Lights:

in the rear i have 2x 6 inch rear light bars, which I have wired with an OEM look switch to enable the lights when i put the vehicle in reverse. I also have a switch tucked away where it cant accidentally be turned on so i can turn the lights on when camping.

The original headlight bulbs were about the same as a candle. i upgraded these to H11 LED's from Stedi, from memory they were about $100 and were worth every cent!

I love driving at night in the bush, its a completely different experience. The 32inch Stedi light bar on the roof is great when I'm off road, it gives great spread and distance, i do get a little bit of glare off my bonnet because its white.

Under the hood:

A redarc BCDC1220 is charging an 80ah battery, this second battery is used to power my UHF, rear lights and a 12v outlet in the back of the vehicle.

I was using a Provent catchcan but i have recently removed it after i cleaned my EGR, it was about 50% blocked so i decided to install a blanking plate with a 7mm hole to prevent any damage to the engine and keep it clean.

I Installed an airtech snorkel, which was hard to do when the car was only 4 weeks old!!!
