    Looks good,

    Where can I get the quick release fittings?

    And how do you attach a poll to the fitting for quick release? (Meaning, do the polls come with the pre-attached or can I make my own and thread or weld on the quick release?)

    I have the rear light assy now (thanks AMTS)... What I am thinking is to have a quick release on the bull bar (second UHF mount point) with power socket, then I was going to have a poll with a light on the top so I can quickly attach and plug power for a front light.. (Easy cabling because its close to the secondary battery.

    Hope that makes sense...

      Thanks guys. Will start a new thread for the knock down bracket if more are interested. About to go into production...

      Bernie,
      The quick release fitting matches the safety whip I have in the for sale section. The safety whip has a male thread at one end which screws into one half of the quick release. The other half is bolted to the bracket.

      So if you can add a 1/2" UNC male thread to the end of a pole, then I can provide you with the quick release fitting.

          Andrew - how do you remove the existing fog light Perspex. One of mine is quite fogged up and I want to clan it.

            I don't think it is possible. It looks to be a sealed unit. I'll take a closer look tonight.
            I think the best you can do is remove the globe from the rear of the foglight and use a cloth on the end of a stick to clean it.

              Thanks.

              I just noticed that it is in fact mud from an off-road excursion.

                Amts, what are your thoughts on the grande petro v6 versus gxl over petrol gxl?
                It seems it is worth holding out for a bargain grande given all the added extras.
                Interested in your thoughts?
                Cheers

                  Sounds like mud has come in from the rear of the fog light.

                    I bought the Grande purely for the safety bits that come with it - mainly the full complement of airbags. The other gizmos were a bonus like the rear suspension that can be raised or lowered. It helps with clearance issues offroad, less strain lifting the trailer on ans off the towbar and is a bit of help for the kids to get in and out.

                      I added a 120W lightbar to the front of the Rhino Pioneer platform. I used a pair of Rhino spotlight brackets and an aluminium angle. The lightbar is a combo spot and spread consisting of 40x 3W CREE LEDS. The lighting is awesome. I'll upload a video from the dashcam when I get it off the camera.

                        Do you get much glare off the bull bar from the Lightbar?

                          I certainly didn't notice any glare. The video might tell a different story as it is mounted next to the rear view mirror.

                            Given you now have an LED bar, do you wish you had gone for pencil beam spots over spread?

                              Good question. I do have one pencil beam that I can swap out with one of the Euro beam driving light. I was going to put the pencil beam in between the 2 Euro beams but it looks a bit more difficult due to the angles of the Sovereign bar.

                                I only ask out of selfishness

                                I have 2x IPF800's pencil beams off my previous rig. Contemplating converting to HID, or just buying the same HID's as yours through a mate for $150. Cost wise works out around the same, though the latter I can chose pencil or spread.

                                I will most likely get the 22" LED bar off ebay (Sunyee) at a later stage, so thinking pencil would be best....
