02 SR5 Buildup

[mylesy]

how much did the 22" light cost??? mine needs a facelift, just thinking about spraying my bar either charcoal hammertone like my new ladder racks or a lighter silver than yours... and wouldn't mind a new lightbar

[jpathy]

I bought the 42" and 22" for $1075... The $42" is normally $1675 alone! They are from Bright Light Auto parts who had (and possibly still do) have a sale on them.. Plus they have a 5 year warranty!

[mylesy]

Yeah I just saw the add, really contemplating that 22" for $400 haha

Are Those LEDs on your rear rollbar or just reflectors?? Looking for a slimline type led brake light for my bars...

[jpathy]

They are LED. The Red is hooked up ONLY as a brake light and not a tail aswell because i didn't want it to look like a truck and the blinkers are LED too.

They are LED autolamp ones.

[mylesy]

What's the mounting like? Flush hidden mountings? I'm After something that's nearly flush mounted and no visual fixings or brackets... Thanks mate

[jpathy]

The mounting is very good compared to the Rigid Industry ones. The 22" has 4 feet with rubber pads on the bottom that are height adjustable. You can barely notice them and the bar sits less then 10mm off the surface the feet are bolted down too. The only way to remove the light bar is to undo the 4 nuts, if they are hard to get access too then your on a winner because people can't steal it.

This should give you some idea, if you want a better picture let me know and i'll get one for you today (ignore the rubber chocks under the front, they were temporary while i tested the angle i wanted it at).

What are you're impressions of the LED Light Bar ?????

[jpathy]

They do exactly what they are supposed to do, they are very bright, have an awesome spread, throw a long way for LED's and they are instantly bright when turned on, no waiting for HID's to warm up.

Small update,

I have now dynamatted all of the doors, inside the outside skin of the door and then over the inner skin. Cut down noise from the muddies allot!

[jpathy]

Well ive had a few little goodies turn up over the past couple of weeks including a 4 way BRC breather kit, compressor that is now mounted in the engine bay and a heap of new ARB style switches.

It is also booked in for the 17th October for the tray to be straightened out, holes welded in and resprayed for my new canopy which should be here end of october (this means the sports bar + LED Blinkers and tail lights + 4 spot lights + unity gain aeiral and Tonneau cover will all be up for sale).

I am a bit over the rough ride so we changed the rear shocks to something softer and it helped but not enough so it looks like back to new standard leafs i go and then some extended shackles put on to lift it back up again, more travel and a softer ride...

I'll get some pics up of the new goodies some time this week.

BRC 4 way breather kit

Just a little update.

This is my compressor mounted nice and snugly. I bought a Dr. Air Pro Flow 150L (the winner of the 4WD action comparo). I am going to hard mount an air tank under the tray and when i finally mount my dual battery i'll connect it upto that but for now i just use the terminal clamps when i need to use it.


I also over the weekend and today fitted my BRC breather kit to both front and rear diffs, gearbox and transfer case.

[csale]

nicely done sir!

[jpathy]

Thanks,

Have started stripping m tray down ready for Monday..

[jpathy]

Well the ass of this thing is all stripped and currently sitting like this at the panel shop.

[jpathy]

Got the lux back from the panel shop today! They did a bloody great job and the tray is now in perfect condition ready for the canopy to arrive. (have already started saving to get the whole thing resprayed now).

This is what it looks like, you'd never know there was tonneau buttons in it!

[rwnslux]

that tray shave makes the world of difference hey, nice work!!!

[Marshwa]

Mate what a difference, that looks amazing. Nice work!

[jpathy]

Yeah the tray has made such a difference to the look of it. I am not going to fit the SR5 rear step/towbar back on either, instead i am just going to buy a towbar that sits up nice and high to help the angles a bit more.

Also got all but 1 of my switches in and working with the lights etc so will chuck a pic up when i get a chance.
