    New wheels and tyres fit to where?

    thanks - that was my thinking really. I would guess steering and drive would make Fr Axle best candidate for new ones?

    Led bar, switches and harnesses

    So in this scenario 85 and 86 would need to be wired to your switch (the one which would turn on the aux lights without reverse) and an earth. This would cause the relay to switch over from open to closed, so from 87a to 87. 87 would be connected to battery pos via a suitable fuse. 87a would be...

    Led bar, switches and harnesses
