Vehicle Prep

I spent Saturday on a hobby farm with my head in my truck.  It was productive as I’ve added lights, and in-vehicle storage.


The lights I’ve chosen are a compromise between cost and function. Leaning heavily towards cost. Lights in Australia can cost anywhere up to $2000, a princely sum that is not in the ballpark of what I’m willing to pay. So for $200 I bought some lights from an online store, with the associated wiring kit.


The vehicle storage that I’ve gone for are the ute drawers.  The drawers are a kit, and offer a nicer way to storage all of the random bits that are needed on a trip like this in a managed way. Three weeks living out of plastic crates and a broom to pull them forward wasn’t overly appealing. This kit came with a fridge slide included, an essential bit of kit when you’re away as long as we are.
