After buying a Nissan XTrail and finding out how good they where off-road my wife and I started to get into overlanding. I started to build it up for overlanding. The build can be found here http://bleary6.wixsite.com/judyandbrett/the-x-trail

We started to want to go further afield and found the limits of the XTrail. After looking around for what our next car would be, we settled on the Mazda BT50.

In January 2017 we brought 2011 BT50 with 163,000km on it. It already had the following on it
- ARB Deluxe Bull Bar
- Old Man Emu Suspension
- Engine Protection
- Safari Snorkels

We have added the following
- Reversing Camera
- GME TX3100 CB
- 9 inch 259 watt Osram LED spotlights
- ARB Ascent Canopy
- Rhino Roof Rack
- Fuel Prefilter
- RoadSafe recovery points
- Superior Engineering Transfer Case Guard
- Titan rear Drawers
- Dominator 4x4 Rock Sliders

The build out can be found here http://bleary6.wixsite.com/judyandbrett/the-bt-50

To be abbed in about a week will be an Ironman winch.
