I received my seat covers from The Wetseat yesterday (not happy with Aus Post leaving them out the front) and fitted them last night. I am truly impressed with the fit on the rear seats however I think the front being a universal design lets them down a bit, hopefully with a bit of use they will stretch and fit to the form of the seat a bit better.2013 [COLOR="#006699"][B][SIZE=2]Blue Storm[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] D4D 150 GXL Auto, Opposite Lock Bullbar, Safari Snorkel, GME 3345 UHF + AE4018 Antenna, HR Tow Bar, TG150, HD Rhino Roof Racks, Foxwing, Dual Batteries, C-Tek DCDC Charger, ARB 47L Fridge, ScanGauge II, Internal Fishing Rod Storage, X-Ray Vision HIDs and LEDs, New PP Sticker....

Cheers GB, it is a good spot there and fairly out of the way until I put my oversize travel mug in the cup holder. I just use the other side when that happens.Originally posted by graphite bullet View Post
I have a CTek DCDC charger on the way. Actually gets fitted on Tuesday then I can finally use my UHF.
Cheers,

Sorry about the slow reply Matt. I hadn't noticed your post.Originally posted by Matt - mr4x4 View Post

They are pretty pricey at $48 but it saves drilling holes. I think postage was up there to, between $10 and $15.2013 [COLOR="#006699"][B][SIZE=2]Blue Storm[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] D4D 150 GXL Auto, Opposite Lock Bullbar, Safari Snorkel, GME 3345 UHF + AE4018 Antenna, HR Tow Bar, TG150, HD Rhino Roof Racks, Foxwing, Dual Batteries, C-Tek DCDC Charger, ARB 47L Fridge, ScanGauge II, Internal Fishing Rod Storage, X-Ray Vision HIDs and LEDs, New PP Sticker....

I picked up the car from Opposite Lock this morning after the aux battery install. I now have power to the UHF and to a rear Anderson plug and where I will be installing a fuse box for fridge and lighting power.
This afternoon I got around to putting some heatshrink on the UHF aerial spring. No more annoying healight reflection for me or the Mrs.

What a great idea! Is it a durable solution? Just wondering how the heat shrink copes with the bouncing around.Originally posted by stevep84 View PostMy 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automaticComment

It should be fairly durable MJ. I haven't driven it yet but it should be pretty good.

I had heatshrink on mine for about 12 mths before I replaced the antenna (unrelated to the heatshrink) It did a great job in reducing the thing from wobbling around thus prolonging the life of your aerial...2004 V6 Grande. BLACK -Comment

I've never really been bothered by reflections from my aerial spring but it's a good idea. What did you use to shrink the tubing? I've seen heat shrink guns at Bunnings for under $40 but they have about the same power output as my hairdryer which is 1500w.
I'm thinking plastidip might do the job also, not sure how well that flexes though.Comment

That's another bonus I had read about reducing the wobbling. Since I have put my around town 150 aerial on top it wobbles a lot more.Originally posted by craigm View Post
I first tried with the better halfs hairdryer but that was uselss. I borrowed a heat gun from and cranked it up to 400ºC and that worked a treat. It is a digital Bosch one so I don't wanna know what it's worth.Originally posted by fido666 View Post2013 [COLOR="#006699"][B][SIZE=2]Blue Storm[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] D4D 150 GXL Auto, Opposite Lock Bullbar, Safari Snorkel, GME 3345 UHF + AE4018 Antenna, HR Tow Bar, TG150, HD Rhino Roof Racks, Foxwing, Dual Batteries, C-Tek DCDC Charger, ARB 47L Fridge, ScanGauge II, Internal Fishing Rod Storage, X-Ray Vision HIDs and LEDs, New PP Sticker....

MJ, so far the shrink wrap works a treat, no more glare off the spring and a great deal of the aerial wobble is gone. So it looks like a win so far. If it only lasts I'm happy because the shrink wrap was free and it only takes 10mins to change.Originally posted by mjrandom View Post2013 [COLOR="#006699"][B][SIZE=2]Blue Storm[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] D4D 150 GXL Auto, Opposite Lock Bullbar, Safari Snorkel, GME 3345 UHF + AE4018 Antenna, HR Tow Bar, TG150, HD Rhino Roof Racks, Foxwing, Dual Batteries, C-Tek DCDC Charger, ARB 47L Fridge, ScanGauge II, Internal Fishing Rod Storage, X-Ray Vision HIDs and LEDs, New PP Sticker....

Ok guys, being that I am not very electrically minded I am after some advice.
I have 1 and I plan to get another GTI single LED flood light. I plan to mount these on the rear Rhino cross bar, what I would like to know is how do i wire them to come on with the reversing lights and still have a switch in the rear to use them as a camp lighting?
