Fathom Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Here is a pic of the rear water tank and shelf, as well as one taken just after I fitted my new winch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmate Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 So do you have that shelf in the back all the time now mate or just the big trips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottheshits Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Really nice setup mate. Can you post some pics of your camping light. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fathom Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yeah I pretty much leave the shelf in all the time now that we are kidless.. Its easier for the dogs to get in and out of and gives them more room in the back. Also... I am too lazy to keep swapping the seats/shelf over all the time... A picture will not really do any justice of the rear camping/reverse light... It just looks from the outside like a factory rear light, I just incorporated into them some HID bulbs on a 3 way switch that I can operate from the cab. (on/Off/On when in reverse) So I can use them as camp lights or floodlights when trying to reverse in the bush. I did it cause I didnt want the pole that sits off the tyre carrier. Otherwise I have just put LED lights in all the internal light sockets, and a LED light to hang over the fridge when camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gissmo Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 They should fit with a slight modification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmate Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 We got ours to fit mate. That part of the series 1 and series 2 Oldre' rear bars are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fathom Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I am sure they will, it's just how they are attached that will need to change.. Some short bolts that I can get large washers onto should remedy it Sent by tap tap tapatalk one thumb typing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmate Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I just used self drilling metal screws mate. Pre drill it first with a smaller drill bit if you need too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fathom Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I just used self drilling metal screws mate. Pre drill it first with a smaller drill bit if you need too. Or, I was thinking, I could just use some self tapping metal screws, and pre drill with a smaller drill bit if I need to? That might work. Its not plagiarism if you modify a few words in the statement.. honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
