So during the week had some Led 12V lights turn up. Bought them from EBay pretty cheap $68 for 4 x 60cm led bars in aluminium channel. Each consist of 36 individual Led’s and draw around 0.32 amps per hour. Each bar comes with a water proofed DC connections on each end one male one female, so you can wire up one or wire all 4 together.
So I have decided to mount these under the hard lid, so when camping it is easy to see when cooking and also lights up the tub. The lights come with channel clips with I screw into the lid on the underside.
I have made these a non-permanent it as I will be getting a canopy during the year and will move then into it when it arrives. Went down to JayCar and got a female DC connector and a cigarette plug with cable. Was going to use allot thicker gauge wire but the DC connector has such small connectors had to use some twin core speaker wire I had. The low current and amp draw should be fine for the speaker wire
Below are the lights mounted under the hard lid
The light they provide at night not bad I think for a low amp draw. I’m very happy with them.
While I was buying on EBay com across some car mats with “Hilux” embroidered on them. They are straight out of Thailand and look pretty good. Like the back one as it goes over the tail shaft hump and both rear foot wells.
Also found at the same Thai shop were the below chrome scuff plates, could not resist getting my chrome on so packaged them up with the mats and got a pretty sweet deal for both items.
Well thats it for the time being more to come latter
