Yeh mate not a problem since I have change oil and the filter. I will be doing mine every 20,000 k from now on just for my own piece of mind after seeing the oil that came out.

Nice work with the door lights there Jamie My garage floor looked like that when I finished too. Make sure you get around to doing the back doors as well. With both doors open the light output is quite spectacular

Thanks mate I wasn't going to bother with the back doors but might give me something to do tonight if the hand break gives me the sh:ts

And the rear doors completed.

Nice work!

Looks good, the handbrake obviously gave you the shits it seems

I was shocked she even wanted to help
And ordered me a led light bar. WTF is going on

Small update went to jaycar today picked up 4 rolls of sound deadener for the doors
$30 a door and Clark rubber sell a foam 10mm thick $39 m
4 meters of that and my god the sound difference is unreal 10 times better I already had clarion speakers in each door with little tweeters. So much better now and not too expensive.
Had to laugh when I spotted the little bit of sound deadener Toyota put in. It's about the size of 2 packets of smokes.
Next up is to pull the seats and carpet out Friday night and do the floor
Well worth doing if your thinking about it.

Led light bar turned up yesterday all fitted up.
Not sure if I'm sold on it on the top of the bar what are your thoughts.

I have a a shitload of dynamat sitting in my garage. Waiting to do my floor and rear doors. Just lacking spare time and motivation.

What did you do with the foam?

What mounts are they for your led bar? I like the look of the spotties below with the bar on top

I put it on the door card and some on the door apparently it helps with heat better than dynamat alone makes a huge difference mate worth the time I still have to do the floor but just need time to pull it all out.

They are Ariel mounts from arb mate I've taken it off for now I'm not to keen on it myself fitting a fixed rhino rack tonight see how it looks on that if that's no good it will be mounted on a rhino x tray.
See how I go if it dosent end up back on the bar the mounts are yours if ya want them.

I've got mine on top I like the look of it and it throws a good light from there also. Definitely a personal preference thing though

Yeh it defernatly works well mounted on top of the bar but it was giving me the shits when working in the engine bay trying to reach over it so the roof rack it is hope to get it all finished and wired up tonight.

All fitted.

Might it be worth mounting higher on the racks? At that height the roof will block a fair portion of the forward light

I agree.

I didn't like mine on the bull bar at the start but it grew on me. Have you tested it at night? Having it on the roof, depending where it's fitted, it can cast light over the windscreen, making it hard to see, a slightly dirty windscreen and its terrible to see. We noticed this when we are out spotlighting. Also check out bulls build, he had this problem. In the right spot I'm sure it would be fine.

Neat lux to mate, couple of ideas I might steal
