Camping bits. Show off what you made.

Since nothing is going on here, I will start a thread.

I tend to rather build some stuff that I want, instead of buying. Sometimes I also just slap some unused garage clutter together to create something cool (that I sometimes don't need at all, but then I have it :mrgreen: ).

So I will be posting some photos on here, and if you have some bits you want to brag about, you can also post in here. Sort of like an idea exchange...

But please don't go posting pics of the shit you bought off the shelf.

Only pics off the stuff you built, or modified.

Awesome idea.
We have been sitting on the edge of our seats all day.
When can we expect some pictures? Image

Are you referring to the Fortuner or the funny trailer thingy?

If you have not created anything yourself as yet, rather keep your comments to yourself, that trailer has travelled further and more than other peoples bought white elephant's

But what if whatever I made was really really bad?

If it is worse than my sand anchor then rather not post it, OK?

At least you proved that the design was useless for the intended purpose.

I think your trailer is awesome.

I saw one at kleinzee over December as well. Brilliantly kitted.

Martin, I made a joke. I admire your handywork because you did what YOU wanted and nobody else. You can feel proud that you made something and it has worked so well for so long. Keep it up meneer
