well as Caddy
Bullbar: ARB and TJMs premium bar, (want the bar to be winch comp)

G'day Carl,
I've got the smooth-finished ARB canopy on my new BT-50. It's fantastic: great finish, not too high in profile and it integrates
well with the vehicle. It has a lift up front window which allows for the cleaning of the glass between the ute and canopy. I can retro fit the steel framework required to add carry bars/roof rack.
I opted for the East Coast Bullbars aluminium bull bar - black ripple-painted finish - as I didn't require a winch - I have a hand winch. I didn't want to carry the extra weight of a steel bar either. It was bought through ARB.
I'm not doing the drawers thing. I'm having an ARB plastic ute liner installed and I'll be making up a framework to secure the fridge slide plus second battery, jerry cans, etc.
See my profile picture for the work in progress.
Cheers !
Netnut

Plastic ute liners move, if you get sand,grit etc under them they scratch the paint . Then if it gets moisture under it ,you have rust.
I had a spray on Rhino liner put in
the tub. It`s tough stuff as it is used on horse float floors. 4mm on the floor and tail
gate, 2/3mm on the sides.
Looks very neat and tidy.
It costs a lot more than the plastic liner. The Mazda sales man recommended it to me.
