Great job Dan did you set it up with a switch so when you lift the hard cover they come on.

Yea more lights was one of those job's i was going to do with the canopy before I changed my plans for the triton. :D

Thanks guys! Rats, I am still to buy a switch for that. When I do the auxiliary battery I'll throw one in. I'm too worried if I don't do it right it will move and stay on with movement in the lid an I'll get a flat batt. But definitely on the list!

If you are looking for a winch soon dont forget the 4x4 show
http://www.4x4show.com.au/melbourne/

I got mine there from Avenger 2 years ago, very nice price.

If you are looking for any items it would be a good idea to hold out if you can

Slapped these on today! Got them for a nice price. Some narva 175's. I'm not one who needs a lot of lighting as I don't do a mass amount of night driving. But they will do the trick and if am upgrade is needed it's an easy swap I believe now that the wiring is done. Click to view larger pictureClick to view larger pictureClick to view larger picture

Have a heap of pics to put up soon. Will try do it one day this week!
