heres some of the mods i made inside. youve got the 'buzzbar' power supply for all the spots etc and the switched cigar lighter power point. the buzzbar attaches straight to the battery and everything connected to it has its own fuses and switchs. theres a volt meter set into the hole left when i removed the center heat vents for that battery so i can keep an eye on whats going on next to it is the inclinometer ... just need to fit the ammeter and a face plate. the cigar lighter socket is wired to the buzzbox with its own switch and each socket is individually switched to.....i like switches me :ha_ha:

What is on the end of your links? rubber bushings or heims? Also, what kind of joint is on your upper at the diff? It looks like it's kinda "solid" on there.

there stock trailing arm rubber bushes from a landrover discovery and defender mate. the upper link/a-frame has a bloody great ball joint (also stock landrover)heres some pics that show them alittle better. the trailing arms will be replaced at a later date with rose jointed items to help stop axel steer and improve flex some more

communication error: what is a rose joint?

edit: googled it. over here they are commonly called Heim joints.
