Jono's MY14 GXL

I meant to ask, are the Drifta drawers removable, and if so is it easy enough to do?

Yes! You remove the two drawers and one table, then remove 4 bolts. You will be left with the false floor that the Drifta Drawers attach to. There are Tee nuts on the backside of the false floor, so in theory you could remove and reinstall as many times as you need. You will be left with a few weird looking trim areas obviously, but nothing too major. I don't ever anticipate having to remove the drawers though.

I am considering selling my Blackwolf Turbo plus (I think it's a 300?) and buying an OZtent RV5 instead.

Mate, when you added the lighforce LED's did you drill out the bullbar for the two smaller bolts?

I've only just discovered that the ARB holes "conveniently" don't line up with the Lightforce bracket AND the plug wont fit inside the cutout either!
Bugger, looks like the lead is going down behind the back of the bar and the cordless is coming out on my brand new bar already...

Hey mate, I didn't drill out anything. They bolted straight on and the cables are going down through the winch cable holes? behind it.

Ta, will be doing the same I think. Hoping the one bolt will hold 'em straight and true!

The newer ARB bars are pre-drilled with two holes to suit, well mine is a least, guessing yours is too Jono as given the yr model of your Prado.

Yeah my bar is brand new and does have the three holes for the intensity brackets - I'll just use the one main bolt at this stage and see how they go.

Sorry Jono for cluttering your buildup!

All good mate! Glad you found the info you desired, Sorry I couldn't help.

Going for a drive tomorrow. Taking the drone! There won't be a major update to the build until mid-late January. Until then I'm knocking out a few smaller mods and getting some more cooking and camping gear. I'm going to have to get rid of my rear water tank too.. Not keen as I really enjoy that thing!

Any reason for getting rid of the water tank? (Interested in selling it? PM me if you are)

I've ordered a Kaymar rear bar, and it will no longer fit.

Update!

Ordered a RedArc dual voltage meter with a Hall Effects sensor. So I had to find somewhere to mount it. Commence holesawing:



Fitted with switch, cabling getting neaten up.



Sitting in situ; with the switch.



Powered up; note that it is displaying red due to the main battery not being hooked up. I either need to find a constant voltage source or run one in.



Fuse panel mounted onto the jack compartment panel. Easy to remove and play around with when I need to.



Little bit of play time at Newnes; The Crack

That's the plan... Can't wait for the new wheels.

Any particular reason Jono?

It's just too big and heavy for me. I bought it for when I was doing camping trips to a property with a lot of friends, setting up in one place for a week. I'm just using a swag for camping now. I may eventually buy an RV5 but that will be a while.

Stand by for update photo's.

Super mega awesome update time:

Kaymar goes on:






Typical camping set up under the foxwing


iPad mounted using an Exogear mount.


Had a bit of a bad time at the beach while deploying the foxwing, had this fixed for $120 at Rhino Rack in Sydney.




Stickers repping the Facebook group and the new wheels!


Black Rhino Revolution 17x9 +12. BFG KM2 265/70/R17.




Awning lights, connected to a 12v wireless relay. Super useful for coming back to the car from the campfire, or when waking up in the middle of the night for a wizz.


All set, ready to go for the Simpson!
