    Smashed indicators AGAIN :/

    Been offroading today and once more have smashed my indicators and erm re-arranged the wings
    http://youtu.be/4eSg6PISjRw
    and from inside the truck , it's the last few seconds

    So I reckon I'm going to bin them and fit some LED ones on the bonnet above the headlights instead.
    I've got the side lights in the head lights already
    Might even shorten the front eventually

    Haha love it mate!, love the "makeitfit" attitude.
    But...... Maybe you should have put side hoops on your bullbar? Thats why they're there, to stop ya smashing the indicators

    Where would you put leds as you need ppl at 90 degrees to see whats happening.I was thinking along the lines of the tojo FJ40,
    Not sure how they would look on a patrol as only One guard Not 2 like FJ40 and landrover,
    Does the sun ever come out over there lol

    I'm going to build an exo cage off the ends of my winch bumper thing eventually Will be 45mm tube though. Brush guards aren't up to it. My old bull bar "ROOBAR" ? took a hit and just bent a bit and then ofcourse bent my wing :@ So the fit list goes on...............................cheers

    The "SUN" you say ? Just googled that and erm, er, not often lol
    Thinking LED onthe bonnet and one on the side of the wing , repeater.That'll fix it
    On closer inspection this morning the whole plastic grill thing has taken a pounding too, so I'll make something to replace that too I think.
