Thought it might have been. . . Just zip tie it on like that. Or go no grill- the "naked" look. . .Quote:

AB is stoked.
He had an early Christmas today. I gave him a Rope too which has only done a few pulls but I broke and bush spliced it then replaced it. Will make a great rope with an hours work to splice properly.
Done and dusted.
I am more then stoked, you sir are awesome!!!
A million thankyous for your help today.
This wasn't a rebuild of a highmount, it's a very pro complete restoration with some awesome upgrades purely from your knowledge of using them a million times and finding out problems with them.
I walked away with a huge smile and some extra goodies!!!
My beast is almost complete!!!
To finish of tomorrow...
Wire up isolator to winch in/out in cab and grille controllers and led light over drum.
New terminal for negative battery.
Boots on positive terminals.
Fix cb aerial
New bolts for winch mount/fairlead.
Hook and fix rope
I put Darren's chrome grille on my gq and it looked hot, I'll get one of them ;)
I'm trying to remember everything whilst it's fresh in my head...anything else???
Bugger... We didn't tighten up the drain plug...lol
How much and what oil did we use?
Really?? Damn it!! 180ml of 30+ weight oil. We used Hydraulic jack oil which was 45 weight. Damn sorry mate! Did you loose the plug bolt?Quote:

I'd rather start again to be sure.
Sounds good. LED over winch is a good idea and buttons up front, have to wire mine up too.Quote:
