- In this video I show you how I lined the tub in marine carpet and fitted a 1350mm full extension fridge slide, ARB 60lt fridge,12v Lithium set up , 2000W Inverter, pull out Drifta kitchen and my favorite addition the wine rack!
I picked up my new 2021 Dmax X-Terrain in November 2020 and in Ep01video I went thru my wishlist of accessories, upgrades and what I have planned for the build. I am a solo traveler and my goal is to build a reliable and strong tourer that is capable off-road.
check out Ep01 Dmax Build • E01 MY21 DMax Build - ...
Over the next few episodes I will go thru my modifications and upgrades to the Dmax. In the next episode of this series I will go thru all my accessories fitted so far.

Nice setup, I like the fact you didn’t have to get rid of the factory sports bar to fit the platform.
Thanks, it it the perfect setup for me.
Jesus…what a build, I’m very impressed.
Looks a million dollars mate!, will be following your build. 👍
Nice job mate well done! waiting on a different truck but planning a similar set up ,thought I had it figured out but now you got me thinking.
Thanks, glad you liked the video 👍👍
What a nice view of your video..👍🏻
Thank you so much 🙂
Beautiful build mate!
Well done, love your work.
Thank you so much 😀
Good job mate looks like a good setup.
Thanks, it suits my camping style 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great set up !!
I think so too!
Mate nice job, looks really clean
Thanks 👍
love your truck uncle . I wish i have one of those .. Oneday :)
Thanks, they are a great truck👍
Nice set-up mate. I have something similar in the back of my ute but always looking for new ideas!
Thanks, my set up is perfect for my style of camping 👌👌
Wow, a lot of time and effort! I took the easy option of removing the tub and installing a Norweld tray and canopy with a Enerdrive wiring package.
And he saved many thousands of $
@Rich Ard make that tens of 1000's .😱
Awesome build and you’ve got me thinking about my XTerrain options. Wondering where you store solar panels, sleep gear, tent?
I have a solar blanket that fits in the tub,swag and chairs go on the tub rack and if I go with my kids then a second swag or tent goes onto the Roofrack
Great colour
I wanted that colour but didn't want to wait so got silver
Good choice , silver was my second choice.
Great build thank you, you dont feel like doing another do you
Hi mate, the Dmax is looking fantastic. Just wanted to know what kind of tub rack do you have it looks nice.
BR Customs , located in Goolwa SA
Great video and love the mods. I just took delivery of an X-Terrain, so I’ll be following your build closely. What size tyres are your running? Cheers mate.

Hey looks great...still waiting for mine !!!!....i want a roof platform and maybe the tub rack too.....where did you get the roof platform from, and what make is it ?...cheers😁👍🏼
It is a Rhino Platform rack and the tub rack is a custom made one from BR Customs in Goolwa SA. The Rhino Platform rack I purchased from Roof Rack City in Adelaide
Eva cool travel mate 80 fits
Thanks for your comment
Great effort! Just wondering if you could show a couple of pictures of how you fastened it all to the tub, and what bolts you used, l’m looking at doing something similar with my new Ford Ranger.
Cheers
I don’t think I can post photos in YT comments. I used M8 x 316SS bolts with nylon nuts. I drill thru the tub and applied zinc paint before securing. I also picked up some original tapped holes in the tub around top edge + added a few rivnuts where there weren’t any OEM screws
@@travelsolo2677 Thanks very much for your quick response
Hey mate, nice videos. Please can you tell me what tub rack and mounting arms did you install on your D-MAX?
BR Customs do these is aluminium, only weighs 10kg
Great fit out mate, looking at doing something similar with my new D Max. Did you upgrade the inverter to 1800-2000w? The one shown is a 1200w
I run the same inverter that has a max of 1800w from memory. I cook at 1000-1200w as this seems to be the perfect cooking temp for most things.
Can I get some info on the battery and battery box. Looks great congrats
It is Victron 150ah lithium in Thumper battery box. Home of 12V in Adelaide built it. They installed a shunt so that I can use the Victron App to monitor levels,charge and draw.
how do you find the roller shutter for water resistance for your battery and fridge setup? And have you needed to dust seal the rear at all?
I don’t get any water inside tub, only a very small amount when sometimes I use a pressure cleaner
Hey champ what's your opion on the dunn Watson fridge slide you be using I'm looking at getting one cheers
They are awesome and strong. Never had an issue with it
How did you mange the dust issue on the tub mate? How bad was it when you were on the Simpson?
I fit a D seal and keeps most of the dust out.
Great video - what happened with the induction?
Nothing happened mate, I use it regularly when camping. I forgot to add a cooking clip into this video. Will add it in a future video.
Hi. Great setup. Can you tell me how you mounted carpeted plywood on tub? Thanks
In the video I explained that I installs M6 rivnuts to the tub lip and drilled some holes thru the tub floor to bolt in the marine ply panels. If you do the same make sure all holes are cleaned and painted. I applied rust converter prior to painting.
