Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
Got the front bumper all sprayed up, and fitted the KC daylighters (giggle) onto it. My phone is knackered at the moment, waiting for a new battery to arrive, so I'll borrow my mate's phone tomorrow and get some pics of that and the rear bumper and winch too.

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
Even thicker!
Loads of rain today so only had time to wire up the spots.
Weighed the metal and I was weigh (pun intended) off. It's 8.7 kilos...still too damn heavy for a little winch.
And if you are wondering what the air rifle is doing...a few years back some idiot let loose two parakeets into the wild, they number in the thousands now down here and every couple of years they like to roost in a tree right outside my lounge window. Last night they kicked off at 10.30pm and shut up at 5.30am. The noise is incredible.
So I'm on safari tonight...

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
Rethink number 2. Bits for Vits do a 2" suspension lift for £102. Going for that, a damn sight easier than a body lift.
And that light kit for dummies was made by dummies. All the wiring was wrong and the labels on the switch was also wrong!
So when I get paid for my Mazda rally car work I'm ordering the lift kit...then the hunt is on for fatter rubber. I know I can fit 235's in there when it's done...wondering if 31" will fit?

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
I had a feeling the switch kit would be wrong 
Which is why I had this at the ready

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
I'd say that was spot (lol) on.
They've been wired up to come on independently, not when the high beam is on. If the rain buggers off on wednesday I'm hoping to get more bits done.
