Re: My new toy.
ARB compressor and internal switch fitted. The compressor fits in the only spot that I had available in the engine bay as I have a duel battery the other side the engine.

The patrol just has the perfect position to place the compressor and locker switch.

Nicely done!
Please post a pic of your dual battery setup as I would love to put a second battery in the nose!
Will you be @ "home" late Dec - early Jan ? We will be in your valley and should organise a get together - Brakkeduine etc?
Cheers

Re: My new toy.
Herbie, I am going away at the same time but maybe our times overlap and we can do Bakkeduine we can also get hold of Langman as he stays close by
I will take some photos of the duel battery system tonight and post them. I didnt fit it myself, it was in the vehicle when I bought it. I have only redone the actual display brackets to make them neater.

Re: My new toy.
Herbie, as requested some photos of the duel battery setup.
Duel battery display drivers side top view

Duel battery display drivers side right hand view, you can see it is just behind where your leg can catch it. Out the way but easy to see.

A view of the engine bay standing on the right hand side looking forward.

Standing in the front on the drivers side.

A close up from the front right.

Re: My new toy.
Hi Rocstompa,
This Patrol off yours looks awesome!!! Hope you going to enjoy it alot in the bush. For interest where did you get the dashboard protection canvas (looks like canvas?) from? I would also like to fit one like that.
Thanks
Rudolph
