Thanks to the following:- Speedy Towbars, Slacks Creek. Instant Windscreens, Slacks Creek. EZ Tool boxes, Coopers Plains. iTech, W.A, Kings Adventure 4 x 4, Parkinson. Bossco Auto parts, Prestons NSW. Repco Max , Slacks Creek. Goodyear Auto, Springwood. Harris Mechanical, Buccan. On Track 4WD, Slacks Creek and a few various other retailers for accessories and advice. For those that want to know, I got SFA change out of 80K. I also got a really well built, tough 4 x 4 tourer that will see me happy for many years to come. Do it right the first time, as I did with my previous 4 x 4. Price of accessories was not the priority, more like accessibility and availability along with warranties provided and proven products.

I've been on a quick trip to Airlie Beach and upon return fitted bullbar etc.

My Colorado has been sold. ;D

Wow, I like what effort you have put into it. In the old days, a winch, a shovel and a portable air compressor with a swag and an esky in the back was enough.

That's still good value compared to trying to buy a boat for that amount of money and look at it and wonder why it costs so much.

Matt, I had the alarms turned off, just the noise / bells / beep beeps. The sensors are still active.

There are some that are tricky to turn off. Further my lane assist mirror lights are permanently turned off and 2 x lane correction sensors have to be turned off each time I get i n the car. But, it's just a matter of starting the car, pressing one button for 3 seconds and all good :)

Excellent way of doing it , I see a few complaining about all the new features that are now standard on just about all of them . Happy times ahead , I hope you have as good a run with yours as iv had with mine that is on its 10 th year .

The new one don’t like city driving the DPFs clog up they need running time over 80 km for a bit too regenerate the DPF.

A lady at work has a new BT 50 which is a rebadged Isuzu and tows a horse float but till has the DPF light come on just from her travelling to work with no highway travelling she had it back to the dealership twice for this .

Very nice rig. Often overlooked by many but those weather shields are worth their weight in gold. May I ask what they cost as an extra from Isuzu?

I got nothing from Isuzu. Just a standard SX , but Silver paint option. I did most of the options myself.

Tray / canopy, suspension and tyres as well as bullbar were professional fitment, due to either sensors or more than a one person job.

Sorry for the confusion with the photo at Isuzu keema Springwood, I took that photo the other day as the dealer wanted to see my completed rig to show potential customers what can be done.
