    D4 - modified

    Guys, I have finally uploaded some photos of my D4. I ended up going with a Traxide dual battery system - but using a thumper in the rear (located within the ORS drawer system when fitted / or up against cargo barrier when ORS is not fitted). I also added extra LED lighting which I found very handy in my D3.

    ARB air compressor under the bonnet;

    Uniden UHF which I remove when not needed (plug in hidden down by drivers left knee).

    Under body protection at front (LR / Mantec); GOE compressor guard;

    Here are some photos:

    Gday...

    Very interested in the little ladder on the rear top tailgate.

    Did you buy it pre-fabricated? If so, where please?

    And how is it mounted on top? I assume it just sits on the bottom with some sort of 'buffer' to save paint etc.

    The rig looks great .... well done.

    Cheers
    John

    I was looking at getting some more light around the back, and was considering where to mount those strips of LEDs. Your idea of lining the frame of the back window is awesome!

    John,
    That is a Land Rover factory part.
    Try your local Dealer & see how you go.

    Cheers

    John, its the standard LR ladder you can order from your local dealer ("G4 Challenge ladder") - albeit I got it cheaper by buying it over the net from Duckworth Landrover in the UK (yes, even with freight - its light!); I think others make a version too (Dolium maybe? - check their website).


    The flexible LED lighting strip is unnoticeable when its off - very effective when its on - especially above the fridge (when the fridge slide is out). Separate switch so you can turn off front / middle row interior lights while camping and just have the new LED's on.

    cheers!

    Yes, good point, on the D3 (just sold) I had a RWC so this wasnt an issue. With the D4 I have a second set of (5) rims and MTR tyres for the so to avoid having to take drawer system out (its not permanent by the way, takes less than 5mins to remove) the plan is to leave standard spare in place, use 5th MTR on top of car or camper trailer and hope that gets me through....which it really should....!

    Hmm - I was wondering for mine whether I could just put a hole in the bottom of the drawer system so at the most only a drawer needs to come out... don't think I'll be getting spare rims and MTR's for xmas, no matter how nicely I ask!!

    Oh and is that an ARB fridge? What do you think of it?
