Is there a reason why you left the back seats in? They are bulky and really heavy, and it would have made sense to me as a casual spectator to remove them. I removed a back seat recently to access the sub-tank pump and it weighs a ton. I'd leap at any excuse to remove them permanently

I actually needed the rear seats on that trip to take the family on the dunes.
We also like having the rear seats in for taking family or friends along for 4x4 trails
Subsequently ive changed the setup to something much simpler and much lighter.

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
Hi I have done some mods recently.

3. DIYish drawer system made of PVC sheet, it is light in weight
4. Front runner water tank with pump.

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
That looks. awesome! My biggest regret is not having space for a water tank inside . I felt the water tank on the roof last year at the river tripra_01 wrote: ↑13 Apr 2022 13:42 Hi I have done some mods recently.

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
Thank you. Due to the tank and size of the fridge, I had to order a custom slider for fridge. Hope it fits properly. Standard fridge sliders in the market are either too big or slightly small for NL60 lt.
