heyhey Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thought my Wagon needed a thread! haha Here it is Its a 2000 ZD30 GU, I thought it was a good buy had done 210,000km but had a rebuilt engine 20,000km before so heaps cheaper than buying one with a few less kms but having to rebuild in a few more kms. Anyway, it came pretty much standard apart from electric trailer brakes, UHF and a hyclone. <=Awesome ... not! Then added: 33" BFGoodrich KM2s Procomp Alloy Wheels Steel Genuine Bullbar Pioneer Stereo, Speakers, Amp and MTX Subwoofer HID Lightforce Suspension stuff flexy 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyhey Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 But didn't like the fridge slide so that got scrapped and stuck to the basics And added a bed, its big enough to fit our double self inflating mattress on with room. Its strong enough to hold the woman and me (not that we are big). The top folds in the middle with a piano hinge and just sits on top of the draws when not in use.

heyhey Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Started on my second glove box, still got a bit to do. I can't work out a nice looking way of putting a latch on or some way of holding the door closed. I put a glovebox light in because Mr Nissan doesn't think of the small things. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyhey Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Then added the following - Volt, Boost & Pyro gauges - Dawes and Needle valves - Optima Aux and Century Starting batteries - ARB Compressor mounted under the passenger seat - ProComp alloys - DIY Sliders - DIY Rear bar - CAT Mudflaps - Tigerz11 12,000lb winch with rope with the control box mounted behind the grill but in front of the radiator support panel. Looks stealth! - HiLift Jack - Telescopic rear work light - Full length drawer and storage system, made heavy duty as the old stuff didn't last. Made of 20mmx20mm box with 15mm ply and 227kg runners. Much stronger, will be semi-impossible to break it now! - Carling (ARB style) switches for rear work light, compressor and manual override of the battery isolator. - Mounted a fire extinguisher in the rear - Fishing rod holder - Also added a Snorkel while I was at it - And replaced a heap of worn parts! Here are some pics! The drawers are not finished, still have to line the whole thing with carpet to get rid of the thudding sound that come with having wood instead of seats and carpet. The lid folds up so i can put the fridge in the drawer, the missus is a short ass and can't reach it on top and we sleep in the back so that is why I have done it this way. The only problem is now i have to put the fridge on the front seat while we are sleeping, which isn't a real biggy, still quicker and easier than setting up and pulling down a tent. There is now plenty of storage space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big gu Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Nice looking ride seems to have all the fruit too any other plans for it now or is this completed stage ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyhey Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 At this stage, she is beyond complete, being dismantled and reassembled to close to standard plus some extras. I have a GU Ute so transfering most things across. I'll be starting a thread on that build shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big gu Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ah ok then saw you were looking at brake upgrades too on the other place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyhey Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Wheels can come off, I won't be using them as I'm looking for GUIV or later alloys (maybe or alloy beadlocks??(money(i'm just not sure(damn)))), but currently only have 4 as when I had one break off (yes don't ask, my bad) it was damaged pretty bad.

heyhey Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ah ok then saw you were looking at brake upgrades too on the other place Yeah, looking for the ute. I hate Patrol brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big gu Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 That kit is not a perfect fit for gu patrols the first kit and prototype is on my old mans car te top of the caliper needs to come in on the drivers side I can give you all the parts numbers so you can source the parts locally if you wanted to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyhey Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah that would be great. So, why does the caliper need to move on the drivers side? I don't quite understand what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
