Hi Jules, dankie vir jou welkom woorde. Thx to you John as well.
Dankie Gerrit, hoop om jou te ontmoet.
Len re. the drawer sorry they 200mm high and about a meter long or deep.
I make all my equipment self. Get all my tips from forums around the world.
Also fitted an EGT gauge in my 3.0 d , by going to instrumentation guys in Dbn and sourced the gauge and thermo couple.
I can only insist you guys by giving advise on making stuff out of wood ect , and keeping a vehicle in good shape

Hi Koos,

Welcome to the forum. I'd love to see photos of your mods. Where did you source your headlight covers?

Check out this nice mod utilizing the space between the body and the rear side panels:

http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30701

Should work quite nicely in the GU since it has a wider body/wheel arches.
