    List of thing to do to my hunting wagon...

    Picked up the cruiser tonight. An old one but hopefully a goodie.




    Am looking for advice and a list of shit to do to it to make it competent at river crossings, reliable, and generally a mean hunting wagon.
    I am talking maintenance, minor mods etc... It has had nothing done to it, as far as I can tell it's stock. Names of suppliers, websites, mechanics would also be a great help...

    I will take what I can from my other thread so no need to double post, and thanks to those who already suggested stuff to do

    Am thinking I will get a full service, change all the fluids, and install a snorkel. That's about where I'm at.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hi-lift jack points, winch, spots, big thumping stereo
    Cable pulleys on bull bar and roll bar for winching large game onto the back!

    Breathers should cost you less than 20 bucks or free if you know someone and save you thousands if your going to do water.

    Modifying a 4wd can get rather costly.

    You start off with a completely stock standard vehicle ......


    and before you know it it looks like this......


    And I still haven't worked out completely what it cost me to build - too scared to.
