Coming in your ears.
Well this whole getting pictures thing hasn't been going too well, been a bit busy repairing the car etc etc
However here's one things I bought
50ft winch extension line and another couple of snatch blocks
Winch extensions are handy for the obvious but also handy as tow ropes if you need to direct the pull through a snatch block
And I wanted to have 3 snatch blocks in the car in case I needed to do some complicated rigging, winching backwards or winching the rear of the car into position etc etc

Snapped my winch rope at the weekend, was using it hard!
But yer still need to get these pictures up
We need to see pics. If you mamanged to do that in your disco it must've been a proper hole.

So
Better get this boxed off
Will try to post things chronologically:
Bought a quick strop off Gwyn Lewis
Painted the inside of the shell/roof area Matt black
Bought a couple more snatch blocks for more complex rigs
Fitted an elastic net to keep the winchmans gear to hand
Built a shelf to keep sleeping bags/dry clothes etc high and dry
Can't really see it in this ****e picture
Can see it better here, also houses speakers
Fitted x lites to the rear for visibility in the forest etc
They work
Fitted a nice net up top for more goodies
Upped air system pressure to 150psi but then locker solenoids leaked so fitted a reg to drop them to 100psi
Here's the shelf in action also with rear interior light fitted
Got skanked 100 for this from QT, thanks guys
Had an led work light in the rear for a while switched at the front but using that circuit for x lites now
Also fitted some dim lights for bedtime
These needed a 2 way switch
which needed a little bracket
Painted my tatty lower shelf black
Laptop died and it's decided iPad the future so bought one and redesigned the dashboard, frees up space for future terratrip and co driver controls on passenger side, watch this space
Andy Thomlinson from plasma/Ruftraks (top guy) sent me a plasma lock
Which is ####ing handy cos I went off roading the day before it arrived and did a load of damage mainly boring stuff but the biggest deal is I snapped my winch rope
****but that's abother story, got some grill work to do also soon****
Also ripped the doors some more
So more trimming was done
took more door out
And also took material out of the arches to make more room for the, urm, chunky pitbulls
That's all for now chums

Duct tape to the rescue
I consulted my mate about what to do with the now gaping door hole
I told him there was the riveted aluminium option, the #### all option, or the rather embarrassing duck tape option
We settled on duck tape, quick, easy, perfect fit, and nobody cares

Bit more for y'all:
Bought a new grill from SteDisco as I had to make some changes to my current setup, and needed to start again
Here it is cut for the winch at the bare minimum
Here's the relocated isolator, the previous grill/position fouled on a spot lamp
I inherited a different set of strobes a while ago, decided this type would be more suitable for the new position
So I made some little brackets, they need the corners rounding over still by the way
And they'll fit somewhere like this on the lamp bar
But had to abort mission tonight as I need someone to hold the brackets whilst I tack them on to the bar!

So
I collared an assistant to hold the lamps whilst I tacked them on to the bar, then stripped it down and welded up, theres no pics of this!
Then removed and painted and refitted
Then built the bar back up
Wooo video (the music is on the radio :behindsofa: )
Just need a rope now
