That’s a cool idea Ian, list of jobs on the window looks like it’s getting smaller

Almost finished welding underneath, and I mocked up the diesel heater

Ian, you could run an outlet under the tray and into your swag!

Fitted this up today
It’s a rare OG Big Boots headlight dipper
One of only 6 known RHD versions, 1961 model only
Very lucky to own one, perfect for the Dual Cab
