Thats a funny looking expanda!

 

[Stone Stomper]

I know Bigman but love it after so many years of canvas, just doing a few mods and will post the new beast.

 

[Brad]

Love it. Not sure if it is because it is painted red or because it looks chunky or because it has yellow shocks. Who cares.. It looks great. Too bad you can't turn the van upside down as you drive down the road so more people can see.

 

[Stone Stomper]

I know, if the misses can't find me I'm laying under the van with a coldie....

Changed the ARB parker/indicators for LED ones off ebay

How was access SS, I already have one blown on the Prado's ARB bar. Have heard they are a pig to get to, is that right? Or was that the driving lights, not sure.....

I know I can't believe for the amount of money ARB charge for these bars and still put old type globes in, not hard to get to you just need to unbolt the two side wings under the bull bar and I cut the plug off the old lights and soldered to the new ones.

Given up changing the parking globes on the ranger's ARB bar, because the lights are automatically on, the parking bulbs don't last long and are a pig to get to.

Loog Good SS,

@Holden_man @crackacoldie According to the people at ARB head office that i contacted, they will have the LED bar light and indicators available in late March, early April. That are a straight bolt in to current bars.

I belive the 150 prodo bar is now coming out with the LED. But don't quote me. This is what i read when looking at the bar for the 200.

But it did take a long time, they claim something to do with volume and finding someone that could produce the qty required at the standard they want.

Anyway time will tell.

Just been reading the Prado forum, and the ARB facebook page and as @TTBRIDGE says there is now an LED retrofit available from ARB for about $95 for Prado's and standard in Bars from April, they finally woke up
That will be a purchase at the caravan and camping show mid year...

I still would rather give a local ebay (autoelec) $44 for them than give ARB another $95, we had the same issue with our Hilux and had a service in the Kimberley (caped price) and there was an extra $49 charge to change one of the parking lights in the bull bar, I went off.

 

[Holden_man]

Hi SS,
Would you have the eBay link, wouldn't mind grabbing a pair. $44 for a pair does sound better than $95 for a pair, and they are probably out of the same factory.

Here is the link, I could only get one screw in as they are a bit longer but just silicone the other side. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LED-FRON...43-/300857607091?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:AU:3160

Thanks @Stone Stomper
I did mine today because one of the globes was blown. Glad to get the LEDs in there. I dont want to access that are again in a hurry. It was a bit of a bugger.

 

[Stone Stomper]

That's great, they look a lot better too.

Stone Stomper, I have just been looking through this thread and I am amazed at what you do!!! Love your work.
I have a stone stomper stone gaurd so I have seen your quality with my own eyes, but have you ever considered changing that name to maybe Stone Stomper stone gaurds AND 4x4 accessories? One thinks you would be very competitive with other big 4x4 accessory companies.

We go just out of Waikerie to a free one, very similar looking but very secluded.

Hi mate I'm interested in finding out where in Waikerie you go. Is it any good.

Cheers

It is between Waikerie and Overland Corner, very near to Overland Corner, you enter down what looks like a private driveway, can't remember the name on the gat though sorry. Site is only good for one or two vans at a time.

That's very kind of you TACA but I would never get away then it would be all work.
