Ask on your thread on LR 4x4 mate, they'll have some suggestions they might all not be sensible though! LOL:)

Matt, what are the little spots on the A bar and under the side lights?

[madmatt]

LED Side lights!

[Paul Smith]

LED Side lights!

 

:fight:Thanks! make and model?

[madmatt]

OOOPs sorry! They are Hella The A bar ones need sinking into a hole 2"x1"x3/4" and are these http://www.dun-bri.com/showdetails.asp?id=281

 

The ones between the side and Indicator lamps are these http://www.dun-bri.com/showdetails.asp?id=280

 

Both are avliable in white , amber, red but all are clear when unlit. I got mine from the local Auto electricians, but Dun-bri's prices are rather close.

Time for a little update, nothing stays the same for long! The whole 3 days of the easter weekend were spent in the workshop making a new winch bumper. Its made from a piece 0f 6x4 box section 10mm walled so is far stronger than anything avliable off the shelf.

 

here is a pic of it in progress,

 

 

Starting to fit it, after its had a holiday at the Galvanisers.

 

 

Finished

 

 

 

 

oops not quite one thing left the winch cam!

:wave:Great truck!

I'm beginning to feel normal now,glad i'm not the only one with the need to tinker.

Inspired to go off to the workshop to get the half scale 101 going for my small friend.

Man, that is one nice looking truck, bet it cost a few £££ to do all this.

Thats some heavy weight bumper Matt. Nice work, something satisfying about building stuff like that yourself.

 

I have a very heavy one on front of mine but now i`m worried about hitting something very hard- i think the chassis would give first:bawling:

Excellent fabrication!!!
