Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
Did some mods for camping.
Fridge slider
More storage and panels around the fridge. Idea was create some space on top to load chairs, solar panel etc...
Barn door table
RTT and Awning
I am hoping I don't have to install load springs at the bag.

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
Hi Tinus, so far it's awesome. Engine is definitely taking it easy uphill and feels lot smoother. I hardly feel the gear changes.
In December I am going to Namibia. Will get a better feel and then provide a comprehensive analysis of this change.

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
How do you find the LED Headlamps? Do you get any interference over the radio when you turn the lights on?
