this is my setup.
for our next trip the RTT will be moved to the front, this setup makes the 90 too back-heavy. We have a drawer system inside, with ammo boxes & a fridge, which are easily accessible by the gullwing doors: I've removed the stupid plastic interior trim to gain more packing space in the load bay. |

exactly. some of the so called "overland" companies would do well to learn that a lot of the stuff they sell is just not required |

But that's what modern society is all about buying/selling stuff you don't need |

Some cracking photos Uncle Ray.
Hope you did not mind me cropping your other photo. When it comes to equipping a vehicle that is why I talk about NEEDS rather then wants. I know of one overland equipment company where the owners have an impressive lack of overland experience, Brendan |

Al thx, guys have beat me to answer your questions, yes they are right, the poles are good quality and you can get them direct with BOAB, I have an Oztent too, so in theory paid about £500 for my poles The Basha I think I may have brought from USMCpro, but there are loads on the internet as the guys said |

Decided while I was bored with the flue and nothing to do, to see if I could make something to take my Basha without using the Patriot rack for when I use a ground tent. So used some Ali section 2.8m (poweder coated) which was kicking around (few holes in it already) and created a rail to fit the basha to it, which in turn a couple of brackets then fit the rail to my Thule roof bars. Some strategic placed eye bolts and some mini carabiners and Bobs my uncle!
Additional beneift of the rail is that i can tie the oztent to the rail as well as the roof bars when its packed, I might by the oztent awaning connector and add it that to the rail too. It very strong and took about 3-4 hours to do Click image to enlarge Basha connected in less than 15 seconds Click image to enlarge Eye bolts and min carbs Click image to enlarge no grass on my drive to put it up properly with some poles etc but i am sure yoy get the idea Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge will probably put some eye bolts on the patriot rack now and leave the carbs on the basha as this would work better than the bunges i was using and at 15 seconds to fit much easier just an idea and very bored |
