Nice work with the door lights there Jamie :D 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 8-)

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?

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.

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 :)

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

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 :D
