Decided that the truck needed a little TLC so have spent a few quid on toys!
First off the tool chest (thanks TC)been after one for a while, really pleased with it nice powder coat and secure storage for kit.  Click image to enlarge Next up some side trim panels from Mudstuff, I opted for the extra nets and glad I did. They come with some meaty foam insulation and were a doddle to install even for a non tech (union rules ofc). Unfortunately I did have to hack them a bit so the lid from the chest would clear but its no biggie.

I already have a parrot kit installed so didnt need phone function. Halfrauds had a nice looking head unit at half price which seemed to fit the bill. A Navsure N420i. Quite impressed with the quality, pretty simple install just plugged straight in. It has a motorised LCD panel that disappears into the dash when you want it out the way, a short video on it opening and closing. Lastly a reverse camera, I went for a small black camera from reversingcamerasuk, good value for money and not too big. It draws less than a watt so I've connected it to the perma live. The supplied lead is plenty long enough to reach the head unit. Picture is much better than the photo as the light in the cab was not great.

It's a heck of a lot louder than the LR radio, at least double. Radio is same, handy to have the traffic system though.
For the money I'm really pleased with it. Pom |
