There you go! Hope that worked! Excuse all the shit, was in packing from a fishing hunting trip! Drawers perfect size for a gun/ fishing rods, and still leave enough space I can get 111l waeco esky in the rear or sleep in there if I ever have to!

And I tell you what, they breed the bugs bigger out there! Completely warped my number plates! Ha!
Gotta love standard issued plates that come out hilarious!

( 1CP1GS ) I see pigs haha

Where and what do you mainly hunt?
Personally I don't hunt but I've seen a lot of deer around over the last 12 months while I've been driving the roads or tracks in the high country and thought that a little unusual.

Some of those new number plates are funny. They've even had to recall some because they were rude and obviously rude. :lol:

Yeah just around high country and some state Forrest's closer to home!
They have absolutely boomed In the last couple of years and are starting to become a pest breaking farmers fences and running onto roads closer to suburbia!

Hahaha, I couldn't believe it! I was like if only I was a pig hunter! And then thought oh hell! I better not get pulled up from the police thinking they're custom

Thanks for the kind words mate! Haha definitely not, my apprenticeship is terrible. Underpaid, no over time pay, just trying to work my ass off whilst I can! Never know with job security these days. Work as hard whilst I can. Keep my weekends free, and burn all my money on the triton and misses haha

That's a serious set of head gear those bulls had! Bloody hell! If I'm ever up your way we will have to set up a hunt! Incredible!

That river crossing photo is sweet! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I've got to start taking more photos!
Looks like you can set up a mean camp out of it as well!

The river crossing was a sweet spot and way off the beaten track, just as well no break downs out there as would need a chopper to get in to get us. :lol:
The bulls heads left a few grooves in the back of the bull bar, sort of like a memory thing. I should also take far more photos as never take enough. I should have taken one when I was bogged to the tray in a soft creek, but was too worried about getting out and the winch and two long snatch straps made it far enough to get to a decent tree. :D
Those camp stretchers are the go, comfy as and just roll out our swags on them. For $100 each for jumbo they are great.
Always have some tucker and frypan and KFS etc in the drawer in back, drinks and etc in the Engle. Camp usually takes us five minutes to set up and about ten to roll swags and fold up stretcher and be ready to go. We got pretty good at it doing it every night on the drive up to NT and then back down and across and up the Cape etc. :D

That is unreal! I had that feeling when a situation like that happens! Shot a deer, walked back to get the triton, followed up the track, bam massive massive vertical cliff and no room to turn around! Only up! Attempted it full power all the way up! Triton killed it but was absolutely terrifying!
Yea I just have a swag! Need to get those stretches! I just open up the canope and use the tailgate with the flat sheet metal on it as a kitchen top! Place the cooker on it, set a few angled tarps up and that's camp! Usually I go off on a pack hunt!! Where I hunt it's a lot more forrest and thick gully's! How good is it though that you can do so much with these cars! Amazing!


Hahaha scumbag! That's it! All about some seriously cool shit!

These are the ones from mars, actually quite good!
I need to go get some new bulbs as I still have the yellow ones in and can't compare too much as I found my other ones far superior!
Though in saying that the projector works well! Cuts off and leaves a nice visible line, good peripheral flood, decent distance!
Adjustability is ok, can go up and down haven't figured out if you can go left and right yet, doesn't appear so!

But other than that I say go for it! Not even a noticeable difference! And they look so much better

So it's been a while, but I have finally added a few more bits and pieces!
Convinced myself to get an awning for the winter hunting trips and summer fishing trips, fitted it up and cracked a cold one under it and instantly knew I made a good decision, up next I had a bit of bad luck but decided to make it good luck, snapped my only key in half... Shaft straight out of the plastic! Now I know the saying " if you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough " is pure gold, but unfortunately it only worked half the time leaving me with an engaged immobiliser and a car that won't start.. So I had it towed home, got it started one last time and took it straight to wantirna mitsubishi! There they rebuilt my broken key for free.. Cut and programmed me a new one the same day, and then I couldn't help myself but have them add a chrome catch can and plumb it all up! Looks great, fantastic job! Really happy with the end result and they looked after me well! Well worth the money!
