    Your build thread and blog are amazing!

    The story and photos all make me want to do some serious adventuring in my 110.

    I'd love to build a truck as tough as yours, but that would be a long way off for me.

    Thanks Ian ( and also to your wife ) for the great read, and keep it the fantastic work!

    Karijini if a great place, but most of the good walks are all "Grade 5", you need good balance and fitness. We saw quite a few people on some of the walks that should not have been there, they were really struggling to get back out of the deep gorges. One slip and they would be dead.

    Always enjoy seeing the progress on the truck and your trips. Still need to head over and check out the mog too, would be great to finally see it in the flesh and get some tips!

    Yep and Tom Price has the most active rope rescue SES unit in the state so plenty of people do fall and hurt themselves each year

    We had to help a lady walk out of "Hand Rail Pool" after she slipped and fell down the waterfall. Lucky for her she had a backpack with two large towels which took the brunt of the impact, I jumped in to help her out yet people who were metres away just stood and watched, including her husband. She was OK, just some large bruises but it could have been a lot worse.

    A couple of modifications to the truck, first off is a new tool/storage box in the place where the air tanks used to go. It is big enough to hold four jerry cans, but most of the time we will use if for the heaviest items like the tool bags, jack, spare oils etc.



    As an open box is not as strong as a closed box like the fuel tanks, I had to make a bracket that allows the chassis to flex without putting strain on the box. A M14 bolt can pivot in the oversized hole, there is a teflon spacer between the tube and the flat bracket to handle normal loads, but still allow it to move when the chassis flexes.



    The guys at my sheet metal shop did a great job on the box, made from 1.6mm steel it should survive on the truck. I've lined it with marine carpet, and added some internal tie downs for the jack etc.



    The other thing I finished is the 190lt fuel tank, this gives us another 70-80L of extra fuel capacity to increase our range to around 1200-1700km (off/on road)
