Looking good. I can see it all starting to come together now. Will be a weapon when it is finished. I was just wondering if you have considered the weight. I was told to get a weighbridge cert on my XJ before i can take it in for inspection, and it came in at 1.96T, which is 250 kg below GVM. Not sure if they re-rate the cars or what, but with all your plate, armour and accessories, you may be punching above your GVM.

Cheers,

well after being fucked around for 13 months from this so called importer, i have organised a shipping company to pick my parts up and ship them over.
they are obviously more interested than old mate as they can reply to me in less than 3 days time...

also have a few parts being CAD drawn over the next few weeks too

happy days.

Couldnt trace an unused wire that goes to the headlight harness
Dragged the spare harness out and began looking
It goes to that random spare plug on the passengers side under the dash
So now the headlight leveling is totally in and working!
The line is the low setting with the jeep 1.5m from the door.
