Canopy power control box inside fuse box is a Jaycar marine part and has 1 common bus bar and led indicators that light up when fuses blow, box is another wonderful jacar part believe it or not that little knockoff pelican case was cheaper than a suitably sized junction box

Bull bar light bar mounts

Sad to say bloke, you may have to rethink that. I got pinged 6 weeks back for my light bar.

They may not be in front of or above the bull bar. OK, according to walloper who got me, to be roof mounted tho'.

[Spannerdriver]

If it's mounted upside down its compliant? Also what state?

Ok so your legal on the "nothing obstructing drivers view" but these mounts fail the "must not cause bodily harm to padestrians".
Exactly the same reason rod holders are illegal when not in use

[Spannerdriver]

In order to pass that would I need to weld a tube or something like that between the 2 mounts?
Still pretty funny they're re worried about the mounts causing harm to pedestrians rather than the 2 something tons of steel behind it potentially traveling at speed

If the 2 tonne vehicle hits you at 15km/h it might knock you off your feet and give you a few bruises, but you will probably be fine and walk away.
If the 2 tonne vehicle travelling at 15km/h had those brackets on the front it might be a different story.

Nice rig be wary of Buff out on the tracks,,,, I knew a bloke who had his 4x4 destroyed by one,,,,,

As for the light bar,,, mount it up in front of the Pod better use up high like that I think,
Paint any antenna black though,,,,lol

Or mount it under a Rhino aero bar.....

The buff were pretty good out that way, not so many any more around the township (compared to when I was a kid) that said a week befor I left one of the mine vehicles was totalled by a buff not 300m from the welcome to Nhulunbuy sign, but if you head off down the Arnhem highway a bit towards Ramo there are still herds hanging out along the road (really tasty after being slow cooked)

The one I heard of was the same time a buff killed a bloke walking home from the Pub,
pretty sure it was from Gove. I take it your like your Fishing and hunting as well,
you're living the dream there I reckon lol

Have to agree with the rest cut them off and grind smooth with a flap disc.
If you're stuck on fitting a light bar there bolt in on top of the bumper bar section of the bullbar.
You'll still have plenty of light, imo
