Could you tell me a little more about the roof rack cross bars? Are they an OEM option down under?

Mine are aftermarket racks from, mine were cheaper as i only needed 2
Rhino Rack - Roof Racks for TOYOTA Landcruiser 100 Series 4WD 03/98 -

Also ROLA Roof Racks are a good brand.

And toyota genuine racks can be purchased from toyota (this is a 200 series but look the same for the 100 series)

Went shopping awhile ago
Found one of these

To sit on one of these

Also have the transit bag and the twozone with bag.
So now i need some where to put it :x
Out come the timber and tape to whip up one of these, a template

A few cuts later i had a pile of steel :shock:

Then got the welder out of thw cobwebs went to bunnings and got a roll of gasless wire (i hate it but it works)
About 3 hours later i have this.

Thats it for now.

[98lux]

Well it has been awhile.
A few things have changed, I must have been a good boy this year, for my b'day (that is not till July but we will be up the Cape) i got a new 12,000 pound tigerz winch with rope aaannnnddd a Turbo-Glide Turbo system

. I the pic you can also see the billet race craft diff breather block (the blue thing on the left) it takes 4 inlets, front diff, rear diff, transfer and gearbox.

New winch.

Turbo and diff breather kit.

We have a thing on the overlander forum where if you get a new camera your first pic to be posted MUST have a duck in it, soooo i posted this one

.

O and i also installed some airbags in the rear.

Awesome write-up. Very inspiring. I think you are trying to tell us that Australians have lots of free time and are paid very well.....LOL

I do have a few questions:

1. I noticed you wanted to add a Turbo. Was that a replacement (more pressure) or did your Diesel not have a Turbo from the factory?
2. Back in 2008 you mentioned you had an 80L Engel fridge already. Did it break down on you? I noticed you got another 80L Engel
3. What is the brown liquid in the pic with the cutouts for the snorkel?

Again...VERY cool build. I am sure you will more awesome stuff in the future.

1. being a 105 series (solid front axle)they only come out with a Non turbo 1HZ engine not the 1HD-FTE factory turbo engine that are in the 100 series (IFS)

2. Back in 2008 you mentioned you had an 80L Engel fridge already. Did it break down on you? I noticed you got another 80L Engel
2. At that time i was still using the ice box (like an eskey) but i wanted it lockable for when i purchased the fridge. (have not had any problems with the fridge at all)

3. What is the brown liquid in the pic with the cutouts for the snorkel?
3. It is called Tectyl 506 rust proofing material, i spray it every where, (inside doors, sills, bonnet, roof, under anything i bolt to the 4b)


Again...VERY cool build. I am sure you will more awesome stuff in the future.

Glad you like it, We are heading of to Cape York in 2 weeks can not wait
