That is one high up Patrol, think this one next to mine was 6 inch lift but smaller tyres than yours.

Kind regards

Russell.

Cool photo. Shame you couldn't have the Land Cruiser in there too for a comparison. All awesome vehicles :thumb2

 

[Mr K]

Right, a few upgrades for the truck so thought I'd upgrade the thread.
Some are good, some not so good but hey, cant win them all.

First of all I knew I had to get drawers put in the back to make use of the space. I also knew it wasn't something I could buy as the top half is custom so the drawers would have to be custom.

Had to put my big boy pants on and attempt to try and make something myself. So here goes....

 

[Mr K]

I took the measurements of the maximum sizes I could have. As you can see, the division is not central and both drawers will be different sizes.

 

[Mr K]

Sneakily made this in my spare time at work. Just getting all the kit together.

 

[Mr K]

Sorry if these are coming out the wrong way :doh

This one is better, depends on what wat I took the picture on my phone.

 

[Mr K]

Screwed all together after getting them all cut to the right sizes and creating the handle space

 

[Mr K]

Screws by themselves obviously wont be strong enough so I also glued them together. This glue holds F1 cars together so these with the screws and glue are now super strong.

 

[Mr K]

One more all clamped in position to hold as the glue sets. Normal room temp you really want a good 12 hours so left over night

 

[Mr K]

Under side. I'm quite happy with these so far ��

 

[jims-terrano]

These are looking great, more space to take shoes camping :lol

 

[Mr K]

Thanks Jim :thumb2

I wrapped them in PTFE on the bottom so that they slide on the boot floor carpet

 

[Mr K]

I then spray painted them black and put rubber matting on the bottom which isn't in this picture ready to go in the truck.

 

[Banshee]

You're getting away with doing that at work!?!?!? :sly

 

[Mr K]

With the rubber matting in so things wont slide about.
