Been quite happy with my XTR but not sure I agree with getting one for the Sat Nav. The bigger screen is good but I prefer to connect my phone and use google maps. Definitely agree that clearview mirrors would be an advantage. Cheers and good walkthrough.
Nice vid! I’m going to get a quote for one of these trays. I keep wondering can the dog box vent be moved towards the back of the vehicle on request? Or can 2 windows be installed? Cheers
Why did you change from an upright fridge to a chest fridge? I know it's cheeky to ask but is it to show off the clearview slide or is there another reason that you guys found along the way?
Hi Callin, it's a little of both mate. I needed more freezer space for upcoming trips and we also didn't have a ES220 on display across our current range of demonstrator builds. So it was a win-win. - Harry
i would love one of these canopies. But the price i was quoted with fridge carrier for a freestyle cab was $35k. unjustifiable considering a brand new bt50 only cost $60 or less.
Since you're a BT-50 owner, I would like to ask you about the steering knuckles problem pointed out by other owners. Are you aware about it ? Did you notice anything about it ? Owners are talking of regular problem of wheels alignement and premature tyres wear. I was interested about the BT-50, but this steering knuckles things is kinda a let down. Just trying to figure out if that's really that bad, or more rumors than anything else. Thanks.
Great to see and hear a honest review, thanks mate
Thanks Matty!
The upgrade head unit from the next model up goes straight in and works 100%
Is that armax snorkel the one listed for the d-max? Because i cant find a safari armax listing for the bt-50 specifically.
Thanks

Have you had any tyre wear issues from bump steer or did you change steering knuckles

Hi, give our team in the office a call mate, they will be able to help and make a small change like that no worries. - Harry
Maybe a silly question but why did u change from the upright fridge to a waeco on a drop slide????

Almost as good as the WF Fabrication trays down here in Victoria, still not a bad tray though👍🏻
Thanks for the comment
What was the cost of the Lovells GVM/GCM upgrade?
The Lovells kit came in just under 8k. Highly recommend for peace of mind and legality. - Harry

its a bump steer issue. Just rotate every 5-10k, keep it aligned and you will have no issue.

Without me and my gear, it comes in at 3120kg. - Harry
Whats axle load over each axle? 3120 kg without gear
