Grenadier build – Nakatanenga stuff

12 volt, 4X4, Australia, guide, Uncategorised, , , , , , ,

The Doc’s Grenadier build continues. The Doc installed the Nakatanenga Sun Visor Organiser today on the passenger’s side visor. He was running out of room in the lockable centre console. He also bought an emergency mirror that he mounted on the organiser killing two birds with one stone – a vanity mirror on the passenger’s side and an emergency mirror if needed. The mirror is visible when the visor is down. Image from Nakatanenga website.

The Doc also installed the Nakatanenga rear Door Air Vents on both sides. Driver’s side shown here (RHD car). As he will sleep in the car, The Doc needed air circulation throughout the night. Previously he used a window sock and put down the window. This is a better solution.

ORS rear drawers, water tank, bed extension and dual ARB air compressor go into the car over the next 2 days.

Grenadier build – solar panel installed

Uncategorised, , ,

The Doc installed the King’s 160W solar panel on the roof rack, it mates well with the CTEK 250SE.

Expedition HQ previously mated the CTEK 250SE with the CTEK 120S, as well as running an Anderson plug up the B pillar to the front passenger power socket. The Doc just had to install the panel on the roof rack and plug it in. The panel was secured like it was on the Nissan Patrol and the old solar panel was undamaged after the crash.

Here is a photo of the solar panel installed, with a bonus image of the other view from the balcony (the view is about twice as broad as what you see). The solar panel was installed during the recent Ballina trip.
