Bigger 70cc hydraulic pump and 20,000lb hydraulic winch for the back to replace the Warn 15,000 electric
Have you done the calcs for this? Do you know the specs at all of the PTO capacity? You will need 16hp to run that pump @ 1000rpm @1500psi. And about 110nm of torque when at the 1000rpm and 1500psi. I don't know the specs of the PTO output off the side of the patrol box just trying to make sure it's done right. Also you can't use a hydraulic winch if the engine isn't running, where an electric might flatten some batteries but could get you out of a lot of trouble before doing so.

Finally found some affordable cornering lights for my Series 2 fenders at AliExpress and didn't think twice!

Fitted the bar last weekend. I hadn't considered raptor coating it until Mickhead made the suggestion but it really looks great!
Cheers @Mickhead
First thing I've had a go at spray painting too.
Base coat with a metal shield epoxy enamel and then one bottle of raptor to do the front.

Is this raptor paint actually harder than standard 2 pack? would seem its going to be harder to wash with all those rough pockets? I do like the matt look though.
It has a hardening compound that you mix with it before application.
The paint is actually like a soft jelly before you add the hardener to the bottle.
Hopefully a high pressure hose will be all that's needed to wash it if required.
Edit: best part was that I didn't need to get the surface preparation perfect and the raptor covered any rough areas.
You can see in this photo what it looked like after paint, but before raptor.

That has come up smicko mate! Mine’s looking a bit tired and you’ve given me food for thought.
