    I'm guessing you've worked out the speed the tread of the tyre is moving links up to the frame rate of the video capture.
    The centre step is spinning quite happily.

    You can pick up a spare wheel flap if you turn up.

    Springs..

    So, having covered over 5000kms now in the 101, there are a few things that need addressing. The lights, steering and ride.. I've been trying to decide wether I remove my third leaf from the front and see how it goes... Snap decision was made as I drove home from work to remove them. So an hour on the tools and the two leaves I fitted for the diesel have been replaced with two 16mm plates (to retain my sump to diff clearance). Well, that's the first niggle dealt with.. Ride height has dropped a little, but not as much as I thought.. The 101 now sits perfectly level.. I think the weight of the two rear spares and camp boxes has lifted some weight off the nose. As for on road handling.. Much better. Nice and smooth, but still stiff enough to feel what's going on. Its also eliminated a slight vibration I had at 90kph, and runs beautifully at 100kph. Next is the lighting and steering!!!

    I chose the standard Narva light buckets and 7" round lights. They adapted easily to the factory mounting plates and put out very good light. These with an upgraded loom would provide a very simple/reasonable cost upgrade.

    You can see what they look like in my build thread. They make good work lights too


    I'f you're going to make a new front bar and happy to spend some money maybe look at their ADR approved LED lights - they look pretty

    Hi Stuee..
    Like Mick, I love those LED lights too, but the price!!! Ouch! Originally I was going to go with the Narva ones you pictured for the outer two, and some described as 'aircraft landing lights' for the center two, but they are a sealed beam, and off road vibration put me off them, so I think I've settled on 4 of these... The 'Halo' type... which I think would look cool on the front of a big white imposing 101!!! . Open to opinions tho!
    I also have this daft idea to set the lights up so that the outer two are the dipped beam, all four are on for main (inners switchable with 100+watt globes), leaving the inner dip globes free for some alternating flashing lights.....
