The bottom drawer is a cooking drawer and we use a little butane cooker





This was before we got the roll out awnings at the side and rear but this was a wet weekned where ai just rigged a tarp and we cooked tea.



I also have 14.5 gallon water tamk with a little pump in so we have running water..



This is the area between the cargo barrier and the back of the drawers systen where I have the water tank and also where we keep our clothes bags, camping gear.."Aussie Swag"...plus tool kit, spares etc etc



Thats the swag on the top shelf



And it rolls out like this



Depending on how long we are staying and the weather we either sleep in this as it is, or for longer stays we have alittle dome tent and we roll out the swag inside the tent.

Becasue the Engel was a bit shorter than the drawers, I had a little area where I decided to create an electrical board to protect the power supply for the fridge, water pump, 12v lights and 500W inverter. Works really well as the door stops things falling against it. Since this picture was taken I have also mounted our dual battery there as well. Every things runs off the dual battery so we don not flatten the main battery when we are away..not fun having a flat battery in the middle of now where!

Thanks for posting this over here Nugget!! I have been drooling over your arb bumper and thinking about getting one for myself. Have you seen any H3's down there with the rear bumper from ARB? I would like to see one in black on a truck instead of the red promo one in the pics.

Is your rack an arb rack? It looks longer than the one offered for the H3.

Thanks for sharing, and I liked your videos about your truck.

Thanks H3slate..gald to be here. My bar is exactly what I wanted. Always wanted just the channel to keep the "Hummer" 7 tooth grill as the main attraction. I deal with ARB and they were kind enough to let me have this bar which was their protype of a Sahara bar which they developed for the H3 but then decided not to continue with into production. It came with a big chrome centre loop which sits in a corner of my shed!

Have not seen a black rear bar yet...might have to think about one for my rig!

The roof rack is a custom roof rack that I designed but sits on a set of ARB rails. I was lucky again to get a set of protype rails. ARB made 3 sets which have "H3" laser cut into them and again I was lucky enough to score a set.



Apparently ARB laser cut "FJ" into the rails for the FJ Cruiser roof rack they did for the US but Toyota got upset about them using "FJ" and threaten all manner of nasties. ARB had already made the H3 prototypes but subsequently decided to drop the laser cut H3 in production in case GM had a case of the "Toyota's"! End result was that I got a special set of rails to put my roof rack on!

I wanted the rack to be full length with the 4 spot lights across the front. Thought that was in keeping with the Hummer look and tradition. I have 1 support forward of where the rails end, but I do not put any weight there...keep it between the rails.
