chipboard cover sheets to see if I'm happy with them. They went together pretty well, only a couple of little tweaks required. They are based on the Drifta style but didn't worry about the pull out bench. Since it gets used for work a bit I think it'll be more durable with a rubber top instead of carpet, much easier to get liquid nails or no more gaps off rubber. Any way I'll have to put some photos up later.150 with stuff bolted on!

Well gave the drawers a good run this weekend, have spoken to the brains trust at the Vic Tech Day and came up with a few tweaks. Added some more pin stripes Saturday at Narbethong and then had my compressor not want to fire up while trying to air back up at he end of the day. Looks like a dodgy relay or pressure switch, something else to sort out.150 with stuff bolted on!
