Re: two + Four's 2008 GXL

Not really part of the rig, but part of the camping gear. We camp often and had considered a camping trailer but it the end opted for a couple of 30 second tents for the flexibility (on the garden trailer or the roof depending on our plans). Anyway when camping with the trailer we like a little luxury and tend to set up a pretty full on campsite. Over Christmas we picked up an old double stainless steel sink so come Easter rather than going away when every one else does Pam and I knocked up camping kitchen (nicknamed the coffin)

Closed on a bunnings table with shortened legs and plumbed holes



Opened with the contents on display



Plumbing connected



Plumbing disconnected and on display



Cheers Neil

Re: two + Four's 2008 GXL

Ok a couple more mods done

Added a TPO9X1 from digi-options



I have set it up so if it plays a DVD it can be displayed on the kids units in the back. Also using the Aux i/p if the kids play something it can be watch on the TP head unit.

Running iGO and Ozi explorer CE on it.

Also added a number plate replacement light rear view camera



And finally a LCD dual battery monitor that looks like an analogue meter

Hey Neil,

Shame I missed out on doing the install with you. I will have to organise another time to do mine when you are free. Looks like your running out of things to add to the Prado (if there ever was such a problem)

run out never....

Next will be the tyres, hopefully sooner rather than later.
I will need some sort of spacer for the spare (tempted by the Kaymar offering because I want a work light)
Then I will extend the breathers (already have the kit)
Need to run an earth cable for the Fridge power point rather than use the chassis
Need to run a power point for the kids DVD player so there is one less lead in the front
Anderson plugs
sliders

then there is the long term stuff...

John I will PM you with a time I think I am busy the next two weekends

Cheers Neil

thanks ryan

Re: two + Four's 2008 GXL

Hi Ryan,

no holes in the back door. Originally I ran one wire for the switch and the lamp, but I blew the fuse a couple of times so I added a second wire and a relay.

Basically the two wires are wrapped with self amalgamating tape at various parts along their length and tucked under the window. They then go into some conduit to protect them from the hinge and down to the goose neck.

Wires: Lamp mount to Window



Wires: tucked under window



Conduit

Re: two + Four's 2008 GXL

Seeing this rig on Friday after Niel picked up the cargo cage, gave me some new inspiration of what mine can become ahhaha... Tax time has been put aside for a lift kit and dual battery install if things go well. WooHoot!

I love the way you have drilled out the bolt to feed your power cable through for your worklight.
