Good to see you finally got to pick it up @Darren Bundy. I bet the wait has been worth it ... Nick was great with the sale and handover with ours as well. Had a look through yours at the show and like the interior colour selections and the stereo addition (Now a mod for ours).

Enjoy your trip and don't forget to post pics and trip reports.

Getting our annex walls fitted next week and off on our shakedown trip next weekend on a three day weekend stay at Willowbrook Farm in Gingin next weekend to try ours out.

Cheers,
David

How good does that set up look!!!! Awesome. looks like the bum of the Prado is sitting down a little though. Do you think it needs airbags or a WDH?

Seen you pulling into Caravanland on Friday arvo to pick up your van. Noticed the white Prado with the Bundy plates, didn't make the conection till you post the picture of your car with the van in tow. Looks good, like the new colours.
Cheers

Hi @Darren Bundy ,

Just curious on the gas bottle there... how did you support the weight of the bottle with the toolbox attachment?

Thanks

BJ
Hi BJ,
Had some 2.5mm checker rolled to suit bottle diameter. A base cut to suit with drain holes and welded to box ends.
The guy that did the ally welding assures me that this was more than strong enough to support this.
I will keep an eye on welds for cracks/fatigue during the trip and let you know if I have any issues.

I like it...... I already have the materials to make a swing down spare holder but might wait until I but the box on the a-frame and weigh the ball weight with the wheel hanging off the bar and with it tied up underneath before I make a decision as to which way to go.

Once again looks great :)
