Gavster29 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Gaz,That looks great well done mate, can I ask which light bar you went for? Once I've worked out my lighting I want a light bar to match.Sent from my TA-1033 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 It’s the Rc4wd one mate, if you look closely, one off the bolt heads have sheared off, retail was £55.99, I got it with the broken bolt for £20. can live with that. It’s the 6” one mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Too right. was in Martin’s (Rc-bitz) box of scale bargains at the last nationals. you can get cheap enough strip lights off eBay and just fashion some kind of mounting bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavster29 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm not in a rush to be fair, I have been trying to write some code for my light setup which will take a while plus a winch to fitSent from my TA-1033 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Bit more of a update, decided, from the off, it needed a new front bumper and by gosh, found one. made by grc (I have one of the on/off switch mods from them too) really nicely finished and well made, Also would have been rude not to get the alloy bumper mount too, All mounted up, winch isn’t wired up yet, will be after the Christmas rush along with the next batch of hop-ups..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyleftthumb Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 looking good buddy nice to see it finally arrived lol. should take alittle bit more abuse now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Lmao yeah around the 5 week mark, shocking in my opinion. The bag did have yodel on it though so not that surprised really.... thats the plan, if the end caps keep getting hung up, I can take them off. Approach angle without the winch plate is excellent so once I get my hands on a set of pitbull rockbeast xl’s on there should be good. my god, it’s never ending though....
