I have 3 of the h14 items very good unit. Only paid 120 or something through catch of the day.
I looked at those but I figured the batteries on the back may annoy me. Was yours a h14r or a h14.2 as the h14s are only like 70$ on ebay.

Nice specs but little extras like that screen just drain batteries specially when you only get 45min- 1 hr on the max lumen setting sounds expensive to run.. You don't buy a kick ass torch and run it on the 3lumen setting when it can do 3800 lol
What's the best price you have seen them ?

I was looking at the Darche swags. Comparing it to my Darche I bought 15 years ago from their factory in Campbellfield, before they decided to get them made overseas. Albeit probalby the best quality swag about now, the canvas is half as thick as my Darche made 15 years ago.

That seems to be the norm with most manufacturers now unfortunately. I liked their awning as the canvas was a lot heavier than pretty much any other awning for that price bracket (sub $300).

Its the 400nm on low and 813NM on max with 1354nm nut busting torque. Just gotta remember not to have it on high when doing the wheel nuts up. It will probably snap the stud off...

Well it was my birthday last week and I got a few vouchers for All Tools around the corner. So I went and had some fun. Now I want more... Think of getting their smaller torque wrench too for the lighter jobs where the bigger one is too big...But I'll have to save my own coin for that...

Yeah it is a bit, hi, in the torque range but their other range was Makita and Dewalt, and some other brand I never heard of. There was no Makita wrenches to look at and the Dewalt was 380mn max with only 600nm busting torque. Plus it wasn't brushless like the Milwalkee's and they didn't have what I wanted at the right price. Plus I don't like the look of the Dewalts. Lol. You have to like what your holding....

Always trying to improve my camp lighting, this is my latest set up.
The twin lights will fit onto the front centre pole of our tarp.
the black one will attach itself to a tree with a bracket I've made with a coach screw, this light will be powered with a small 18ah battery
The twin either via the AUX battery in my Patrol or via the battery box.
These lights put out heaps of light and draw bugger all power, cheap as chips too,
IMO the round are better, avoid the magnified lens its crape

I take it you can have the Patrol off the road for a few days, good time to run some spare wires for any future mod you may think of.
Looking forward to your report, as I'd love to sound proof mine as well,
In YO do you think dyna matting the roof will make it much quieter?
Is 36 squ ft enough or do you need more ,this stuff is expensive

The stuff is expensive and the majority of my floor and doors is already done. 36square feet will be more than enough to do the entire roof section and I reckon it will make a massive difference, especially when combined with the closed cell foam. There isn't much in terms of sound proofing in the roof. When I did just the firewall the difference in engine noise was amazing. Well worth ripping the dash out and doing it properly.

Not saying the quality isn't good but they are most definitely not the same as the ARB ones. They might be a good copy but the two are made half a world apart.
More than likely a copy of the Lightforce ones, which are made in China and around which there has been much controversy due to them being almost identical to the ARB ones but released nearly 2 years apart!

I hate ppl that copy any product,with a passion, but if the licence ran out like on the Tirfor winch I have no problems
Cree is a brand of LED and found in heaps of lights and torches etc
If the reflector is not up to scratch like Fletch says it would be sub standard.

If you want distance with your lights, you cant go past HID. They will always have a longer throw than LED. LED however is awesome for short to middle distance fill. I have been considering buying one of the "spread" type beam ARB LED lights to sit in between my two HID's........

@ Drew use HID in conjunction with a light bar will give
you heaps of spread and the HID will shine into the distance.

What I mean is; how many parts are copied or just the way they have to be. Eg, a bracket can only be a few shapes. You can't really make a way different shape bracket just so it's not the same as existing ones.
Don't get me wrong, I know where you're coming from but surely there are examples out there of products that just have to be the way they are. Kind of like you can't re invent the wheel, you can make it out of sub standard materials but it's main design and function is going to be the same as existing examples.

just do it , I hear they cook great
They're awesome, Stropp had one on the Simpson trip, awesome bit of gear!
Yeah they've got them on special in anaconda for $273 for the full kit but finding it hard to justify spending that, when I got other things I need to take care of first :(

Best thing I have done I reckon. I did drilled and slotted rotors with new pads, the brakes were better. Then I put in the braided hoses. Wow! Is all I can say.

My tank cleaning powder arrived today, plenty of time to rinse my new 55 ltr water bladder out.
For plastic tanks it says leave for 12 hours for stainless steel rinse after 5 minutes,

Lets us know how you go with installing these. I am constantly looking at my rear towers for cracks. None there, but I think the supports are a very good investment.

I thought about this but theres a lot of measuring and mucking around for this to make them. This case I think it would be easier just to get them already made up.

mate, easy as remove the bump stops and springs fit it in and bolt the bump stops back in with longer bolts as they use the same bolt holes and replace the springs, simple and effective.
