Inside it ’ s got new speakers and head unit , nothing to blow my ears off but it ’ s better than standard . A pillar pod houses a boost and exhaust gas temperature gauge , a turbo timer was on the vehicle when I bought it . The UHF is one of those fancy hidden ones with the controls on the hand piece . There ’ s a HEMA HN5i for off and on road mapping , and I built a second glove box where the passenger airbag usually goes ( they never installed them on this model ). I ’ ve built my own false floor to help keep things organised , and mount my ancient fridge on a slide back there too . A Holden Commodore cargo barrier somehow kinda fits in there and stops the whole lot falling onto the passengers heads .
That ’ s about all the exciting stuff , don ’ t wanna ramble on forever ! If you could redo your build would you do it the same or change anything ?
There are heaps of things I would do different if I built this again . I probably wouldn ’ t have a full steel rear bar , and if I did I ’ d spend more money and get a good one . I would set the battery system up with a good DC-DC charger , build the false floor a little higher , swap the tow bar for a Reece hitch and probably change the way I have my roof set up .
What is your favorite recovery story involving your vehicle so far ?
This vehicle hasn ’ t been in too many tricky recovery situations , except the one time I came close to rolling it on a steep hill climb . None of us had a winch and nobody could get in front of me with a snatch strap . We ended up running a sling around a tree , joining a few snatch straps ; and doubling back to the vehicle behind . As I reversed down the hill , the vehicle at the back had to come up to feed more strap through . It was dodgy , but it worked ! Yep , I need a winch …
