LED light bar fitted (20" combo spot/flood), wired to second battery, direct on/off switch at the moment, waiting for H9 extension lead as I don't want to cut/splice into the factory high beam wiring.

Didn't realise how bright these LED bars are.

Cut solder and heat shrink. Or cust twist and electrical tape.

I have these plugs and I have a funny feeling they don't work as expected

From memory I tried the same thing and ended up having to splice into the wire as mentioned

The plugs could be sourced from alibaba but was a pain in the sending emails back and forth at the time

I think it was the clips that didn't work

great work

Photo updates

Thought I would post some updates, finally fitted the heavy duty springs - thanks Tim, Light bar mounted and connected (still wired direct - waiting for harness adapter).

Heavy duty springs give an additional 20mm lift in the rear.

Light bar switch mounted next to steering column.


I would suggest that anyone that works on their car on a regular basis should invest in a rattle gun, cordless or air, saves soooo much time.

Got myself the Ryobi One cordless for my birthday, one of the best presents ever, only took me 45 minutes to swap the springs over !

I have that exact same one.

Best invention since the womens bikini.

Glad the springs worked out.

The plugs will be fine I just had a look at mine and remember now I just got impatient waiting for them

[mr_bosman]

Wiring harness adapters arrived, will have a go at it this weekend.

Rear Antenna Mount

Antenna mounted at rear on a heavy gal bracket (bunnings, bracket is from the steel building/bracing section already had the right bends and holes). Using the top right bolt on the rear wheel bracket.


But again happy with the result.

Hi

do you have maybe a pic showing the connection at the bolt you used. Is your spare wheel fitted with the lift bracket?

Regards

No photo sorry, yes the spare wheel lift is fitted.

If you are looking at the back of the paj, I used the top left bolt that holds the spare wheel bracket to the paj. needed a slightly longer bolt as the factory one was about 5mm to short. used some washers to space the bracket so that I didn't crush the lip on the spare carrier.

Excuse the crude drawing.

I fitted a set of Boo Boo's plates too. Overall very happy (for the price ). Out of interest, Boo Boo's guards allow much more airflow to the intercooler compared to Bushskinz! (Confirmed by comparing mine to Nj_swb's Bushskinz guards)

I saw that too when I was comparing them to the Bushskinz, and don't get me wrong would have loved to have gone down the Bushskinz path the minister for finance would have removed some body parts --- and not from the car !
