morning everyone!

ok, so i've been thinkin (not my strong point ;) ) but i wanna start a build soon!

the car is now thankfully up to date mechanically, and i wanna start a few mods.
first thing i wanna do is get shot of the stock bumpers and move the rear lights into the back door and the side lights and indicators somewhere into the front clip.

i've sourced some lights (advantage of workin in a motor factor, cheap parts! :guns: ) but i wanna keep the spare wheel with the car. is it, or would it be pos to mount the spare on the bonnet?
dont really wanna give up boot space.

also while im here, any suggestion for front and rear bumpers? looked at some awesome builds on here but i cant decide what to do! :er:

cheers!

Morning , I guess I'd place my spare on the bonnet and sit in it to see what is visible with the wheel there? I've got 31x10.5x15's on mine and I wouldn't be able to see a thing :shock:
Dan and Trotter have just built really nice bumpers (Pics in their build thread ). I want to do something like there's with a piece of 100mm x 100mm x 4mm box section steel and maybe a winch bumper on the front - eventually.
Post up some pics of the lights you've bought :snap:

Move the spare wheel mount to the centre of the back door to give you room for lights either side?

ah crackin ideas guys!

newtomud, i've had these old cibies for years lol the were off my first l*nd r*ver but have now found a better home on the zuke! cant get a pic just yet as im at work :thumbdown:
i've seen people mount spots on the windscreen surround, but the cibies are pretty big so i dunno if there would be enuf clearance to open the bonnet so i can get in?

there is a fabricator next to one of the garages we deliver to so may take a trip down there for some goodies!

cheers guys

you could mount the spare wheel on the roof of the cab maybe?
