Mounted my Hid ballast better, Up Higher than it was.





My Main Battery died on friday night, so got a new Calcium battery from work yesterday. Rewired my second battery fuse box, better than before now.





Wired up an Anderson plug onto the grill, Im getting a new Ctek charger so i can just stick it on each night to keep the fridge running without my second battery flat

Codan Mount MK II
Well got bored on the long weekend so i decided to re-do my codan mount.
Previously as can be seen in pics it was mounted to the spare wheel and very exposed.
Now i have used 25x25mm RHS to make a frame that using extended bots mounts to the existing bracket and also spaces the wheel out. It also has bracing for extra support.
All i have to do now is remount my work light and ill be done. It still sits low enough to fit into car-parks and such.
