That is under powerlines on the way out after a trip to McIntyres hut in the Brindebella's. I tried to upload the .GPX or .KMZ but they are disallowed.
Here is a trip report:

Thought I'd post our two tow vehicles. The Patrol is running Mickey Thompson MTZs, 2 in lift with Poly airs, Snorkel, Dual Battery and the challenger has a 2in lift with poly airs and the snorkel. Still wanting to add some other bits to both vehicles but the expanda is getting the money at the minute
The Triton does about 16ltrs/100. Looking at maybe getting a mandrel exhaust. 17.56.2 is 2.4 tonne. HR WDH helps a lot for stability.
Hey Chartrock,
Nice van same as ours. Just wondering about the hatch on the RH rear of van behind toilet waste door, did you put it in or was it done from the factory? Any particular reason for having it?
Cheers

G'day Col, it's an external shower fitted by the dealer as part of my purchase. We have the internal shower and HWS and just thought it would be a nice little extra. I have used it to wash my feet after beach play. 
Cheers thanks for that. i thought it may have been an access door into the cupboards under the mattress area.
Cheers

An access door to that area would be great from either side but the dealer fitted the shower that side and the Jayco safe is fitted just inside the other side. I could move the safe to just behind the shower and put a hatch on the kerb side as someone else has done on a bigger van. Food for thought. :whistle:
Yeah thanks. The Amarok tows just fine but like riding a 250 motorcycle, they can go pretty quick but you need to do a bit more work with the gears.
Hi Big Gee, very nice looking rig, I have a Ranger on order at the moment, am also thinking about getting an ARB Bullbar fitted and dual Battery setup, would you mind posting a couple of pics of the Ranger with the bullbar on it? And also if you dont mind, how much did it set you back, bullbar and Dual Batt. Cheers
