No problemo, that is epically bright! Fits nice inside the bar too.

Its rediculous

stood in front of it and its like daylight

Dad said as I was coming towards him last night all ypu can see is a block of light

Yeah ive got it as tight fitting as possible and ah high up to protect it. Its bolted on atm as I dont like welding to thethe cage where necessary but testibg this weekend so we'll see if it stays on

Rear winch tonight.

We couldn't find the spring for the ratchet, so we improvised

Works pretty well

And fitted

Just got to wire to the car and fit the rope

We WILL make it to the welsh

Doing about 5 hours every night and all day at weekends

Dads been helping today so were preety much finisged now

It doesn't shsnag at all works really well

Massive progress today

All isolators fitted

Rear winch wired up, tested and rope fitted

Waffle boards secured down

Then sorted the front recovery points/wwinch hooks

I love tools

Dads been busy too. He's sorted the brake lights, made up the mount for the second alternator and wired up

We've also mounted the fire extinguisher, tidied up the compressor tank and a few other jobs

Just going to give the main beam a relay boost, make the doors close better and a few jobs like that then its just improvements

I meant snag listing, hope you've got enough time to shake it down for an evening and snag it the day after! But that might be a luxury

And what the hell is that tool?!

Mr Noisy · Feb 28, 2015

I'm gonna guess:

Magnetic pillar drill?!?!
