Cheers igil it is a nice colour

[cjsxrt]

Added some more storage with some roof racks on my lid with a basket and I added a duel gauge pod with a duel battery gauge and oil pressure gauge

[cjsxrt]

We went to Gladstone this week for some work and had a play with my lights the photos really don't do it justice but when on it's dam bright

[cjsxrt]

installed my 2nd light bar before we went on holiday and got it up and running yesterday

[cjsxrt]

So I've done a fair bit since this


Pretty happy with how it's coming along now to save for solar

[cjsxrt]

Made it look a lot better

[cjsxrt]

Solar is now on and charging one of my batteries

[snakesoup]

noice one;-)

[cjsxrt]

Thanks snake soup happy with it

[snakesoup]

ended up a tidy install on the fridge also, good little setup

[cjsxrt]

Only place it fits in my ml with the lid on lol

[Duck]

Yes I like the look of the hard lid but as far as flexibilty goes, well did I say I like the look
Ute is looking good. What are you fog lights ?

[cjsxrt]

Yeah the lids a pain but I paid $50 for it and I really didn't have the plan I have now so i now have to live with it lol. They are jaycar led spot lights when I bought mine it didn't have lights there so I went looking for something to fit in there they are on there own switch aswell

[snakesoup]

yeah I noticed them led's also, they certainly look the part too.. how do the perform?

[cjsxrt]

The only one i have with them on they aren't as bright as the light bars but they go ok with them all on mainly wanted something down there and most people wanted a arm and a leg for their standard ones

[cjsxrt]

So after yesterday afternoon not being happy with the Flexi conduit I put it in some solid much happier with it now

[Cowboy Dave]

Have you allowed for the flex between the tub and the cabin? That sports bar could easily move an inch or two if you hit the wrong obstacle hard enough.

[cjsxrt]

Yeah there's movement in the pipe so if it flexes it'll move plus the pipe isn't glued so if any issues it can be rearranged.

[har05l]

Love some of your ideas

It's the little things I reckon that give more satisfaction

[cjsxrt]

And doing it all by myself is the fun part knowing I can do it with no issues

[darreljourgenson]

Added some more storage with some roof racks on my lid with a basket and I added a duel gauge pod with a duel battery gauge and oil pressure gauge

Hey mate I like the basket on the hard lid, does it handle much weight? Any pics of how the roof racks are attached to the lid?

[cjsxrt]

Hi darrel I've got my max tracks bolted to them and we usually put the kids pram or bike on it other blokes has done the same and said they hold a bit of weight
So the first pic is how the back rack is bolted
The second pic there is a hole in the frame is where the front is bolted but I made a mistake and didn't allow for the feet of the racks that's why I had to drill through the frame and the last pic is of the rock armour max tracks that was nut serted in the frame. The roof racks were from a Nissan pintara

[cjsxrt]

Our first family holiday everything went well some awesome coast line around this was in wooli, mini waters and diggers camp beach nsw


We done a few different beaches a dirt road and a 4wd track that I'll need to get the scratches out from lantana

[cjsxrt]

Went up bribe on Sunday was a great day.

Done some things this week got put my thumper on a switch. Put my solar reg in a couple of battery gauges pretty happy with it and the left side doubles as storage for the 4wd gear

[cjsxrt]

So I've built my own rear draw and fridge slide just need to carpet it

And I tinted the canopy only need to paint it now
