amts' 120 Grande V6

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.

Try Sunyee as well who has the same HID spotties.

Finally got the chance to add some lighting for camping in the form of strip lighting on the awning and a quick release telescopic pole. The front quick release pole can be used to light up the engine bay or turned around to light up the campsite.

Here's a short video of the 120W lightbar used in conjuction with 2x 55W HID spotties.

just wondering, do you find the glare off the bonnet and bullbar distracting?

i found myself squinting when watching the video, i would imagine that in real life it would be worse??

No, no issues at all. The camera is at the top of the windscreen and it has a very wide angle lens. So the bonnet takes up a lot of the view. From my driving position, i don't see the whole top tube of the bullbar. So not much glare at all. Below is my view of the bonnet/bullbar.

Found a spot for the TPMS that does not require drilling into the dash or stuck to the windscreen. It is simply wedged between the Cig lighter plug and the sidepanel.

That's good to know as the thought of glare was turning me off fitting a light bar to the roof rack!

My phone has an over temp issue when used as a GPS on long road trips. It would continue to run the GPS app but cannot charge which means a flat battery by the time I get to my destination.

So I needed to make a phone holder that is in front of the air vent. It needed to be a no holes on the dash design so that things can look standard later on.

I removed the driver's side air vent next to the stereo which gave me access to the side of the stereo. I picked up a $2 bracket from Bunnings called something like "Make a bracket". After spending a bit of time shaping the bracket, I ended up with this....

Bracket bolted to the side of the stereo


I then covered the bracket with glue lined heatshrink and a few layers of foam tape so that the phone cradle doesn't wobble.
I then tied shock cord from the passenger's side air vent to one of the holes in the new bracket to act as a "clothesline" to hold a 7" tablet for offroad navigation.
The USB charging cable runs behind the trim, then down and out into the centre console where the cig lighter sockets are.


Here is the end result with the phone cradle attached. It's a bit high which leaves a gap in the vent hole below the cradle but it means I haven't blocked off the entire vent and I can still get some air.


The phone now works well without over heating.

Amts..please post up some pics when installed!

Are they 'special' one's for Sovereign bars? I remember reading the 'outback ideas' like a lot of us have, are not ideal as they can put too much strain on the chassis? I feel Amts' itinerary/product range ever expanding??

I wasn't too keen on the original OI points, of which I do have a set sitting here gathering dust.

Yea macaroon I read that also a whole ago so I didn't purchase them. They were at the time the only one that really fitted with the soverign bar which is what I have. I have used the factory ones (yea I know technically not recovery points) but I use a strap/bridle what ever you call it between the two and a dampner and no issues. Only reason to put these other ones on are to keep the clubs and things happy. Waiting to see pics also fitted up..... Cheers Steve
