Awesome work! A couple of questions, what are those stacking bins and do you have plans for a backup camera (assuming the base truck doesn't already have one.)

Thanks and please keep updating this!

Alright, that is pretty damn cool.

This will be a lot of fun watching a project come together, down under style. The majority of our builds on ExPo take the same shape, using similar ideas and equipment. It’ll be a breath of fresh air to follow along with the concepts and methods of an Australian builder. Subscribed…

WOW!! That's a sweet looking setup! Drooling uncontrollably!! Please keep posting the pix. I'm really looking forward to seeing the end product...but then again...are we ever really done with our mod's?

Fantastic!

Please continue to document the buildup as it progresses. I can see that you have a well laid plan regarding how you will store all your gear and I'm looking forward to seeing what goes where.

I think tray top campers are the way to make an expo rig truly multi functional. It would be so nice to back into a storage space on Sunday night and lift the camper off and have a clean deck on Monday morning that you aren't afraid to park on the street and have your gear pilfered. I have a plan to make my 70 series Land Cruiser pickup my DD/weekend warrior.

Just....SUPER!!!!!!
I like the rear corners!!!!

 

[adrenaline503]

Oh man, if I could build one one of those I would keep my truck. Nice job!

 

[NM-Frontier]

That looks great! I really like the integration of every thing, looks very well thought out and ascetically pleasing to boot. Those are great pictures as well, keep up the good work.

 

[bigdog]

looks like a cool idea. How heavy will that be when done?

 

[drew4130]

Thanks all...not sure how heavy yet but I can still move it around easily enough by myself on top of tray like when I spun it side ways to put front panel on.

Cheers Drew

Those stacking bins are for storing whatever at the moment, tinned food one, fuses clamps belts hoses tapes another!? whatever stores away nicely I suppose...backup camera will be fitted too!

Cheers Drew

Great work Drew. Coming along really well. :smiley_drive:
Its a Patrol so it can only be a good thing. :victory:
My only concerns would be that it only carries one spare tyre and it looks like it needs a false floor (sheetmetal or plywood) to keep the dust out.
