Touring in a 90...

We are currently doing the same to our 90.
Have put 3 aluminium drawers in the back with a 55L water tank to one side and the 50L fridge to the other side(drivers).
Dual battery is an ex Telstra standby 100AH unit that sits between the tubular strengthener behind the seats and the fridge, with the Redarc isolator in with the original battery.
ARB compressor under the drivers seat, ARB bulbar and Warn Magnum 10k winch up front, with IPF LED spots.
We also picked up a cheap 2nd hand roof rack, that we have tidied up and put mesh on, this is mainly for if we take the Oztent, but we generally take the Tvan.


Just about to receive 2 gullwing doors for the rear windows, which will make accessing the fridge and storage much easier.


We will be doing 3 weeks on the York peninsula over xmas and then 6 weeks in the Kimberlie middle of next year, so will give it a good test.


In time, we would like to complete the package with at least 1 sill fuel tank (probably a Brown Davis 55L unit to the drivers side) and a change of springs to bring the ride height back up to standard (thinking of 90 rears in the front and either airbags or 90 HD in the rear.

It's surprising how much room there is in the back of a 90 once you pull out the rear jump seats.

Yes agreed! And having now removed my rear seats, actually they are about 10cm longer than a 110 in the load area! :cool:

Check out Welcome to Reads4x4 that is from when Ali Read, who I am pretty sure is on here, did a lap in his 90 with the better half.

I mentioned this a few years back . I was in a caravan park in White Cliffs NSW When a Red 90 pulled in , I was in my red 110 county at the time . On the back door there was a sign saying " Caution Left Hand Drive " Once they got settled I went over and said Hello ! It turned out they had come from Italy . They had shipped out there 90 to do a round Oz trip . They told me that they had drove from China to Italy , and across the Sahara as well . Two people in a td5 90 . Long range fuel tank , and roof top tent . The thing is they were doing It . Living the dream !!..Jim :)

Yeah I did
One thing with my 90 is it is a soft top so I did not have the luxury of a roof for a roof rack 😀 .but the 90 does have twin fuel tanks ,along with all the other stuff , like twin Batteries , winch , snorkel blah blah

Just had a read of your blog! Great stuff!

Reading this is very motivating as well as informative!

I have been touring in mine for over a year and with two dogs as well, I have the Mantec shelf and parcel shelf. the fridge and battery goes under the shelf on the floor leaving just over a third of the floor space for extras and giving the dogs the full 2m3 shelf top
The parcel shelf was a great buy as can be taken out in a couple of minutes when not in use, we had a canvas bag made up with a zip sad canvas straps
Air comp under drivers seat and a third battery under the passenger seat

I an very happy with the set up and glad I bought the 90
