on the weekend i went to the sunday markets and bought an ENGEL 15L fridge in a genuine ENGEL carry bag. sweet deal, and as an added bonus, he gave me an old NAVMAN GPS unit. now i didnt have 2 put my phone on the dash, in the heat, bouncing out of the cradle from the "smooth" sierra suspension.

and as luck has it, its a really good fit, in to that compartment in the dash with the flip down door, and as i didnt get the door when i bought the car, thats where the GPS went. with a bit of velcro and some pushing, it fits great. and wont fall out.

i also bought a swanky center console/arm rest from motoquip.
and i'll be buying headlight sensors, the kinda ones that turn the lights on when it gets dark, that kinda thing.

with all this modern feelin stuff in an old banger like a sierra, i dont think im ever gonna need a new car. :-)

Try an external antenna if you can.
