Because you kindly asked @GQtdauto
Just some quick pics of a reversing light & shovel/spade holder I made for the Y61.
I've wired up the light so I can turn it on when needed, it's not connected to the reversing lights.

Well done mate I like it .
Does that spacer have the proper sized studs and nuts?
Seems to. It's an old one I used on a Hilux.Quote:

Ok thanks, might look to blanch some of this onto my wheelcarrier
10G looks good the ocky strap would hold it snug.
As an option for those interested, I pick up a second hand ARB H/Lift jack BRKT that clamps the shovel handle quite well (do even hang a 12mm steel cable spool off it ocassionally). Adjusted brkt stand off distance from rim dish face so the shovel mouth pulls up against tyre sidewall. Secures well.
Millweld rear bar - swing spare wheel carrier & dual jerry (tools in one J holder). Behind (back of) spare wheel / carrier have fixed a reverse light brkt and adapted a Kaymar H/Lift jack Brkt back of swing arm to secure jack (tucked away in between door and spare wheel)..
And yes thats a tree branch that fell on the top (few blending scratches only).
