110 Dual Cab looks badass!
I couldn't justify it to myself!

Heh thanks... and yes I reckon it does too. Not to everyone's taste, granted:
- Basically I have all the gear in individual plastic crates with lids that make them fairly dust/water resistent: cook crate, food crate, camping gear etc....
- recovery gear and first aid kits, trauma packs, and bugout bag in the cabin behind the rear seat.
- tarp it up as needed for travelling

At camp I toss all the crates out of the tub. Throw the tarp across the vehicle and extend out to the back or side. Have some short posts with rubber stoppers on the end as tent posts to raise the tarp up enough to sleep in the tub (with tailgate down) and use the tailgate as a kitchen bench under cover if its raining. Properly rigged can also get into the cab of the vehicle via rear passenger doors under tarp cover when raining.

Have a peek here: I tossed together a few family camping pics with the dual cab...

Looks functional, but I wouldn't sleep on the ground in a Malaysian jungle.

I might not wake up in the morning, or discover something had swallowed my foot.

Fairy nuts.... (but seriously - bugs, snakes, and panthers/tigers/bears/elephants don't bother you if you have a green mozzie net over you when you sleep on the ground, or on a stretcher)

Well, that's the fuel storage sorted.
One right Long Rane Automotive sill fuel tank with 65 litres, one left sill fuel tank with 55 litres, and the rear Long Ranger tank with 127 litres.
No more Jerry cans for me!
Both sill tanks have their own filler, electric transfers pump and electric gauge on the centre consol.
Very neat.
I had to loose my running boards, but I'll have a set of rock sliders made to fit with the sill tanks.

Did the electric window mod, popped a 99 relay in for the windscreen wipers and extended the remote control wire so I no longer have to hold the fob against the drivers side window to open the beasty. Also soldered in new wires for the central locking on both rear doors as they've been knacked for the last year and I'm over reminding the kids to push the button down when they get out. Finally got round to taking the rooftop tent off the roof rack. Beer.
