    mounted on the front of your Pod but kept close to your roof will be a winner mate.



    Thanks MR.

    Just had a look at your last mod pic and your set up is illegal in WA. You're only allowed 4 spotties, in total,
    in addition to your two headlights.

    Even the 2 on the top of your bar is illegal over here. Apparently it obscures your vision. The cops are pretty heavy on empty fishing rod holders
    on the bull bar too. I've heard of lots of yellow stickers being given out.

    So, here's my plan and I'd like your advice.....

    Put 2 spotties either on the cab or on the pod on a 10 and 2 position. My 2 bull bar mounted spoties will cover the road, and the 2 on top will cover the sides of the road.

    If I put the spotties on top of the pod, the light might creep down between the pod and back window and If I put the lights on the cab, I might get light reflection from the cab roof onto the white bonnet.

    The idea of a 'shelf' sounds encouraging. Thanks Tim. If I mount the 2 spotties on the top front of the pod just under the top, and have a 'shelf' made up to shield the light from creeping inbetween the pod and the back cab window, I think I'm on a winner.

    Also when I'm driving along on high beam, the NissanPatrol.com sticker should light up like a trucks air foil sign. lol

    I don't want to go on top of the pod. It's too high and will hit every branch. Plus it won't fit under Macca's Drive Thru. lol

    Any thoughts on this?

    DUH.... disregard my post. I should have read your thread properly.

    Oh well, another opportunity to promote DX grunt and NP.c.au lol