@@travelsolo2677 thanks for explanation👍
Hope it never rains
Thanks for your comment, I have been in pouring rain and the tub does let anything in. The only time I have ever got water in the tub was when pressure washing
@@travelsolo2677 🤔
What tub cover do you have and does it cover your build? Is it waterproof?
It is the genuine Isuzu roller shutter that came with the X Terrain and yes 99% water proof. I sometimes get a few drops when high pressure washing after a trip.
Hi. I am getting a kickass power box and plan to locate it in the same place as yr ute. How do you run the cable to the box? Though the taillights or a hole through the floor? Cheers for yr input.
Both are options, I came up thru the floor. Fit a grommet and sealed with silastic.
@@travelsolo2677 Thanks for the info.
Hey mate, when building your sides, how did you keep them mounted upright?
I fitted M6 rivnuts to the top of tub sides. On the bottom I have 40x40 timber screwed to inside.
I feel like I should have been more specific, im about to commence a similar build on my ranger with a false floor so I dont have to drill through the tub. However want my inverter and dcdc charger mounted to the back of the tub on the wall, just not sure how to go about mounting some marine ply so it stays up? Or is it just tightly cut and wedged in?
Mine are all bolted in. I inserted rivnuts and used M8 to secure floor ply to tub and M6 to the walls, the sides are secure to the floor ply using hidden brackets
what setup is the power outlet, can u plug air fryers into it
I have a 150AH lithium battery and 1800W inverter. You would have to know what Wattage the air fryer is and how long you want it running for. Then work out a set up for you. I cook on an induction cooker at 1000W at 20mins and it uses approx 30% of my battery charge
Mate love your build. Getting my new ute end of the month. Can you share you build info? Happy to pay for it.
Thanks for your comment. What build info are you looking for?
@@travelsolo2677 Your tub build and the lovely panelling.
I used 17mm marine ply on the floor and 12mm for the rest. As in the video I drilled 8mm holes thru the tub floor to attach the 1350mm Dunn & Watson fridge slide and 17mm ply using 316SS bolts and nylon nuts. Paint all holes to protect paint from rust. I flitted M6 rivnuts to the top of tub where it folds over to secure side walls. On the bottom, on 17mm ply I fitted brackets to secure bottom of 12mm ply side walls using M8 bolts. The back wall I fitted my dual ARB compressor and 1800W Victron Inverter. I have a 150AH Lithium battery installed in tub that everything runs off. I ran a 8mm dual cable from starter battery thru a hole I drilled in tub floor, which I protected with paint and a grommet before sealing with silicone. In hindsight I have since found out I could have come up thru the taillight area. This cable is fused at the starting battery by 50A fuse.I have fitted a D seal around the tailgate that I bought from Clarke Rubber, they have rolls of various profiles. This stops 98% of dust and water coming into tub…… hope this helps you. Checkout my other video I did that explains the tub build
@Travel Solo Thanks for the info. You legend. 👍
I've wondered how the height of the rear rack mount in your vehicle?
me I have roughly 90cm height on my sitting position
It sits about 200mm above the roller shutter and when loaded I can still see under the rack and behind . When nothing is on the rack I don’t have an issue
@@travelsolo2677 200mm does means 20 cm to the roller and up to the bar
no problem mate! about the excuses doesn't matters for me at the responsive strangers
👍💯🇵🇭😎☺️❤️
Hey mate I'm just wondering how you got the ARB 60L fridge on a slide to fit under the roller cover?
Thanks for your comment, the fridge slide is bolted to the tub and I have 15mm clearance under the roller shutter. It’s a Dunn & Watson slide.
@travelsolo2677 thanks mate and just to confirm do you have the classic series II 60L fridge?
@@brandonn1573 yes, are you in Adelaide? I could show you.
@travelsolo2677 I am in Brisbane unfortunately but thanks a lot for your help!
nice job, the long slide draw is a good option. I'm not a fan of drifta products. They are over priced plywood that weigh a tonne. Anyone with basic skill can build it for a 1/3 of the price.
Thanks for your comment, Drifta drawers aren’t cheap however they have to pay wages and insurances + make a profit. I am happy to support Aussie manufacturers.
@@travelsolo2677 I love supporting Aussies if they have good quality. I bought their pull-out kitchen and was very disappointed in what I got for what I paid. It also put me overweight!
@@kanenaysmith9287 sorry to hear. I am very happy with my pullout kitchen, it’s the same size as a fridge and similar weight.
Which fridge did you get?
ARB Classic 60lt
Yeah, not sure how practical a lot of your build really is (eg the wine bottles will get bloody hot sitting in the back, the kitchen is a lot of manhandling, and 25l of water is f all) but thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comments, the kitchen is awesome and only takes a minute to set up and weight is approx. 25kg . I love how it is removable and can be set up anywhere.I only take wine during the colder months so heat has never been an issue 👍 If pushed I only use 5-6lts of water per day for cleaning/washing which gives me 5days out bush. I also carry 20ltr of drinking water behind the front seat.
Seppeltsfield?
yep , locals would know that palm tree lined road in SA :)
@@travelsolo2677 Very local. Good to see a Barossa boy creating good content.
