Thank you guys, as I said it cost lots of hours to build it this way and that's only the hours spent on the carI believe I spent as many hours on the forum collecting ideas, suggestions and recommendations as well.

So, a very big "thank you" goes also to all the forum members

Cheers Max

Hey mate, what sort of radio is that I can make out maybe a gme tx3300? and how did you make the microphone un plug? does it come with that option? thanks

 

[mgermasi]

The radio is a GME TX3340
The microphone should plug into the main radio unit via a RJ45 plug, so I just made a cable from main radio unit to a panel mounted RJ45 plug.
When i drive around town I just unplugged it.

Cheers
Max

Ok I spent some more money and time on the car this week but I'm pleased with the results so far:
Firstly I replaced the custom rockers with the amber ones - when I bought them they were available only in blue but the reflex on the driver window was quite annoying.

 

[mgermasi]

Then I installed more switches accessories...
I finally had installed an E-Locker
And I can turn on the compressor from inside the cabin so that the air tank will be full by time we have to air up the tyres.
And to keep the missus happy I installed a map light.
These are the switches

 

[mgermasi]

This is the map light and how it stows away

 

[mgermasi]

During the week I engraved (mate has a cnc) a plate for the accessories switches in tub, today I fitted in

 

[mgermasi]

I also installed a EGR mod a Plazman hot pipe and a catch can -well I only installed the hot pipe the other mods were installed by 4B fabrication including the e-locker.

 

[mgermasi]

Well since I'm the engine bay I show you my dual battery charger....
Also when I installed the first mods I run through the fire wall a trailer cable so that in the future, like now, I don't have to run wires through it again but just use one of them as required.
The blue hose comes from the air tank and goes to the bullbar (as shown previously in this thread)

 

[mgermasi]

I just closed the bonnet and there it is:
The Blackvue camera I'll be posting some videos of my trips soon on youtube

 

[mgermasi]

and to complete the tourer the dropslide:
It cost a lot it's very heavy but I like it and as you can see I can use it for my work tools as well.
The cabling was a real pain though....
