It's been a while since I've update this build, and I guess a while since I've made any changes to the Ute.
Since my initial post I've added the snorkel, IPF lights, and a set of Baysies bash plates.
.... and I've just a very busy weekend building drawers with dad.
I originally planned on taking the rear seats out and building a set of drawers, with fridge in the back. However the logistics of it was going to be harder then I first thought.
Luckily I scooped up a great deal, that was posted in the eBay thread, and managed to get a Mitsubishi canopy, brand new, white, and still in the box and for only $830! So instead of tearing my hair out trying to figure out the back seat idea, i went with drawers for the tray instead.
they say a picture tells a thousand words...
The base is attached by four screws that were already in the tray, we just got longer ones..
just have to tidy up some of the edges, but other then that it's all ready to be put to use.
I was able to get all the supplies from the local bunnings, which reached about $250.
very happy with the outcome.
I had my ARB deluxe bar, colour coded to match the flares arrive on Friday, but unfortunately ran out of time on the weekend, and I have to shoot off to Darwin tomorrow for work for two weeks so that's put on hold until i get back.
