            • Was down at the shack, and found a smallish bump - not the best pictures to show the flex:

              • Have mounted and wired up the LED light bar. Halfway through wiring up my sandflag as well...

                Pic's to come.

                • Well spent most of the weekend doing this project...

                  First off was the tidy up and re-splicing of the Lightforce harness for the LED Light Bar (Bought a second cheaper harness, because the Lightforce one stopped working - after a relay change, turns out it was a dodgy switch!)




                  Not photographed was the wiring run to the roof - running up the windshield on the passenger side to the Rhino Rack. Not to mention the splice of the trailer loom to the Lightforce relay positive. For those of you going to comment about the gauge of wire in the trailer loom, I thought of that - red/yellow positive, black/white for negative.



                  The most challenging part was to put a switch for the sandflag - ended up pulling the WHOLE center console out. Turns out it wasn't such a bad thing as a failed Maccas run with the offspring resulted in a spilled drink....and allowed me to clean the whole thing properly. Should note that I had to pull the head unit off of my GME to get at the switch blanks.



                  But the result is the lightbar works!



                  Thanks to amts - who suggested splicing into the light positive for the Carling switches - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...Switches/page5

                  Thanks to LiveFreeAndRoam - for giving me the solution for interior switched power - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...pressor-CKMA12

                  • Good to see you are getting it all ready for the 2015 GTG.

                    Seriously you have done a great job with your install and by the sounds of it the Pradopoint community has helped out as well which is always great to hear.

                    • I missed two photo's from the install!

                      What a prado looks like with the center console gone....

                      Should also note when I was putting it back together, the lid from the console always had a rattle to it...

                      Turns out that the bottom metal bracket only had two screws, and they were loose! So replaced with similar wood screws. Then I noticed that the lid had some "play" in it, being in IT, I had some rubber feet - so low and behold, no more rattle from the lid!



                      The Rhino Rack mounts and cabling tidied up.

                      • Light Comparison

                        With my TJM Foglights (which I pretty much use as headlights) - pictures don't show the light that well...



                        Fog's and low beam



                        Fog's and high beam



                        Fog's, highbeam and lightbar

                          • To tell the truth, I'm more chuffed about solving the rattle!
