Hey whatever works...go for it!

If I understand it correctly, the Odyssey batteries are half the size. So couldn't someone simply mount two under the hood? Heck if I move some things around I might could fit three of those bad boys.

Naw, I drilled holes in the ammo containers and put some rubber washers on them as well. This will help prevent water seepage as well as reduce vibrations on the box. One houses recovery gear and spare parts, the other has the OBA system.

OKay here's a question for you guys with backup cameras. On average how often do you have to clean the camera lens? Does it get very dirty/grimy? Vision out the back of my rig is bad and isn't getting better soon so I'm looking for an inexpensive alternative. I've seen the one at Pep Boys...

Now call me crazy but I actually used bronze toilet screws. Guaranteed not to rust. Don't recall exactly WHY I used them but I did and they've held. Also if you do this double nut the arrangement. They can come loose from all the vibrations. I didn't use lock-tite but that'd probably help.

Um, nevermind on the brakes. Maybe some grit or dirt in between pads and rotors?

Instead of sheet metal screws I have two ammo cans mounted with bolts. Sturdy for sure. If you do a lot of wheeling, I think bolts might be better.

Sorry I'm late but very nice looking rigs! Man I wanna visit Oz sometime. Beautiful country for sure!

What about brake pads? Could they be due for changing?

That's slick. I didn't realize that had things like that.

Maybe not getting another rig but there are some GPS systems with topo's and trails on them.:smiley_drive:

Be aware that I've heard that they are not DOT approved.

And what if I want a GPS by someone else?

Excellent builder. I've known about him from NOR for awhile. Sucks about his Fronty though.

Very good numbers!

Very nice setup!

You do know about Murphy's Law don't you? It's uncanny how things happen that way.

So your rig didn't come with a stock rack? You had to drill the holes?

Check out luv2ski's post... http://www.nissanoffroad.net/messageboard/index.php?topic=2225.0 Might consider getting in touch with him and seeing how he did it.

Excellent catch! I have a flag in mind but didn't know where to go. Thanks for the link!
