Mick's GU Patrol Ute

Mick's GU Patrol Ute

This customer was referred to us from a Quality local tray and Canopy Manufacturer. (ABR Fabrications in Townsville)

We have completed alot of projects together in the past, But this turned out to be one of the biggest and best builds to date.

This job started as a Canopy installation with all the fruit, The customer wasn't local to Townsville so we had plenty of time to complete the canopy and get it all ready for delivery day.

This canopy had all the fruit, 225ah tucked away nicely with the Power Lithium Slim-Line Battery.

We put this kit together with a Redarc Core 40, as it wasn't going to be exposed to the elements, and wired the fridge, Strip lighting, water pump and travel buddy to the canopy control box.

However, As with most old cars, once we received the vehicle, We seen many years of different owners attempts at 12v accessories under the bonnet, and we couldn't leave this car alone.

Here's a couple photo's of the under bonnet wiring we were greeted with.

This Vehicle was well overdue for a cleanup, We found a heap of un-fused connections, The auxiliary battery was flat and not charging due to a faulty vsr, and after we started the cleanup, we also found the vehicles alternator was on its way out.

 We got the vehicle back up to our standard, and have heard nothing but glowing feedback from the customer over the following months. He even travelled 1000km's back to us to have a few extra accessories installed a few months later.
