I got the two gallon one (red) and storage pack (black).
Side by side opening the tail gate is limited but stacked or just a single opens fine. Once the high lift jack it on the packs mount higher and gate will open with them in any configuration without any dramas.

Whole lot cost me 300 + postage off ebay and the RotopaX site.

They make all different sizes, packs, water containers, emergency packs etx.
Mount on my teraflex high lift jack mount easily and perfectly.

I got the lockable rotopax clamp for security. Works a treat!

Replaced my dead old battery with an Optima D34. It's added close to 50kW at the rear wheels and improved fuel economy by at least 2-3 litres/100KM.

Oh wait, no, no, all it did was put a massive dent in my 'saving for new tyres' fund.

My brand of humor, don't we wish?
The only thing I would have thrown out with the old battery are the cheap "tin" terminal clamps. A good battery like that deserves better.
I put HD truck terminals with bolts on mine. Then fed 2 HD bus bars (taken from a high voltage electrical cabinet) and run all my cables from them.
That way I can disconnect any single circuit with one bolt (threaded the bar) or the entire electrical system with one bolt.
It's much neater and safer also.
There are lots of neat stuff on the market if you don't wish to black out the town by niking bus bars. You just have to be aware of the current draws. Mine are over engineered.

Sawed about 4" off my bump stops, she now articulates properly but is also now a dream to drive. Feels so much better, and is far less twitchy in the handling now...

Also finally got my TF discos in! Now I need to take her out bush again to see how different it is...

Put the carpet back in on the passenger side to impress a girl on a date

Swiftly took it back out for a bit of mud tomorrow.

On another note, arb caster kit in and muffler off with straight pipe now. Nice growl. Big difference in turbo response, almost no lag now!
