This is CRYING out for a light bar!

Yeah im thinking 3

Really enjoy threads like this........great work lad.

Are you sure 3 light bars would cover it ? lol

sorry to quote posts over a year old but light bar number 3 is in transit for the lower part of the bumper. Might fab up an A frame bar to hold it and provide me with a jacking/recovery point.

If it's mounting low, make sure it's a tight spot or pencil beam as you'll just end up with too much foreground lighting.

Edited to add, just noticed you already have the 2 on ha.

Looks good!

No flooding of the bonnet from the roof one?

You should upgrade the headlights too! Xenons!!!

It’s grand but it highlights how dirty my windscreen is now.

Love this thing! Light bar is class too matey

This is making me want to lift my grand vitara and put bigger tyres and light bars on now

Like quite a lot of Toyotas and Hondas a triggered live is impossible to find due to the lights being a negative trigger so had to order another relay wired as follows. For my own piece of mind I fused both lines form the battery.

This gave me a live trigger wire that I ran back to my 3 way switch. All working perfectly.

The 3 way switch
Position 1 : Activates and deactivates light bars with the high beam
Position 2 : Off
Position 3 : Light bars on independently

So with my new found love of auto sparking I ordered some reverse lights/working lamps. Gonna position these up top at the rear again a 3 way switch will allow automatic use with reverse and the other position to work independently for loading and unloading trailers etc. Update next week.

Looks great, just got my own light bar mounted ready for wiring, so just as well I read About the 4 pin relay (Toyota man) as I was planning to have a go myself, were did you acquire such relay and 3 way switch, as the only ones I’ve came across has to small of terminal connections

I butchered this loom with the three way switch then added another relay for negative activation.

I've been watching Murder Mountain on Netflix, that would fit right in there lol.

With the same enthusiasm but this time to have some reverse lights worth using I ordered these

save a long story ordered a 3 way switch again and a relay with 20amp fuse


Relay
85 to ground

86 to middle of 3 way switch. Signal and off position

30 to battery live important 20amp fuse

87 to new led spots.


3 way switch
Up - live from reverse bulb connected so works with reverse only

middle - signal wire from relay 86 so off

down - permanent 12v live fused so on anytime like loading trailers and useful stuff

The led spots also came with some Chavy blue led bits that wire separate so they got connected to the side light live.

@Ollie. @Cartunes. @BarryPort hope this helps gentlemen and del please tell me where to stick this diode .

Cheers

Thanks for that

Also come in handy when someone is driving behind you with their full beam on

Made it official and christened it

Apologies if it has already been posted here but what a write up!

I Really Want A First-Gen Honda CR-V, And You Should Too

A drive in Honda UK's heritage fleet Mk1 CR-V unexpectedly left me wanting one quite badly

After a jukes of hazard style jump from one field to another. I’m talking 3’ of a drop at about 30mph.

Was pure comedy gold but I also broke a drop link pulled a bush out of the lower driver side bottom arm (note this is the 3rd lower arm I’ve bought after dragging it out of the gutters with a digger before ). Also smashed the windscreen with the chassis flex. Might be the most abused crv in history.

Lesson learned that it’s not a movie extra I replaced the broken parts last week (well my mate did as I have broken ribs) and fitted more light bars to the side roof rails wired to the reverse lights
(because I have a problem).

mate does a good ‘Safety Squint’

Seen this beaut last week dungiven direction. Looks fun bud.

 

[rupertfinch]

How did the world function without LEDs. I love this Heep.

 

[JH86]

[Antoin]

Lol at the "safety squint" !

 

[j44nty]

ordered a drive shaft as the boot on the gearbox side was missing for the last year but only started making a noise now.

It’s annual clean time.
washed with Fairy liquid to strip all the other wax off .
clayed
G3 and green 3m pad to cut the scratches out.
Ran out of 105 and 205 but had some megs ultimate compound so it with 3m yellow pad.
Coat of fusso soft 99 to seal.
plastics cleaned down and dressed with gyeon trim ceramic stuff. This is an amazing product.
Cleaned the windows and done
For 15 year old paint and a working jeep it’s in good order to be fair.

I'd say between us we have a breeding pair. Anyone for pups?
