Impressive lights on your bull bar there!

What did you use? 5mm leds or 1w /3w-leds?

The aerial looks a bit odd though.. What about a thinner antenna? ..out of 1mm spring steel or something similar..

Cheers

Pip

Hi pip, the aerial is a typical long range UHF CB Radio aerial that is common here in Aus

Also the LED's in the spots are the fog light LED's that come with the truck..

Hi,

thanks for the pic. I probably didn't make myself clear.. Sorry for that...

Position and size are ok.. I just thought the antenna to be a bit thick.. looks like 3-4mm.. a 1.5mm antenna would look better.

...but I see you actually have your receiver's antenna wire inside the tube, so forget about my comment. Well done!

Cheers

Pip

Arrow Re: Cossetts Aussie Knight

Hi all, with some help from from Tim and some head scratching and a few stuff ups with the RT mud guard and modifying a few things the back end is locked down for now until its time to paint the miscellaneous parts, the rear tow hitch is from 1800-tim (thanks mate),
"This isn't a perfect truck with nice straight panels everywhere it a honest working rig with some imperfections here and there.........."







Cheers Tracy
