Thought i would post up not only my first 4x4 it’s also my car. My dad was kind enough to buy a second hand GUlll IT 4800 so I inherited the hangbedown.

Codan Mount MK II
Well got bored on the long weekend so i decided to re-do my codan mount.
Previously as can be seen in pics it was mounted to the spare wheel and very exposed.
Now i have used 25x25mm RHS to make a frame that using extended bots mounts to the existing bracket and also spaces the wheel out. It also has bracing for extra support.
All i have to do now is remount my work light and ill be done. It still sits low enough to fit into car-parks and such.
