Was there any qualified auto sparkys there checking over the work or anyone highly competent in that area?
There was a highly qualified person there but they weren't involved in the job. While it is a stuff up and I know it could have been worse but the work and effort was for a good cause.
I hope your enjoying your rig mate. Get it up to QLD so we can show you some real tracks lol.
I'm not having a dig at anybody it's just more of showing the issue so people may be more careful in the future Queensland will be on the cards again one day ill bring some decent tracks with me so you queenslanders can experience some proper 4 wheeling
Mate, where was the bare wire?
The thing was fused so Should have blown the fuse out before catching fire.....
All the wiring I did was protected in conduit, that is a mystery to me.
I'm sorry to hear that has happened and really can't understand how....
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
