Cool , At the rear I'd love to fit two extra spot lights of about 36 watt only square .
they would fit perfectly on each rear upright support.
Not 100% but might use some type of 5-6 pin plug,
that I can just unplug if I need to remove the rack
Using this style to light up the Stainless steel name plate
Pics are of my new leds for the roof rack, two small ones will highlight the SS name plate the other
I hope will be enough to light the area under the awning.
Bullet light is 6watts

Really enjoying the progress here. Some really great idea's you have going in this build. Love the idea of indicators on the bar. Are the lights you'll be wiring to the parkers legal? I read up on the ADR's a while ago about DLR and Fog lights and they all have a particular height requirement which in most cases are far too low for Patrols.
Looking forward to seeing the end result of this build.

The Patrol is clean so dont expect problems regarding the indicators. basically just clearance lights.
I'm going to fill the uprights up with Sixaflex I think. Also decided to remove the 2 x 36 watt ATV leds from the back
and just fit one 27watt flood work light with a switch inside the rear somewhere.
Still need to sort out the awning mount but dont expect too many troubles.
Need to get it on my roof so I can start on my campers Canopy
I also cut the plate off the back as well

this is my awning bracket its a piece of 50 x 25 2 mm rhs I had lying around.
I need this to keep the awning from flexing at the front.
so its off to the powder coaters tomorrow to get some protection on it
I have 3 holes drilled to pick up the roof rack these have a rubber grommet
on both sides and will be fixed to the roof rack with gutter bolts and nyloc nuts.
The centre bracket is longer and will have some kind of LED bolted to it

can anyone tell me if there are any abs spacers or such that go on the mounting
plates to set them up for different roof heights, I dont really want to move it
forward any more if I can help it,
As it is now I can just fit the light bar under it,
not ideal would like a bit of clearance.
I have a 3/4 ARB chinese copy roof rack

Yeah was thinking that, looks like I need to get some rubber tub liner
and do a bit of welding, Might see if I can drill and tap first.
I have a few different style brackets I could use

Picked up my awning bracket this morning, I'll mount it onto the drivers side
after I weld the light bar brackets on, [Im slack as ]
Going to mount it differently now, on the three clamp plates to secure the roof rack I'll drill a hole
and weld in a 5/16th coach bolt x 1 .5" long. Each hole on the yellow bracket has a grommet either side,
so slide onto bolt an then fit a flat washer and a domed nut. This will make it look neat.
The ends are enclosed. Should have it all done today. lol
The Rhino bar on the front will be removed
