Wow, I have been so busy lately with work, socialising and 4WDing that I haven't really been on here much, or at all for the fact
Since I last posted, I have added some dents and scratches to the car, an Ironman 12000lb monster winch with synthetic rope, and a dual battery system waiting to go in.
I finally ordered a battery tray to sit in the funny spot the battery has to go.
I have been a bit slack with getting stuff into it, and enjoying just driving around. The winch control box got mud in it and corroded out all the wires inside, my bad for mounting in a crummy spot.
Oh well I have a new one now (not installed as yet as I am looking at places. I have to fit a snorkel on some time, I have all the tools required, just need to get it done haha!
I was thinking of mounting the control box in the engine bay, but where there's enough room, there's 1 tiny little thing in the way. I am thinking of mounting it in the side wall of the engine bay, where the snorkel pokes through the side into the space between the quarter panel and the engine bay, but mount it in the engine bay side.
The only other option is to get someone to fabricate something for me to bolt to the wheel arch in the engine bay.
