Couldn't resist, this popped up...2000 TD5 with only 56000km on the clock

Looked like this day one, probably not the best colour to overland around the world

Looking better with new rubber

Modded the enclosure so they are water tight and secure

Back from the painters, left the colour selection up to the wife...my only request was not to stand out in the crowd

This hardtop was delivered without a centre dash or air-con

I have fitted a RedDot A/C Unit and have knocked up makeshift dash to accept a double din stereo and working on a gauge/switch layout before ordering the real deal from Raptor Engineering

I have also completely removed the rear springs and fitted air bags to allow for leveling up the camper.

It's taken about eight weeks to get to this point but I have to slow down and finish off bits and pieces.

We have camped five nights and are 100% happy with the pop top.

Long list of stuff to do...good thing we have four year before departure date.

More info or link on Red Dot system, please.

Good looking truck.

OEM compressor, the unit is mounted between the front seats on the bulk head.

I will track down the model number

He is a pic, let us know if you need any more.
