There are also 2x Anderson plugs (1 on X-member and 1 on F/bumper) wired with 200A cable to battery via isolator switch in cab for easy jump starting etc.
The cab has been soundproofed (bulkhead F&R, floor, tunnel, seat box, even the roof), the back of cab and seat box is carpeted and the roof lining has been professionally re covered, RX-8 seats, cubby box, Raptor centre dash consul with CB, 4 speaker stereo, gauges, switches, USBs, cig lighter, volt meter etc, Raptor glove box, 4 decent speakers, ali gear knobs & door handles, uprated gauges (fuel, oil pressure, water temp, boost, digi clock, rev counter, TD5 electronic speedo. RDX centre consul (cup holders), dash top consul and dash end panel, loads of extra switches, P38 hand brake lever fitted on seat box next to driver seat (to free up leg room), very good heater, fire extinguisher, MOMO steering wheel on Optimill slimline boss and quick release.
There's many layers or security, which I will go through with the successful bidder.
The centre cubby could do with recovering if you're bothered about that.
MOT is until October this year. There was no advisories at the last MOT and it will sail through the next one.
