AB even came up with the idea of mounting the light under the light bar!!!! He knows Stuff...............all.

you liked that idea don't lie

Awesome work anyhow guys, I can't wait to see it and it's making me want mine back from the welders even more now!

Awesone stuff. Will have to try out all these new goodies soon. I do like the led idea, might have to steal that one, would have been handy on that last adventure we did in the dark.

Seriously changes everything in the dark mate. No Brainer. I have had a light there as long as I have had a Himount. Winner.

If you don't have a lightbar handy hanging under your top rail of your bull bar then on the back of your number plate works great. That's where mine is..

See this post from my build thread showing the light on my plate

See on the back of the numberplate i have fitted a white LED marker light that is switched with the winch isolation switch in the dash and lights up the winch whenever power is connected to it. F*#king awesome at night for winching.

good news, was chatting to a work colleague today who has spliced rope a million times from rigging equipment and will show us in person how it's done.

Just unwrap it and cut out the crap bit then wash it (even just through a bucket of water) then grab the eyelets and get him to sort it for you, winner!

Going to do a few mods to mine whilst it's out and on the bench. Where's a good place to get air line & fittings for breathers - would a good tool shop have those? Also how did you modify the brake shaft. Did you get it drilled and tapped or weld a nut on the end? Also! What plate is on the end drum - doesn't look standard?

Any hose shop like Pertek will sell pneumatic hose fittings and air hose like that. That Brake Shaft was modified by Flamingfab and he welded a nut and made the end cap. I upgraded to a Gigglepin Brake shaft and gave AB my modified one. Lucky bloke.

Again the drum has been professionally modified with an inner roller Bearing installed to replace the nylon bush that Warn use. Makes a massive difference to the friction on the drum end. I bought it a couple of years ago and again gave it to AB as I have gone a Deltatek Air Freespool.
