Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Nov 30 2011, 01:23 AM
See nuttings changed around here whilst i've been busy doing sum worky's
Fed's still a goose 
Poly still pursists in buying plastic
And that crim keeps putting up pics of the same fish all the time
Did a few mods to the navara a few months backs & wasn't exactly happy with them with the mutt never seem to have enough room on a trip so decided to kick the bastard of a mongrel out of the car.
He's just getting to big, last trip he managed to changed gears 5 times shifting gearbox into neutral not to mention his knack of dis-engaging overdrive.
Was contemplating buildind a trailer but that would've been a pain is the arse storage wise so opted to ditch the back tray for an alloy wun.
Not wun of those crappy bought wuns either which rattle, vibrate & fall apart opted for a custom jumpy special.
B4 i started on the tray thought i'd try my hand @ building a bullbar it's alloy complete with warn electric winch, control box hidden in bar colour matched it to the car just have to make the bash plates under & a few adjustments.
Tray frame 80mm x 40mm x 7mm alloy frame whilst i was @ it i cleaned up the chassis & gave it a coat of paint
All the box's are nearly done just need painting
Most aren't in pics new 70 litre long range fuel tank & a few more hidden compartments for hiding all the undersized fish
Massive new rear loading drawer had to double up on the runners
Passenger side side box is a bit shorter cause this time i remember a water tank it will follow profile

My last 4x4 I made the side steps into water containers complete with taps.

Do it Jumpy then your lifelong dream of 'walking on water' would be a reality.

I think old age is catching up with Jumpy, in the good old days he could have built a boat in the time it's taken him to build this tin box for his truck.

Got sum drugs yeasterday & was able to get around today
Took pics early in the day B4 all the back was completed
2nd fuel tank initial gave a bit of grief, finished it & i was not tinking & didn't allow for suspention travel, quick nip & tuck sorted out that prob
Shinny ting top left hand is not Fed's Head opted to make cover for fuel filling out of stainless
There's a fresh water tank rear of hanging toolbox made it out of stainless but carried the lines of the tootbox
Auxillery battery fits neat where it is
Still have to paint the rolly polly bar sat it in place to take it home, opted to utilise the old bar rather than pay $700 to get anutta wun made so had a few holes to plug up
Replaced axles on mini me whilst i was @ it
Goodarus sized drawer this time around had to use dual runners to support weight

I bloody knew it! That's the only explanation that made any sense.
Will this tank be condensation proof?

Just about done only a bit of wiring left to do
After driving around in it last week or so, thought it looked to squarish alot like Feds Head so decided to add a few curves & sides back were the way to go if i didn't like them no harm done leave them off 
Dont think these pics came out the best to much glare & a goodarus guess was Fed was lurking around the corner trying to figure out how he could 
in my new tank
Bash plates with access hatches 
Prob the only thing i wasn't happy with & looked out of place, it'll do till after new year when i'll have anutter crack @ it
