Sorry, been doing a few more jobs  :D
I 've fitted the CB into my Mud dash
I used a din mount which gives a good simple look to the dash



I've used a side mount on the back of the roof with a Orbitor antenna.

Then it was time for a big install
First job was to fit a rear work light

Followed by my new fibreglass headlining  :mrgreen:





And my new roof console

I had to cut the headlining to fit the console.  The two are not instantly compatable as the console is designed around the Land Rover headlining



The cb has been relocated up into the console so i put the blanking tray back into the mud dash

Headlining is looking rather smart

The finish looks like this

I installed a passenger grab handle too.

You have to trim the sun visors down when fitting the roof console



I fitted a 100 amp alternator

Then i began the ply lining of the load area.



The Series sides have ribs that run along the length which i used to fix some baton too





Now that the basic walls are in place i can start planning the lay out of the rear.  There will be accessory sockets in there for the fridge and so on.
I'll do the flooring soon then find some material to cover it all.
Then i'll insulate the walls, seal the panels in and get some edging on the ply.
i have  fitted my new rear diff guard  :dance:

Its a ARB Dana 60 cover which fits like a glove  :wink:
Just got to get a D44 one for the front axle now
i fitted some much nicer, original looking heated mirrors
I brought a couple of new mirror heads and drilled through the bottom

Took the mirrors apart and stuck heater pads on the back

Added a decent length of wire then rebuilt them



Then drill down through the ball section of the mirror arm
And the underside if the arm into the hinge





Remove the door hinge bolts and open hinge

Route the wire through a p clip

In through the bulk head

Once both sets of wire were in the car i removed the top of the dash to feed the wires to the Mud dash





The switch, relay and fuse were already in place from my previous install

To celebrate i gave it a birthday wash and polish

Now for the winch
First job was to replace the sagging springs with some HD Land Rover springs, new dampers and some D44 HD turret rings

Then i fitted a Milemarker SEC-8 winch

I stripped of the wire rope ready from my Plasma rope

For security i have installed a HD battery isolator switch





I want to install winch switches on the dash and use my Warn wireless remote to operate the winch so i replaced the solenoid pack and fitted a Allbright contactor





You can now see its sits nice and level







More to follow
 :afro:

cotefarmboy:
Are those springs lifted? If not they may just be the ticket for mine as it is also drooping at the front even without a winch! I'm fitting some 33" tyres so don't really want to lift it as I don't think it's necessary.
