There's been no interest in this project so I'll leave it at that - if anyone wants more info on what I've done just message me.

Sheeted the roof section today - photo shows half way through sticking it down. The roof was finished bar a few bits of trim and has been fitted to the top of the camper including the waterproof hinge. All went fairly smooth. Bolted the canopy to the truck, just door hinges and trim tomorrow...

Got a bit more done - The rear spare tyre bracket is made and works great. Welded up the roof frame today - which is the clamshell lid of the camper. The side doors are finished and fitted. First photo is welding the roof frame, second is it just sitting roughly in place. Another big day...

Got a bit more done. Rear of the canopy is sheeted with 3mm checker plate and welded to the frame. All welds were cleaned up with acid and run over with a lap-wheel so there's no sharp edges. The folding rear ladder was fitted and two 1.85m x 100mm inside diametre poly tubes, they hold antenna...

I love sleeping up on the roof, it keeps me away from bloody goannas that always seem to want to crawl in my swag when I’m away from camp. It also keeps...

Firstly I had to sort out a few bugs in the vehicle. I was told the winch was brand new, never been used and after having a close look at it I could see why - it didn't work. I took the cover off the control box and found only one of the three wires to the controller plug was connected - it was...

G'day all, I thought I'd post some details of my next off-road project in case someone else is interested in doing something similar. I recently sold my 1997 Land Rover 300TDi, decided to upgrade. I searched for a while for a dual cab ute, ended up getting a 2007 3lt turbo diesel auto Ford...
