Looking good, I like what you've done with the air

Looking great! What are the Arb switches? I can see compressor on the right, what I can make out is reverse lights on the left? And what's the rabbit??

Great install of the air tank mate. There's a lot of room under these tubs once you start thinking about it.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Will it be a good show ???

good job viking -I find that the mods that you want yourself, designed by yourself, installed by yourself always give you the best enjoyment, in the doing & using. I hate fish blood & guts on my hands when I head to the Coorong for the occasional fishing trip.I always smile when I hear the 12 volt pump kick in when I turn on the water tap to wash my hands, standing at the back of the ute at the beach. I bet every time you air up you've got a smile on your dial!
