Its like a G force operated inertial sensor located under the back of the centre console around the centre point of the car. It operates with the ESC/ABS system and other sensors to run the whole stability control thing.

2 hours from a pile of steel to the roof rack, all pressed together at the moment but I'll weld it later today and add some tabs for the solar panel etc



Cross bars under way, I just had to get the flapper disc on the ends of the bars to add a small taper and then smack them together with a rubber mallet. Will drill and plug weld these I think.



Once the cross bars were done I used the drop saw to split them.



And then smacked them on to the main bars with a rubber mallet, I'll weld the split and treat it like a plug weld to attach them to the main bars.





Then I split the end pieces, used a wedge to spread them slightly and pressed them on to the end bars and side bars.



All done, it mounts to my rack frame the using the current cross bar mounts and will replace the bars and basket. The gap at the back is wider to fit a solar panel.

Now to weld and paint (or powder coat)

Roofrack done and back on Frame still fits so I must have welded the rack nice and square.

Added one 20W solar panel, one more to go and then wire them up Box just up there so I could check the panel was low enough to not have anything rest on it, basically needed it below the bars, ideally right between them to protect it from branches etc. I also plan to keep the rear section of the rack as clear as possible with just long items, like the tent pole bags etc going across it.



Nicely tucked out of the way





Mounted with some homemade style rubber mounts, allows a little bit of movement and flex.

Replaced my OEM 2" lift shocks with Fox Shocks from SBR. I'll stick with the Lovell springs for now but I'm thinking of replacing them down the track with Murchison Products Flexy coils.

I'm starting to wish I paid someone to fit them for me. I'm feeling decidedly old and sore at the moment!
