Subritzky - Trundles Automotive

Far North Luxury Fishing 79 Series

This is by far the biggest build we have completed to date and unfortunately COVID-19 dragged it out a bit but it was worth the wait. 

Our customer from the far north had a long list of wants for his "once in a lifetime build". The truck arrived to us, fresh from the Toyota dealer, before our customer had even laid eyes on it. 

The criteria was pretty specific and a long list! Some of the main points were space for his fishing gear, plenty of power both on-board and engine wise, a hot shower, coffee machine, oh and he didn't want to change gears... 

DECK AND CANOPY 

What was initially just a fairly basic deck build quickly escalated into a full kitchen/water/shower canopy kit out. 

Our deck features include: 

 

Under the deck we have fabricated and mounted a 150L water tank and water pump, which feeds the wash down hose and hot water shower unit. 

The deck itself is similar to those we have previously produced, but the canopy and it's interior has been fully custom made to the customers requirements. 

Plywood lined with marine carpet throughout, on one side there is a massive 95L ARB Elements fridge on a Clearview Easy Slide Fridge drop.  

 

On the other side we have the hot water shower, induction cooktop, custom removable bench and Nespresso coffee machine! 

 

 

To power this set up we supplied and installed the biggest REDARC system available to suit our customers requirements, consisting of: 

  • REDARC 3000 watt inverter 
  • REDARC 150W Monocrystalline Slim Line Solar Panel
  • REDARC Redvision Power Management System
  • 300AH worth of Full River batteries 
  • Full auto dimming lights 
  • Full cell phone interface 
  • Full 12 and 230 volt install with extra charging ports in canopy and inside cab.

SUSPENSION

We supplied and fitted a comprehensive lift kit comprising of the following:

FRONT:

 

REAR: 

 

 

 

WHEELS AND TYRES 

For the wheels and tyres we fitted Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 305/65R17 on 17x9 Fuel D665 Shok Rims (custom machined centre bore). This was coupled with our Trundles Track Width Correction hubs, correcting the rear diff which comes out of the factory 100mm narrower than the front. These hubs have LVVTA Concept Type Approval making certification a breeze. 

 

 

BARS AND WINCH

For the bar work we supplied and fitted a colour coded (painted by Steven Sole Customs) ARB Bullbar, Side Rails, Rock Sliders and black powder coated steps. To complement this we added a pair of STEDI Type-X Pro Spotlights, a Dobinsons 12,000lb winch and a genuine Toyota tow bar. 

 

 

 

POWER UPGRADES

For some extra power we installed a 3" stainless exhaust and a Unichip with a map select switch. This was tuned on the dyno, resulting in 200hp / 700nm. 

 

GEARBOX

The customer arranged for a Wholesale Automatics 6 speed automatic gearbox conversion to be delivered to us for installation. This was a first for us, and we look forward to installing more in the new year. 

 

INTERIOR

The entire interior was stripped so we could install Dynamat sound proofing. We removed the front and rear seats which were sent to a local upholster for a full leather and heating upgrade.

The automatic gearbox conversion was supplied with a beautiful factory-looking centre console. We complemented this with a roof console (complete with a private band radio wired in, hidden behind a custom made facia), front speaker pods with upgraded speakers and rear consoles with USB chargers and cupholders. 

The rear seats were embroidered by Stitches in Whangarei with the customers logos.

CELL RECEPTION UPGRADE


Our customer mentioned he had difficulty getting cell phone reception when up north on the beaches. We did a lot of research and ended up installing the Powertech GO Spark 4WD unit with Antenna. This sneaky little unit sits under the drivers seat and gives a huge cell reception boost. 

 

 All up this build was a huge project for the team and many, many hours were spent on it. We are super proud of the end result and a huge thanks go out to everyone that we collaborated with to help bring our customers vision to life.
