That's what I thought, but with the car seats in the back of mine, I wasn't going to take them out to check!
I think it's only a 55amp/hr optima but I'll only be running a fridge off it so it might not be to bad. Not sure what to do. @navmatt i might have to check out your second battery set up.
So it looks like pick will be the end of the month, need to wait that long for the canopy. Didn't want to pick it up without all the accessories fitted.
Hey @Chooky better come on down to the Flinders next year, remember you still owe me a bolltle 
And the old bloke will be there with his BT and the new Journey

Well here it is before it goes to get its ARB makeover. It's gunna be a long 3 weeks wait until we get to pick it up.
3 agonising weeks no doubt, thankfully I was able to upgrade mine myself, I couldn't handle 3 weeks, 2 days was bad enough.
Yeh I could've done it myself as well @Drover im a mechanic by trade so normally do stuff myself, but I thought stuff it I'll get someone else to do it this time. Will be nice to just drive in with the old and out with the new. There will be a couple of things I'll still do myself but most of it will be done.

I know what you mean @Chooky , being retired it has taken me over 2 weeks to have the Colorado fully set up, well until funds resupply, but if I was still working it would take ages and the lights would have been on in the shed to late at night and to just say I want this, do it would be nice. If I had the patience.
Well they will do the basics but the special mods and finishing touches will be in the future.......................my biggest pain is I can't find a workshop manual for mine.

I had an epiphany
go to the local library, borrow the book & scan it

Well the old Patrol was traded today and the BT picked and to say I'm impressed with the BT is a understatement. The 400km drive back home was bliss compared to the Patrol.

Well done @Chooky, congratulations and welcome to the club. I like the colour as well.
