    nothing is hooked up to anything yet. I still need to get relays and lights.

    The windscreen is getting replaced Monday. The previous owner had a non-heated on installed. Mine finally cracked and insurance is replacing it with a nice new heated unit! I'm excited to be able to see when it snows. For some reason snow and ice just stick to this windscreen.

    Love it!

    Please tell me one of those switches will launch Patriot missiles or something that makes a big bang!

    About time someone started getting down to earth... we (self included) can be pretty precious with our old P38's "down under". I think a lot of people still want them to stay 100% original and unadulterated (self included in the past).

    At long last, my mind is now comfortable with modifying like "dremel-ing" up guards and perhaps even getting out the grinder if I want to get bigger rubber under her!

    No offence intended to people wanting to stay standard!

    Switches all finished up.



    The very top two will operate:

    *an electric air compressor under the hood.
    *Power inverter in the rear area

    The other four:
    *forward facing roof lights
    *6.5" HID Lights on the grill gaurd
    *Underbody lighting (usually called rock lights)
    *Roof lights for camping facing each side and to the rear.

    My goal is to keep it stealth. everything i've done, and will do, i want it to be understated and hard to see until you take a closer look. The only thing that really stands out is the lift and tires.

    i'm really taking my time and thinking through my modifications. I really like the look of this vehicle. its not a rockcrawler, its for exploring and still being able to run down the interstate at 80-100 mph comfortably. (i only hit 100 if i'm passing a semi.)

    Top Gun meets Biggles!

    I think there's one switch unaccounted for:.......the TeasMaid switch for that authentic brew when British'ing it up before going off-road.

    I've always thought that the area you put the switches into is underutilised, I had thought of putting in a lcd screen in the space and seeing if I can get my iPhone to play movies through it. Currently my wife stuffs it full of lipstick, eyeliner and all sorts on non-essential kit that annoys the 'hell' out of me.

    Nice switches - are they very bright at night?

    Also, like to see your secondary compressor, is it rigged into the suspension?

    the air compressor is the only one on my vehicle. i've had this on a few jeeps and now its going to fill tires using the EAS tank.

    I'm on coil springs, so no need for all that crap that was under the hood. I put the bigger electric air compressor in the place of where all that EAS stuff was. I'm also going to add an air and water separator with the system.

    I'll post up more details when i get around to that part. I'm hoping to take a trip down to Moab Utah in a few weeks to play with the rover on some slick rock.

    well, its been a wee bit since I have been on here. But I did take a short trip (amount of time I had to spend there) to Moab Utah. It was almost 1800 miles round trip. I spent more time driving there then I got to play around. But it was well worth the trip. My wife and I left the kids with my in-laws, so it was like we were on honeymoon again. kind of. he he.

    Some pictures and videos of the fun. We ran Gold Bar Rim, Golden Spike, and Poison Spider. We did them all with no lockers, 3" of lift on OME springs, and 31" tires. We saw a few jeeps on 44" tall tires doing the same trail as us. Just goes to show the supreme abilities of a Land Rover. Jeeps suck!
