Got the nav looking sweet mate, im planning on rigging up some reverse/work lights up the back of canopy also just wondering what brand, cost and how ya rate the ones you got? cheers.

thanks mate
the led lights are handy
the drivers side is hooked up to reverse light and has an override switch on dash for those pesty tailgaiters
passenger side is for camping and is switched in tray
they are very bright, approx $90 each
i got them from blackwoods

i also reworked rear switch panel and upgraded to 2 x 12 v cig
and 2 x 12v merit

got the kit from ebay to suit thee roolights
easy mod and quality fittings

Bash plates look great, hid are awesome

 

[sparra04]

so today the son and i fitted bash blates
there were some mods to the front plate and the middle plate,rear plate was fine
i made an inspection hole and cover for the sump plug in the middle plate and cut 20 mm off the wings so they dont hit control arms (thanks for the tip rusty)
the front needed extensive mods to make it suit the nissan (arb )steel bar
to finish off we butchered the oe front plate to match up with bashplates
all up i looks neat
see pics

I do oil every 5k aswell. That tap idea would be good. Get some pics up when you have done it. Be interesting to see where you attach it to.
