The car came with the Bull Bar and the 265 75 R16 and BF Goodrich Brand spanking.

   

UHF Radio was an essential addition.  I had one of these in the shed.

A new radio and 4 speakers are coming on fathers day.  Photos to follow of installation.
400 Watt Inverter.
Massive Roof Rack system courtesy of Ron the father in law.  It was in his shed.  :-)
Remote Central locking including the rear door was fitted.  $40 off ebay. I ran the wires for the new speakers while the car was pulled apart.  2 Days work.
We have a little boat that is a pain to put away.  I was told that the front mounted tow bar is the ducks almonds.  So here's my solution.  p.s. it really is just so ez to use.  I seriously don't know why they don't come as standard equipment.  I made it strong enough to use as a recovery point if required.

Front mounted Tow Bar Mount.

Mounted with the 4 original bolts either side on the recovery points.
As well as the other single bolts forward of this.  Thus 6 High Tensile bolts.
I also linked this to the Bull Bar with 2 smaller bolts and a single bolt at the rear.

Draw system started.
I already had the 2 draws from a previous car.
So time to Sort out this one.  I've used 12mm for the base and 22mm verticals.
Don't know how I will set up the rest just yet.
