Presenting myself and my Land Cruiser (1 Viewer)

[Mec93]

Hello everyone, I'm reading here and there threads and I want to post something myself.
I'm Nicola from Italy and this is my 1994 KZJ73 VX, it has some upgrades (2" lift, 32" tyres, rear arb locking diff, hidden front 12000lb winch) and some camping gear, most built by myself (roof rack, 270° awning, drawer system, fridge tilting slide, rear door folding table, etc...)
Hope to be usefull to someone else like you guys are for myself

Yes, it's made of 3mm aluminium sheets, cutted with waterjet and folded with a pressbrake, I am a technician of thoose machines so I have the luck of using them if I need

Table looks great. How are you keeping it secured when up?

Any information on the awning and the lights that are integrated into them?

Solid looking truck!

The bracket is 4mm steel and the beams are 80x20x1mm aluminium, 2m long. The lights are 4000k 12v led strips with their aluminium profile, I buoght them at the local home depot.

In the front there is another bracket to support everything when it's closed.
The tarp is waterproof. I left extra material on the tarp so it slides under the roof top tent for better coverage. I never tested it with the rain, before that I'd like to put some support poles under the beams

The table is held in place by 2 grain screws, they have a sping inside and a ball at the end, in the sides of the table there are two little notches for the balls
