Kit added includes an Opposite Lock triple-loop bar; side rails and steps for protection; Safari snorkel; diesel pre-filter and catch can; two-inch Outback Armour lift with Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs in 265/70R17; Hard Korr 22-inch light bar; GME XRS UHF paired to an RFI antenna, and Cel-Fi Go to an RFI 4G antenna; Roadsafe recovery points up front; and a Domin8r X Winch.

Inside, I’ve added Drifta custom drawers and a 40L Evakool drawer fridge run by a 105amp/h Century battery and Intervolt DCC pro. She has taken us to plenty of great places and many more to come hopefully.

Favourite trip so far is to Uluru and the West MacDonnell Ranges.
