Nice job. Grab some rolls of Velcro from spotlight to replace all the cable ties used to attach item to the moly frames, better for ease of getting things off and better for the environment in throwing away plastic cable ties 👌

Internal fit out is looking fantastic, will be pinching a few ideas for our next build for sure. Also agree with you about the gull wings on the back. They look better than other brand on the market and flow really well with the 76bbody lines. Nice work.

Hey guys love the rear fit out it’s exactly what I would do just a wee tip I’ve seen you used a few cable ties for hanging stuff of the Molly in the past I’ve used Velcro straps they work great and are reusable and multi functional if you are changing the size of the items hanging on the moly Hopefully we bump into you in wa we are in Albany

Simon I’ve just fitted up powder coated alloy panels from Senenty6 to replace both the back door card and also the inner cards along each side. I think it’s what you might be looking for, check them out 😉 Using up that roof cavity is a great thing- we have the Fourby fit outs touring set up in the back and the jacket rack I love very much, as well as the gull wings

They're pretty solid. I might put some locktite or spring washers on the bolts, but that's all it needs, I reckon 👌
Coming together really well. Great work. Just wondering whether that battery has enough ventilation tucked away like that. Love that molle equipment and those gullwings are awesome. Top job on the draws also. Gooooo the 76

Thanks mate. We had to get the ply out of Melbourne. It was a little tricky to track down.
Regarding the placement of the kids’ tablet for watching movies from the back. Having it that close to your heads could well become a problem for the adults in front of you but if you purchased a small Bluetooth speaker that could possibly be mounted over the boys’ heads or even just put it on the seat between them you might have a better outcome.

Great video and great set up! You should be proud! Question: it looks like you have mounted the axe using cable ties… is it you final solution (ie replace the tie every time you are using the axe) or do you have a long term solution ?
@TheLifestylePioneers

Thanks! The axe and a few other things are just temporarily mounted for now while we work out how we want everything. The axe head cover could stay with a zip tie and then something else for the handle 👍

Your video gave me some food for thoughts… I like the shelves, but without carpet, how are you going to handle the rattling? Another point, (one of the improvement I am currently making to my set up) is the air flow around the fridge compressor. We have recently been in NT and at 35+ dgr, the fridges in the car severely struggled…. I am going to add a fan to force some air flow around the fridge and see how I go…
Looks amazing Simon, great design and very professionally built. Just a question, do you need or have to think about any cooling around the fridge and the battery behind the fridge? The kids will love the iPad mount, they’ll need some Bluetooth headsets now. Great all round fit out, you’re very skilled. Have a good week and safe travels to WA. Cheers from NZ

Thanks Wazza. We used 12mm ply to keep the weight down, but that does make fixing more tricky. We just used 20mm chipboard screws, make sure you pre-drill though.

Best to get the fridge dimensions online. The box is 350mm high and 1020 wide. The base board rests against the rear seat mounts, I'll have to get a measurement for you.
