Green Gecko Build

[dom83]

Your jeep looks awesome mate you have got to be happy with it. I would love to build something like that with mine but knowing my luck i would literally roll 1 wheel out the drive way and get ticketed.

I am so sold on the poison spider light bar mount though they make the jeep look so bloody mean.

Thanks for the comments, the light bar whistles a bit but I think there is a quick fix for that by putting some tube between the fins and I need to pull the mounts in more to the a pilar as there is a little rattle on the bumps, inthinkmill just ak it outa bit with some rubber. In a week orvsonill start on the rear..

How did you go mounting the switches there?
Can you still take the hard top off?

Hi Rockgod I remember reading on another forum that the whistling could be caused by the light bar being upside down. Not saying yours is but maybe try flipping it over. Otherwise yeah I have also read about putting the rubber over the fins helping too.

Jktonka,
The Spod switches installs very easy and yes you can take the freedom panels off, the switches don't interfere.

Dom83,
I aslo read this, I'll give it a crack..

Looking good, a top job there.
Maybe I'm being cynical, but the flares, coupled with the shorter width front bar, expose the front area (radiator, axle/tyres/steering etc) making it easier to damage?
I hit a roo in a Hilux last month, she hit the ARB bar front right corner, I can only think if it was your rig the roo would be sitting inside the engine bay.

Didn't think they had many roos in New Zealand
