Camping would be my rays outdoors kero heater. Add low odour kero and you can get your tent toasty warm.

This car is like a bad drug habit. It is taking all my money and time, my family are concerned, but new mods just feel sooooooo good.

For camping would either be the U-Bute or the Oztrail Deluxe sun Lounge.

As far as the car. A shovel mounted in the back got me out of a hairy situation.

iPod cable would have to be the most used sub $200 mod on my rig. Same one as Snowman, charges as well as music.

Tinted front windows have been great as well

Would have to be the AUX cable on the stereo, best $12 bucks ever spent although mine does not charge. $26 for mounting keys for the maxtrax, always close & secure.

Our best camping item is our hill billy cooking set up. ;)
It cost us $180 at a camping show and has paid for itself over and over.
It's the same as this. ;)

My olds commented on my LED Lenser H7 last time we went camping together as we were setting up camp late with 2 of these head lamps and everything went flawlessly. Definitely a good buy at $30 a set 8-) :evil: :lol:

For my cheapest value mod; changing the interior and door lights to LED due to the 11 and 13yo that leave doors open and lights on whilst camping.

I've had a set in for a few months now and they're still going strong. Like having two tiny spotlights, they're quite bright for their size.


Even updated the eBay link for you ;)

LED's are the new black. I've got a little project happening involving 20 super flux 4 chip LED lights under the perimeter of the Triton.

Very bright and amazing illumination for those night missions in the rocks.

I do concur ;)

I used Mattz's in the High Country and loved it bought one myself!

Had people come up and ask me where I got it from.
Excellent quality ;)
Dont buy the flimsy chinese ones at Rays. They buckle a bloke told me as he gazed lovingly at my Hill Billy set ;) :lol: :lol:
