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.

Have you got everything ,and what will you use the horn come external speaker for ? And have you got some binoculars in the side pocket to see your lights at 1000 mts that’s a some criter blinding light capacity enjoy your new rig.

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.

Nice rig , I’d be interested how you had the sensors turned of I thought you had to turn them of each time you drove it . Hope your as happy with yours as I am with my 9 year old version . Matt

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.
