Bloody hell @DRW I can't believe it.....go the cruiser, hope the jeep wasn't within hearing distance
I have to admit (but not buy) the new 200's are a far better proposition than the earlier ones...........

You know me well @cruza driver Ha ha .
I haven't truly finished the drawers. Maybe a compressor tank? Exhaust? And she's coming up for tyres I wanna go with Nitto trial grapplers do I use the 18"s or go some sick 17" black mags?
Maybe a poll?

Had a hankering to try an led lightbar. The LF HIDs are fantastic but I have no spread. The LCs standard HID hi beam is damn good but when the chance came up for a cheap lightbar I thought I'd give one a go. The light bar is basic 20" but the brackets seem very good. I reckon it gives a bit more spread and about 20-25% more output than the standard Hi beam. What I did learn is the light bar needs to be extended right out from the bullbar or it whistles !
Mounted the breakaway monitor permantly to the dash. Got sick of it floating around the centre console. Hard wired to the fuse box under the dash now
Hit the beach yesterday south of crescent head. Having not driven soft sand for a long time or in a modern fourbie, it was interesting what 285s and a V8 with 650nm of torque can do.
In NSW its a requirement to have the breakaway alarm connected and operating ??? .... down here south of the Rio Grande its not a requirement
yeh the 200 can make you lazy in sand. We did a few sand tracks at North Head near Jurien Bay and didn't bother letting the tyres down as the 285's and mountain of torque made it almost unnecessary. Having said that I still haven't tackled soft sand dunes yet.

a good spot to mount them is up under your roof rack
if its under the rack, you dont get the glare on the bonnet from them
just a thought
Thought I heard somewhere in the last month or so that WA has banned roof mounted forward facing driving lights. Could be thinking of the wrong state..
no, your right, they have
they have allowed 1 single LED light bar
in the centre of the Bull / Roo Bar
not above the top of the bar
not out side of the Bar
