Farmgate's 2014 150 GXL D4D Build

Managed to sort out the rear drawers in the back end of 2016. Played around with a bunch of ideas for the fridge and fridge slide/box/cage. In the end, I worked through it with Beechy from Drifta and did it all through them. Really happy with the result - especially as it is completely custom to the CFX50 with no wasted space, and it 95% removable to allow it to be converted to a flat boot space in 30sec. Like everyone has said on here, the Drifta experience has been excellent. There were a lot of emails back and forth trying to get the fridge box and slide perfectly dimensioned. I confess that I did have to make a small alteration to the fridge box, however that was more due to my dodgy measurements and was easy to do and re glue the carpet.

Also got the cargo (pet) barrier installed (as per the above photos) and UVP from Bushskinz (no photo of this one yet) - all bolted in easily enough.

And I finished (for now anyway) the rear wiring for the fridge, battery monitor and rear work light. I ended up reusing the rear work light size and weight with a new 2 x 10W from Korr. I might look at changing the fridge connection over to an Anderson, however I have had no issues to date so it is not a high priority.

I also did the 3D floor mats - these have been great

Installed a black bonnet protector (all the bolts rusted so they have been replaced with stainless steel)

I tried to install some headlight protectors however they did not fix reliably at all so that was a waste of $50...

Still to do:

- Diff/transmission breathers
- Exhaust
- Rock sliders (damaged a side step slightly on a drop off at Fraser last week...)
- Water bladder for between drawers and rear seats (curtain/pendulum style from Fleximake)
- Upgrade driving lights - the IPF XS900 Hal are rubbish compared to what is available out there these days

New tyres in another 5-10k also (2-4mths) - probably go the same again - ST Maxx 265/70 - will probably get 50-55k out of the first set without any incidents/punctures.

Also did a plot of fuel consumption since new. Interesting how it is continuing, even at 40k, to decrease.

Anyone know where my photos have gone and/or how to retrieve/replace them?

Maybe lost with server upgrade?
